We want the Burning Swing to be a safe space

…anyone (yourself included) is free to say no to a dance, without need for explanation. If someone refuses to dance with you, don’t take it personally, there are thousands of reasons why someone would say no (a foot that hurts, an urge to solo dance, simply the need for a break, for a drink, …).

…everyone should feel safe from physical hurt. Avoid aerials in social dancing: keep them for the jams, the shows or the competitions! Generally, smaller moves are recommended in crowded dancefloors. Trust us, tiny rock steps can look great too. Of course, accidents can happen, so if you’re responsible, apologize and check that people are ok.

…is inclusive and kind, safe from harm. Everyone is welcome on the dancefloor, regardless of age, physical aspect, dance skills, political views. So avoid inappropriate comments about other people's clothes, dance style, etc. Avoid inappropriate physical contacts on others, by forcing to be close to each other, by touching intimate body parts, etc. Generally, be kind and attentive to your dance partner.
