I read a lot of loose articles, but in a recent school dance (prom), I felt like I kept making the same mistakes.
Hello,

I do a lot of salsa, and most often have a fantastic time, and get the impression that most ladies I dance with too, are aslo having a great time.

Some advice (coming from salsa background, so not sure how this translates to other forms of dance) ...

Being good at dancing, considerate, fun, cheeky, creating a connection, a shared energy. Just be there to enjoy the dance, not chasing or fondling the ladies, though it's okay if they're inclined to be flirty-touchy-feely with me, if I'm okay with that. Enjoy yourself. Do what you can to make her have a fun time. Focus on your own fun! Learn how to dance (take lessons). Be sensetive, smooth and sensual, not lugging her around the dance floor. Be subtle, less is more (make smaller moves is often better than big ungalant moves). Have 'floor-craft' (an awareness of, and even interation or banter with other couples on the dance floor).

Hope that helps!
