Being a Good Dance Event Attendee
- Please do not offer unsolicited advice to fellow dancers either in class or on the social dance floor.
- Please use your full range of senses on the dance floor to avoid accidental collisions and injuries. It is every dancer's responsibility to be aware of their own and their partner's movement and position, as well as the movement and position of the dancers surrounding them, in order to avoid all forms of dangerous contact.
- Please be respectful to both event staff and hotel staff, even if you are experiencing a personal frustration. Without the goodwill of these individuals, a smoothly functioning event is impossible.
- Finally, be aware of your own boundaries and physical needs. Do not neglect your health, do remember to sleep, do wash your hands frequently, and do remember to take your meds if applicable.
Code of Conduct details
- No forms of harassment will be tolerated. Harassment includes offensive verbal comments (related to gender, gender identity, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, OR religion), sexual language, images, or invitations in public spaces or online, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of workshops or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.
- Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
- If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the event organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the event with no refund.
- If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of event staff immediately, using one of the following methods: 1) Ask any event staff member to point you to the safe spaces coordinator; 2) Contact the Space Spaces Coordinator directly [Elizabeth Polinsky, (915) 525-2381, [email protected]].
- Event staff will be happy to help participants contact Safety Staff, the organizers, or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the event. We value your attendance and your safety.
