DECLARATION OF SAFE SPACE

The Nashville Salsa Congress/Nashville Dance Congress is dedicated to providing a safe and comfortable event experience for everyone, regardless of gender, age, sexual orientation, ability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion (or lack thereof). We do not tolerate harassment of event participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery in social situations is not appropriate for any event venue, including dances, workshops, competitions, Twitter, Facebook, and other online media. Event participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the event without a refund at the discretion of the Nashville Dance Congress Board Members or Event Organizers.

CODE OF CONDUCT IN DETAIL

No forms of harassment will be tolerated. Harassment includes offensive verbal comments (related to gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, OR religion), sexual images in public spaces, 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 methods above. 

Event staff will be happy to help participants contact the Safety Staffer, Nashville Dance Congress Board Members, Event 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. 

We expect all participants to follow these rules at any Nashville Dance Congress dance venues.

BEING A GOOD DANCE EVENT ATTENDEE

Please, allow the instructor to instruct the class and direct your questions to the instructor.  Even if you know the answer, please save your advice for inquisitive learners for after the class.  In other words, please do not offer unsolicited advice to fellow dancers in class. 

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.   If you happen to bump into someone, please be nice and say “Excuse me” or “Pardon me” or “I’m sorry.”

Please be respectful to both event staff and volunteer 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. 

PLEASE, contact someone if you need help.

BE SAFE AND ENJOY!
