Are You Getting All You Can With Social Dancing And Networking?

One might be very surprised in knowing that a wide variety of businesses professionals are in attendance

. Being open-minded in looking past the stereotype that dancing is for finding that future husband, wife or ill minded one night stand, and open up to the real opportunity of networking and getting all you can while dancing and showing off your dance moves. Every strong minded individual controls how and what intentions they convey. Here are a few points to consider for the social dancer:

1. Break the Stereotype with your Body Language - Of course dancing and having fun are on the top of the list, but exhibiting that you have more to offer than the night club stereotype in your body language will surely project to others as the evening progresses. Yes, no doubt, there will always be those stereotypical dancers in the crowd. Although, projecting a strong and positive vibe in your own body language will minimize any unwanted approaches or advances.

2. Don't Judge the Book by its Cover - Its sad to say that many great opportunities have been passed up at many casual dance events, thus causing one to miss a great networking opportunity. It is human nature to judge first, and this is so deep-seated that it may never change, but the great news is that everyone has the power as an individual to not fall into this embedded and destructive social stereotype. This is another reason why many dancers are missing a possible great networking opportunity and advancing in their skill. Try accessing instead of judging. Okay, so you notice a dancer that is kind of awkward when dancing and you immediately dismiss them as approachable. This type of rushing to judgment has been the cause of many lost opportunities. As we know, it may be a passion, but there is more to life than dancing. There are people in the crowd just as interested in sharing more than dancing and may just talk about what they have to offer. Who knows, maybe your fun evening of dancing may bring a financial or career prospect.

3. Be Open to Sharing your Profession - You can breathe a sigh of relief that most social dancers go dancing with their mind cleared of the night club stereotype. Of course there are as many opinions as as the saying goes. In being a professional, one can decipher and gain an advantage. You might discover that in the crowd there may be an answer or an option that can open a dialogue and create a fun dance partner and possibly even a future profitable business relationship. On the other hand, discard any conversation that is not judged worthy and use the dance etiquette of smiling as you politely move on. Keep smiling and shining around the room!

4. Don't Yammer-CLOSE THE DEAL! - You know that person, or you might be guilty of jumping on that soap box yourself. Be conscious and courteous as a conversation begins. Remember, we still want to dance and show off those dance shoes and dance moves. Think of it as a two-minute presentation and speak slowly, clearly and to the general point of your profession. Extend the courtesy to the other, and unless you feel a possible connect, it's time to get dancing and/or move on, with a thank you and a smile of course. Although some things go without saying, its always good to be reminded to be careful when sharing any contact information. Surely the person you are sharing with will be seen again in another dance event. When and if the networking information that is being shared is deemed worthy, and the person seems sincere without other motives or intentions, you may have started to secure a great business opportunity and an advantage for you both as time goes on. Again, even if there is nothing in common regarding business, you will always have dancing in common.

5. The Follow Up - So youre having a great time dancing and have made some awesome and interesting business contacts. Whether the contact pans out or not, the common professional courtesy of a follow-up call and keeping the door open may bring a recommendation to a third party which might have more in common related to your particular business. As we know, social dancing is one of the best receptive audiences where opportunities are available, but many times are lost due to the stereotypical thought. Thank goodness that as individuals, and through dancing, we have raised our own personal thoughts and expectations above any stereotypical thinking and control our own progress. And for those who lack the mental power and control, may the higher power of every belief enlightenment them soon. As always, I wish you all the best in everything, happy dancing and successful networking.
