you are very lucky, any fall regardless from horses or dance floor can be quite dangerous..

Tried the mineral oil trick tonight at a social dance and it worked a treat.
We were two tables full, we all used it; people who hadn't used it were complaining bitterly about the slippery floor, so I assume it had no discernable impact on the floor, just on the shoes.
The same group has been going to this particular dance floor for several weeks, so again, no lasting impact on the floor from what we could determine.

mineral oil OK will try that after I finish my bottom of castor oil....that has also worked well, but having said that my shoes may not be that good especially one pair which are not high quality, the soles are inferior suede and they don't look so crash hot.  |

learn to dance on sticky floors. by that I mean dance so that the floor does not matter
A sticky floor has advantages in that it forces you to use excellent ballance and footwork...

looks diagnostic for some problem - though I have no idea what it is... perhaps TD will stop by, I'm sure he would have an idea

I thought slippery floor really forces you to use excellent balance. Easier to slip and fall over if not on balance. Geez do I have plenty of experience in the department.  |

well, they both do - if your ballance is off on a sticky floor you can find nothing under you just as fast as on a slippery one ...

If you have a sticky floor then you are forced to really use the "walking" action more. You will not be able to slide therefore you have to walk. You will also have to decrease the foot pressure on the free foot.  Surprise........you have to walk to deal with it. |
