It can make a real difference to anybody! I remember going to one London club (that shall be nameless!), doing the beginners class, doing the fun intermediate class, trying to be a perfect guest when they were obviously short of men and got generally good feedback for my efforts as far as I could tell.
I didn't know anyone when I walked in. It would have made such a difference if one, even
one of the many staff on duty that night had said "haven't seen you before, welcome to _ _ _ _ _ _ _"). I don't want a conversation, but a "Where are you from" only takes an instant, and can make a big difference to the lasting impression.
