Dance Host Program

At the bottom of the page is the typical requirements for a dance host on the cruise lines.   For my dances all that applies and is just common sense.

 

For now, at my dances I could use 3-4 Dance hosts depending on how many single ladies there are. 

  • - Dance hosts most importantly must not have favorites - give equal time to all dancers

  • - Dance hosts are expected to dance and keep socializing to a minimum

  • - Dance hosts should be able to dance from 7:30 (dance lesson) to 11:00 (when 2/3rds of the dancers are still around)

  • - Dance etiquette is, offering to dance, and escorting the lady back to her table

  • - Dance hosts need my OK before each dance (depending on how many single ladies there are)

  • - Dance hosts get token admission for most dances

  • - There is no payment for being a dance host!   Sorry

  • - For New Years Dances the dance hosts would pay a nominal fee

  • - To be a dance host for a particular dance check the dance out in advance - you should be able to dance 1/2 - 2/3'rds of the different dance styles to be played at each dance.

  • - Dance hosts can be single gentlemen or married men who would like to dance even though their spouses are unable to attend!    Age is not an issue - whether you're 20 or 70 doesn't matter, just be able to dance, follow the above guidelines, and if you are younger, dancing with someone old enough to be your mother is required!

Being a Dance host is a great opportunity to hone your lead skills in real time.   Offering this program, I have no doubt I will get feedback from the ladies on their experience! - As I do regularly! What you do on the dance floor reflects on me and these dances.
