Top 'Rules' of Etiquette
by Jeff Miller and adapted from 'The Swing Book' by Degen Penner
1. Welcome Beginner Dancers.
New dancers are very intimidated by better dancers. They are not likely to get better without dancing by veteran dancers to help them out. They usually hang out at the farthest table. So if you are a beginner dancer, just ask.
2. Asking Someone to Dance.
You don't need to make the question too complicated, just say "You wanna dance?" Swing dancing is a perfect place to get out and just have fun and not be be a signal for "getting picked up".
3. Never Say "No" and Dance with Someone Else.
If you say 'no', stay out that dance. And make sure you ask them for the next one.
4. Be Polite to Your Partner.
Keep your attention on your partner. Do not look around the room for someone else to dance with next. Best yet, keep eye contact and just smile!
5. Be Courteous After Your Dance.
After dancing, applaud the band and fellow dancers. Guys...also thank your lady for the dance and lead her back to her seat.
6. Be Aware on the Dance Floor.
If the dance floor is crowded, do not do aerials, big kicks or travel too much. If you bump into someone or step on someone's foot, just apologize.
7. No Drinks On Dance Floor
Do not bring food, drinks or smoke on the dance floor, that is what tables are for. We love to slide on the floor, nothing ruins a dance floor than someone spilling a drink.
8. No Parking On The Dance Floor!.
Do not stand around on the dance floor. If you are waiting for someone, wait to the side, you may get in people's way.
9. Support the Dance Club.
Keep the nightclub wanting your business and therefore keeping swing night. Grab a bite to eat. If you don't drink when you dance, at least buy some soda or water. Do not bring in your own water to drink.
10. Be Aware of Yourself
Swing dancing not only is a lot of good exercise, but you do tend to sweat too. Please take time to notice of how much you sweat during a swing dance event. So...bring a towel to dry off after every dance. Have an extra shirt or two to change into during the night. And quite possibly, bring some deodorant for before & during the event.
**11. SMILE!
It is contagious. We are all there to have fun and dance, so keep smiling!

Hey! Don't be so scrupulous about the rules. The simple idea is that swing is a social dance; it involves people and their feelings on the dance floor. As in any company of people, there should be politeness, awareness and respect for feelings of other people.

I'm not "scrupulous", I just wonder how not to offend people if I have a headache or for any other reason can't dance for a while

Eugene: My answer, late as it is (and it's a situation that happened to me recently) would be something like this:
If Person A asked you for a dance, and you had to say no for some reason, then Person B asks you right before you ask Person A again...
Explain to person B that you had promised this dance to someone else, and promise sincerely to find them again later to dance with them. Then, when you've finished dancing with person A, go find person B and ask them to dance as soon as you can.
There you go... problem solved.

3. Never Say "No" and Dance with Someone Else.
If you say 'no', stay out that dance. And make sure you ask them for the next one.
Suppose you've been asked for a dance, and you have said "no". Following the rules of etiquette, you've stood out the dance, and just before you asked them for the next one, some other person asked you for a dance. What should you do? You can't say "yes", for the Rules of Etiquette strictly say that you must dance with the first person. So, you have to say "no" and stand out the dance. But after that which one you need to ask for a dance? The first or the second? oh... this is a headache!
Never say "No"!
