Safer Space Guidelines

  • Drop ins, courses and classes are tied to the season of purchase. They cannot be used in the next upcoming season.
  • Purchased dance cards, drop ins and courses are non-refundable after registering and paying for them. A refund can be considered if a long term sick leave certificate is presented.
  • At our studio we follow safer space rules to make sure everyone can enjoy dance in a safe environment and community. 

Safer Space Guidelines

  • Respect everyone’s personal space, both physical and mental. You cannot know where another person’s boundaries lie without asking them. Make sure you ask before touching anyone. Listen to others and adapt your behaviour if someone indicates that your behaviour makes them feel uncomfortable.
  • Respect everyone, don’t assume things. Don’t make assumptions about other people’s sexuality, gender, nationality, ethnicity, religion, values, socio-economic background, ability or health. Respect pronouns and names. Be aware of your own privileges.
  • No body discrimination. Don’t comment on another person’s body. Also do not comment on other people’s eating and meal sizes.
  • Assume responsibility for your own actions and behaviour. Remember that your actions affect other people, regardless of your good intentions.
  • Give space. Do your best to ensure that everyone gets to participate in discussions. Don’t disregard other people’s opinions; give others the chance to speak. Respect the privacy of others and treat sensitive topics respectfully.
  • Intervene in harassment if you witness it, and ask the person who was harassed whether they would like help or support. Don’t just remain an on-looker.
