Etiquette at the Ball, London, 1895

Dance etiquette is the set of conventional rules which govern the social behavior of social dance by its participants.[1] Such rules include the way in which the participants should look and the way in which they approach, dance with and leave their partner. Etiquette can vary in its specification and stringency between different styles of dance.
