Band: Silence In B’tween Check out their Website
“Silence In B’tween” is a professional, soft and ‘easy on the ears’ musical group of ‘fun-loving’ and passionate musicians who love blending classic musical genres of many generations, from the 40’s era to the modern scene. We play Foxtrots, Rumbas, Waltzes, Cha-Cha’s, Two-Step and contemporary dancing styles from a repertoire of Yesteryear Pop/Vocal Greats, 50’s Rock & Roll/Do-wop, Swing/Jazz, Traditional Country and 70’s Soft Rock music. We pretty well have no boundaries on musical styles.
Dance Floor Etiquette
Dance floor etiquette is a way to fully utilise the dance floor so that EVERYONE has fun.
It is just being friendly, polite, and respectful to other dancers and using a little common courtesy.
Dance Floor Etiquette serves to increase the available dance space on the floor.
DANCERS MUST MOVE AROUND IN A COUNTER-CLOCKWISE DIRECTION FOLLOWING THE “LINE OF DANCE”. Don’t use the dance floor as a pathway to the bar or kitchen.
THE DANCE FLOOR IS DIVIDED INTO LANES. THE OUTSIDE LANE is described as the FAST lane, where you can see Two Step, Triple Two, Quickstep, International/American Tango, or any FASTER travelling dance. THE INNER LANE for slower dances. The closer you go to the centre, the slower you go.
THE CENTRE OF THE FLOOR is for line dances, swing dances, Argentine Tango and any stationary dances that have no or minimum travel. DANCE THROUGH THE CORNERS! If we use the corners, once again, we virtually increase the size of the dance floor by reclaiming the parts we’ve never used before.
ALWAYS BE COURTEOUS TO OTHER DANCERS ON THE FLOOR.
If you are partner dancing, always try to shield the lady from bumps and bangs on the floor. She probably can’t see what’s coming, while you can! If there is a collision, always apologise even if it isn’t your fault.
