Dance Etiquette Tip #2 - When on the social dance floor, during a social dance, it is poor manners to correct a fellow dancer. However, should a fellow dancer ask for your critique, you may offer one or two tips. More than one or two suggestions can be overwhelming to a new dancer and may take too much time away from actual dancing.
DANCE ETIQUETTE TIP #13 - When on the social dance floor, you may find it surprising that dancers can and will do different kinds of dances to the same song. For instance, Frank Sinatra is usually great for fox trot, but his music also lends itself well to lindy hop. In general, when faced with these two options, those wishing to swing dance should stay to the inside of the dance floor allowing space on the outside for those wishing to fox trot.
Please also note that because these different dance forms move in different ways (fox trotters travel in the line of dance and swing dancers shift around in relatively the same area), it is important not to unintentionally cut each other off or box each other in a corner.
