Quick Dance Tip: Nails
Just like in any sport, it is best to keep your fingernails short. This is so they don’t get caught on anything (and rip off).
Also, for dances that have a lot of turns, like the Swing, fingernails can get in the way of hand-holds with your partner. Long nails will cause you to shift your pressure further up the fingers which makes the lead/follow connection unstable. Long nails can also cut into your partners hand.
Having short neat nails is being considerate of your partner and is responsible dancing.
