I love dancing…especially Salsa Dancing!  I don’t go as frequently as I like but I love it nonetheless.  But partner dancing, which Salsa Dancing is, does require adhering to some rules of etiquette.  Especially in the hygiene department.
Partner Dancing requires being in close contact with another person and their personal space.  Which means that person will be in your personal space.  So you should be prepared!

• Use deodorant.  You may think you smell like a peach and love to be Au Natural.  Perhaps your friends and family even agree.  Cool!  But be on the safe side.  You may end up dancing with someone that doesn’t think eau de you smells so peachy and they won’t dance with you again if they have to hold their breath the entire time.
• Be gentle with the perfume/cologne.  No one wants to feel like they’re dancing with a brothel.  Feel free to use whatever perfume or cologne you like, but go easy.  You don’t need to bathe yourself in it.
• Use mints or gum.  Maybe you just ate a delicious meal doused in garlic, or had a juicy burger with extra onions.  Regardless, the person your tangoing with does NOT want to know what you just ate.  So pop a mint.  Chew some gum.  Spritz some Listerine.  Just do something to freshen that breath.

Here’s to some cha cha cha!
