It Is con sidered good form, so If you like dancing you should do it also. When, a man wants to cut In with any special girl he sees dancing he stands on the "side lines" and when he catches the girl's eye raises his hand or makes some little sign or questions with his eyes, and when she nods accept ance he goes to her and takes her out on the floor, she having stopped with her part ner.
