Don't be a bully

Some people take dance lessons to just enjoy the art of dance and learn how to move their body a particular way. For some, it comes rather naturally. For others, it is often a tool to improve on certain factors in their life and the movements take a great deal of work to process.

Dancing is a sport that requires many things. However, body awareness and confidence definitely rank at the top. It is important to keep this in mind while dancing with someone because any type of criticism could be devastating; especially if they are trying their best. Learn how to be of assistance without making them feel like they've done something wrong. Dancing is a very vulnerable position to be in so one must realize that dancing with a partner is requiring a certain amount of trust. The trust goes beyond lead and follow and extends through how one feels dancing with that partner.

It is not nice to poke fun at a fellow dancer who's goal (obviously) is to do their best.
