We value a community that is friendly and welcoming to everyone; therefore:

• We welcome newcomers without regard to age, gender/ gender identification, dance ability, sexual orientation, race, religion, relationship or economic status.

• We avoid irrelevant and 'hot' topics of discussion (religious, political, etc.)

• We prohibit behaviors that create a hostile environment through verbal abuse or intimidation.

• We respect a "no" when interacting with each other. The preference may be stated in words "No, thank you" or by cabeceo (no eye contact = refusal).

SAFETY & ASKING FOR HELP

Our physical safety is important to the longevity of the community therefore:

• Anyone may ask for an escort to their car

• We mitigate risks by paying attention to floor hazards and promptly removing them.

• We do our best to protect our partners from injury.

• If you are harassed or notice someone else being harassed (even if unsure the behavior is a conduct violation) contact the host immediately.

• Incidents and reports will be investigated. Both parties will be interviewed about the event.

• Participants asked to stop poor behavior are expected to comply immediately.

• Event organizers may take action in response including educating the offender, giving a warning, expelling without refund or banning the offender from future events
