Seven safety tips for Ceroc dancers

  • the floor is for dancing, walk around the edge of the dance floor rather than trying to thread your way through the dancers
  • take off sharp rings, bracelets, hair pieces and keep your nails short
  • if you are sharing, learning or practicing new moves, do it off to the side of the dance floor
  • if the dance floor is crowded, do not take up excessive space or travel from area to area, look around and behind you so you don't crash into others
  • air steps (aerials) & lifts are for competitions and performances only and are banned from the social dance floor, never lift without permission
  • do not drink and dance, if you have had too much to drive, you've had too much to dance
  • make sure your breath is fresh and use a deodorant
  • manage your wellbeing; drink plenty of liquids at long sessions, wear suitable shoes and check out our first aid kit for minor injuries
