DANCE TIP
When dancing closely
with a partner,
please do not blow
into his/her face.
Keep your mouth in a smile
or close it and
breathe through your nose.
If this is difficult, try
taking a decongestant tablet
before dancing;
perhaps see a doctor
for allergies/ sinusitis.
Before coming to dance
avoid eating odorous foods/
acidic beverages,
brush your teeth and tongue, floss,
gargle with mouthwash,
Occasionally eat a mint.
Drinking lots of water also
helps prevent bad breath.
