【Behavioral Code】How we thinkThis community welcomes "anyone" to participate, regardless of gender, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, age, appearance, and religious beliefs.
This community does not accept or tolerate racism, homophobia, transphobia, gender discrimination, misogyny, or similar beliefs. "Gender/sexual orientation" is not related to "dance roles (Leader/Follower)."How to inviteDo not presume others' "dance roles"; when inviting someone to dance, ask the person which role they prefer (Leader/Follower/Switch), and express your own preferred role clearly if desired.
When inviting someone to dance, obtain verbal consent; everyone has the right to refuse an invitation to dance, and there are countless reasons for refusal, which should not be taken personally!
Find another dancer to enjoy dancing together.How to danceDo not engage in risky movements (collisions, shoving, or high-risk actions such as aerials) while dancing, unless you have obtained explicit consent or confirmed with your partner that the intended actions and behaviors are agreed upon.
If you have concerns about the distance between two bodies or the strength of connection, ask your dance partner directly. Pay attention to the surrounding environment while dancing; in the event of a collision with other dancers, apologize and confirm the situation actively. During dancing, always be aware of your partner's condition; if your partner shows discomfort through body language (such as stiffness or hesitation) or explicitly expresses discomfort "due to dancing," stop dancing and give the person space; do not demand an explanation for the discomfort.
If you feel uncomfortable during dancing, you can directly communicate with your partner and have the right to request that they stop their behavior, or you can choose to leave without providing any explanation; of course, you are welcome to seek assistance from us! Before providing feedback to a dance partner, ask if they are willing to receive feedback and be mindful of your choice of words.
