I would agree with you on these points:

1. Line dance etiquette says you should not talk to another person while a dance is going on. It’s distracting and some people won’t be able to hear the music. If they were chanting, that would have been very rude to the rest of the floor;
2. Did they stay on the outside edges of the floor – away from the line dancers? That area is usually set aside for couples. If not, they would have been disrupting the line dancers. If they did stay to the outside, they would have been taking over the place where the couples dance;
3. It seems from your comment that they weren’t even doing the same line dance. Is that correct? If they wanted to do something different, and they weren’t even using the music for the line dance, they should have gone into an adjoining room so they didn’t disrupt the line dance in progress.

Yes, they were rude and they were showing poor line dance etiquette. What was their point?

My article on line dance etiquette is not every point of etiquette there is, but maybe you can give a copy to your teacher.

I hope your next experience line dancing is more positive.

Please clarify the following for me. At ou recent Line Dance social while we did an intermediate dance, some of the improvers decided to form a “snake’ or “train and chanted circling the hall while we dance which I found disrupting. On querying with our teacher she said it is allowed and they were within their rights. I disagree as it was not a Line Dance they performed.

I would appreciate you comment

Unfortunately, I’m not part of the America’s Got Talen team but I do have someone there that you can contact about auditions: http://www.agtauditions.com

This is their official website. It gives you all the information you need to schedule an audition with America’s Got Talent.

Please keep in touch and let me know how things are going for you. Do you have a recording of any of the songs you love to sing? If so, I can put it on my blog.

I wish you all the luck in the world.

That’s a very good point! I will add it to the blog post. Where I took lessons, this wasn’t a problem so I never thought of it. We had an adjoining room where a new dancer and an experienced dancer could go so the new dancer could be taught the steps away from the main dance floor. Thank you for your suggestion. Do you have any others?
