Dancing with/welcoming Newbies

Tips On Dancing With Beginners

sivier.me

I found this link full of tips for experienced dancers partnering with new ones. Some of the tips (like tapping your shoulder in a hey) obviously don't apply to other dances, but I think some of them do (like not pushing or pulling and dancing smoothly without too many flourishes). What have your experiences been? When you were new, what did you wish the experienced dancers would do to help you?
