1. Thou shalt dance only for the fun which thee will find in it.
2. Thou shalt not be a snob, considering thyself too good to dance with any and all, sitting out the mixers, or leaving a dance mixer lest thou be required to dance with those whom though deemst unworthy of thy talents, for the gods of retribution are zealous gods and will visit their mischief upon thee and thou wilt be the one to goof the dance.
3. Thou shalt not forget that thou were once a beginner.
4. Thou shalt be exuberant, but thou shalt act thy age. Do not offend others by thy highflung legs and out-flared skirts.
5. Thou shalt go abroad and dance with others so that thy opinions expressed as to the merit of this one and that one are indeed based on facts.
6. Thou shalt not let the stranger in thy midst sit on the sidelines and cool his heels or fail to speak to him.
7. Thou shalt bath diligently, that the sweet aroma of soap and shaving lotion may assail the nostrils of thy associates, leaving the more earthly smells to the farmyard.
8. Thou shalt take care that the words of thy mouth are not scented with garlic or beer.
9. Thou shalt honor thy club and give it thy loyalty, for if thou canst not do this, it were better to separate thyself from it and join thyself to another, whose methods and members are more to thy liking.
10. Thou shalt not kill thy club with bickering and fault finding.
Follow the above Ten Commandments, and thou shalt be guaranteed a good time at any dance you attend, and further, will know that you have helped others to have a good time, too.
