找出早期在網路上下載的一篇美國方塊舞禮節與大家分享:
GROUND RULES FOR SQUARE DANCING方塊舞活動公約
I. BE ON TIME FOR CLUB AND CLASSES: In square dancing, one late couple or person may mean that three other couples or seven people must sit out.
準時: 一對或一人的遲到意味其他三對或七人必需坐”冷板凳”
ll. DON'T LEAVE EARLY: By leaving early, you are telling the other dancers and caller that you did not have a good time at the dance. The "wind-down" tip is just as important as the first or middle tips. Plan to spend the complete evening when you come.
不早退: 提早離開是告知其他舞友和指揮者你沒有規劃好時間參與此活動,請務必認知最後”放鬆”的一節和前段或中段一樣重要. 當你前來時請先計劃能參與完整的一晚.
lll. BE A THOUGHTFUL DANCER: Personal cleanliness is important in square dancing. Don't forget to use something to sweeten your breath. Don't drink, smoke….
體貼的舞者:個人潔淨是非常重要,不要忘記使用一些可使口氣清新之物品,活動前不喝酒、不抽煙等。
lV. GET INTO SQUARES QUICKLY: When the caller announces to square your sets, join the square nearest to you that needs a couple. Do not wait the certain square that personal expecting.
迅速進入方塊: 指揮宣佈進入方塊時,應迅速就近組成,勿刻意挑選方塊,以廣結善緣。
V. BE A GOOD LISTENER: Talking during the course of square dancing is distracting to you and especially others. It makes it difficult for others in the square to "catch" the instructions and hear the music. You can help others best by being in the correct place at the correct time. Pointing or a hand motion is always the better way to direct someone that is going in the wrong direction.
認真的聽講者: 課堂中之談話會分散你和其他人的聽講而造成”補捉”授教指示和聽音樂的困難,你可適時適地幫助別人而最好的方式則用指示或用手勢指導即將走向錯誤方向的人
Vl. BE A COURTEOUS DANCER: Always introduce yourself and your partner to others in the square if you don't know them. Thank them for dancing with you after the tip. Even more important, beware of the unpardonable sin: never leave a square once you have joined it until the tip is over. If you must leave in an emergency, try to fill your spot with a substitute.
有禮貌的舞者:主動向其他人介紹自己和舞伴,如不認識他們則等結束後謝謝他們一起共舞.最重要的是小心不可原諒的禁忌: 每節段落結束前絕不擅自單獨離開,因緊急狀況非得離開則試著找替代者補位
Vll. BE A COOPERATIVE DANCER: It might be said that square dancing is an activity where everyone is responsible for everyone else's happiness. A square is not made up of eight individuals working independently, but rather in one unit with no individual person attempting to show off or be a star. The real pleasure comes when each person does his share making the square run smoothly.
合作的舞者: 方塊舞是具合作性的活動每個人都有責任使其他每個人快樂,一個方塊不是由八個個體單獨活動意圖表現或想成為明星而是一個團體,真正愉悅的是來自每個人的付出使方塊進行順暢.
Vlll. TAKE IT EASY: Don't overdo. If you are too tired to dance, sit out. Sometimes you can learn a great deal just by watching and listening. If another dancer is watching and listening, don't insist upon talking. Square dancing is a social event but not a place to socialize during tips or rounds even if you are not dancing.
放輕鬆: 不要超越體力, 如果太累坐下來休息 有時候光是看和聽你可學習極佳的概念,如其他舞者正在看和聽不要堅持聊天,方塊舞是社交聯誼活動但在活動段落之間即使你當時不跳也不是交際的時機.
DON'T FORGET "A SMILE ON YOUR FACE HELPS YOUR FEET WORK BETTER."勿忘記: 臉上的微笑幫助你跳得更ㄅㄧㄤˋ
