Give yourself time to check in, stretch, and settle in. Rushing creates anxiety and throws off your groove.
Be mindful of others when moving across the floor or practicing. Don’t block the mirror unless invited to the front.
Let the teacher lead without interruption. Save conversations for before or after class.
Use them only when permitted (e.g., for filming at the end). Always check studio rules first.
Everyone is at a different point in their dance journey. Support your classmates, cheer others on, and give yourself grace.
If the class runs in groups or across the floor, wait your turn and keep the line moving.
Thank the instructor before you leave — a small gesture that goes a long way in dance culture.
These basics help create a positive environment for everyone. Dance class should be a space of joy, expression, and community — and you’re part of that vibe.
