Etiquette for MIS Social Dance in the Hall GENTLEMEN Smile and use the 3 Cs. Take time with your grooming to look and feel confident. Offer your bent arm to a lady and ask her May I please have this dance? After the dance, you lead the lady with her holding your bent arm, back to her seat and thank her for the dance. It is both considerate and responsible to check that all ladies in your class have had a dance on the dance-floor (everybody must be included). LADIES Smile and use the 3Cs. Take time with your grooming to look and feel confident. When sitting, keep your knees together, rest you hands on your lap. Always accept a dance that a gentleman has offered by saying, Yes, you may. Rest your hand on forearm of the offered arm near his elbow. When the gentleman has returned you back to your seat you say, Thank you. Remember we do not own our friends and it is showing consideration when we check everyone in our class has been included.
