* Be confident. Walk up to the person you're interested in with your head held high and your shoulders back. Make eye contact and smile.
* Be direct. Don't beat around the bush. Simply say, "Would you like to dance with me?" or "Can I have this dance?"
* Be respectful. If the person says no, don't take it personally. Just smile and say, "Okay, no problem."
* Be prepared. If the person says yes, be ready to lead. Place your right hand on their waist and your left hand in theirs. Start by taking a few slow steps together. Then, you can start to move more quickly and add some variations.
* Have fun! Dancing is a great way to connect with someone and have some fun. So relax and enjoy yourself.
