舞池禮儀：
* Dance in lines! - we are not here to Squiggle Dance
排排站跳舞!—我們來這裡是跳排舞的
* Listen to the DJ to know what dance is being played,
and for any floor-splits being called –
it will help you ensure that you are doing the same dance as
the person next to you
注意聽DJ的指示好知道現在要播放的舞曲
* Ensure that if you are sitting at the edge of the dance floor,
your chair does not block anyone if you are getting up to dance, please just push your chair under the table to allow people to
walk past
如果你坐在舞池旁邊,在離座去跳舞時,請確認把椅子推到桌下,以免妨礙到別人通行.
* Move forward when asked by the DJ -
you may feel comfortable in your current position on the floor,
but other dancers may be struggling for space behind you!
And if you are in the front row,
act confident because don’t forget :
everyone else is following YOU
當DJ要求往前時請往前移動—也許你對目前的位置滿意,但是在你後面的舞者可能在為一點點的空間而奮鬥呢!另外如果你是前排舞者,一定要充滿自信地跳舞別忘了:後面的人是以你為標兵的.
* Leave the dance floor when the music ends,
unless you are staying up for the next dance
當音樂結束時請離開舞池,除非你是留下來準備跳下一舞曲.
* Be aware of your surroundings -
remember to take smaller steps when a new dance is being taught,
or a popular dance is being played (the dance floor may be fuller than normal)
and NEVER kick too high or jump with both feet off the floor
(it’s not a gymnastics class!!)
留意四周的環境—當在教授新舞曲,或者在播放流行舞曲時,記得腳步不要太大(舞池可能超過正常容量),並且不可踢得太高或者雙腳跳離舞池(這不是健身教室!!)
請不要這麼做:
* Walk across the dance floor when music is playing to reach the other side of the Hall as this is dangerous not only to yourse lf but to other dancers who may not see you - you should ALWAYS “walk around”, not “cut across”
當舞曲音樂開始播放時,直接穿越舞池到另一端,因為這是危險的,不僅對妳也對那些沒看到你的人—你應該總是繞過而不是走捷徑地穿越.
* Try to join an existing line once a dance has started -
you can dance in ANY line, not just the one with your friends in it! There are no “Reserved” signs for places on the dance floor
當開始起舞時請加入已有的排列跳舞—你可以在任一排起舞,而不是你朋友在的那一排!舞池是沒有任何註記”保留區”的空間.
* Try to join an existing line where there is not enough space for you to do so ... you wouldn’t like someone to “push in” beside you, so please don’t do it to anyone else!
如果想要加入的那一排沒有足夠的空間給你起舞的話…因為你不想要別人”擠進”在你旁邊,所以你也不要這樣對待別人!
* Bend down in the middle of the floor to tie the laces on your sparkly dance shoes- this is very dangerous as you immediately become a hazard to the other dancers moving around you
在舞池當中彎下腰來繫緊你的鞋帶—這是非常危險的,因為你會立刻成為在你周圍舞者的障礙.
* Carry drinks across the dance floor at ANY time whether there are people dancing or not ...this causes a slip hazard for EVERYONE - all spillages should be cleaned immediately
不論任何時候是否有舞者在跳舞,攜帶飲料穿越舞池--這會造成對每一個人潛在的滑倒危機,所有的傾溢物都應該馬上清理掉.
其他:
* A “floor-split” is when 2 dances are being done at the same time to the same piece of music - this will almost always be split between front & back. It is VERY important that if you are joining the rear of the “front” dance, you MUST leave space between yourself & the front row of the “back” dance to ensure that no-one collides once both dances have begun
舞池分割是發生於同一首音樂有著不同的2版舞步時—大多數的情況是分成前後兩部份.重要的是如果你是跳舞池前半部的舞曲,你一定要在你自己和後半部的前排留一些空間,以確保兩首不同舞曲開始時不會互相碰撞.
* You may very occasionally find that partner-dancing is being done around the edge of the dance floor.
It is acknowledged that partner dancers have the right-of-way, so just be aware of this if you are dancing in a line bordering the edge of the dance floor.
你或許偶爾會在舞池邊緣看到雙人舞.雙人舞是被公認有優先權的,所以如果你跳排舞的位置剛好也在舞池邊緣時,一定要特別注意.
* Please remember everyone was a beginner once, and that newcomers should be encouraged -
but similarly, please don’t get up for a dance that you don’t know ... you may become a hazard as other dancers move around you, or if you then try to exit from the dance floor in the middle of the song
切記你我都曾經是初學者,因此要鼓勵新來的人—同理,請不要為你不會的舞曲氣憤…你很有可能成為在你周遭舞者的危險,或者那時你試著在樂曲播放中離開舞池.
* It is courteous to apologize to a fellow dancer if you bump into them, or kick them accidentally (unless you don’t like the person), in which case you should always seek to blame someone else!
如果在跳舞時不小心碰撞或踢到周圍的舞者(除非你不喜歡那個傢伙),向他們表示道歉是有禮貌的,不論哪種情況你都應該尋求對方的諒解!
