Dear Princess Darby,

What is the correct etiquette on the dance floor at clubs?

There are beer bottles, spilled drinks while dancing, and so much bumping and grinding that I'm black and blue from elbows poking me everywhere!

Dear Dented Dancer,

There is dance floor/club etiquette, except when they're in a hot trance, it's forgotten!

Rule of thumb, if you are jabed by elbows, stepped on, or spilled on, move counter clockwise so either your partner or someone else who's wild out there will be the target not you!

That reminds me, could we ask the shirtless sweaty hardy dancers out there to keep in mind there are dancers on the floor that would like to go out as they came in- dry and smelling sweet!

And, ladies, if you're not built to wear hip huggers and short mid riffs, be assured when they're looking at you, it's not the style of dance they're looking at!

Have fun, people are generally nice. Smile, then move them away!
