Re: Taking to the floor

Thank you George I have noticed it also.

I once attended a dance and this was happening and the MC "bit the 
Bullet" and announced that if the dancers didn't clear the floor 
between dances and wait for the band to introduce the dance, he would 
stop the dance proceeding until they did. In fact three or four dances 
later they resumed the same practice and when they appeared to be made 
up in complete sets he requested the floor to be vacated and all 
dancers to sit down before he would resume the evening program.

It didn't happen again that night. Needless to say they lost two dances 
off the program.
