Have you heard the phrase dance like nobody's watching? The best comeback is to smile and have the best time of your life. It will help diffuse the awkwardness of the situation when they see you're having a great time. This comes to another good point. If people make a rude comment my strategy has always been to ignore it. Maybe not so much any more times have changed I've changed but the point is the same. It takes two people to have an argument so if one person says something and the next person says something back then the first person feels the need to say something more and it escalates. When people get into trouble I always ask and there's almost always a back and forth dialogue. I get the idea of sticking up for yourself but maybe this isn't the time to do it. I've always kept walking not that I have much trouble these days but I've never actually had any serious trouble so there's that. Not definitive proof but it worked for me.

This is all great advice thanks ladies! But I hope I have the courage and poise to follow through with it in the next couple of weeks...my only time out was a couple of years ago, felt comfortable at the CD friendly bar but a nervous wreck walking back through the hotel after!
