follows:<\/p>\n<p><strong>We\u2019d love it if you would:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ask someone to dance that you don\u2019t normally dance with (Ladies may always also ask men to dance)<\/li>\n<li>Clear the floor and change partners during the cortinas to give more people the chance to dance with you or your partner<\/li>\n<li>Try using the cabaceo (smile\/nod) both to ask and agree to a dance.<\/li>\n<li>Before joining the ronda please watch out for approaching dancers.\u00a0 Wait for a nod of approval from the leader approaching before moving in front of him to start dancing.<\/li>\n<li>Be aware of everyone dancing around you, in particular watch up for others joining the dancefloor and &#8216;nod them in&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>If you need to cross the dancefloor to get to the bar or toilets etc, please wait until there is a cortina, or if necessary the end of a track<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Leaders, it would be great if you could avoid:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>zig zagging in and out of the line of dance<\/li>\n<li>allowing a space to open up in front of you \u2013 this means that dancers are building up behind you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Followers, it would be great if you could avoid:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Walking backwards onto the dancefloor when asked to dance, please walk forwards or wait to be led to avoid backing into other dancers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<hr align=\"center\" size=\"2\" width=\"100%\" \/>\n<p>This video from two highly respected international teachers,
