I have to disagree about #2. Dance as well as possible so that your  
dances are as good as possible. But, it isn't necessarily the  
strategy to get more dances. In fact the better followers often get  
fewer dances as the Intermediate guys become intimidated!

You miss the single most important strategy:

Have a great Personality: fun, laughing, pleasurable, attractive.

If you have that, you don't need any of the other strategies.
