The handshake

In Denmark when greeting someone for the first time (in a formal setting) it is common courtesy to shake their hand. Examples of such formal settings are: meetings (e.g. job interviews) formal dining (e.g. dinner parties with your company) celebrations (e.g. weddings)

When greeting someone, make sure to have eye contact, grab their hand firmly and shake.
