Community Standards

Respect on the Dance Floor

  • Every dancer deserves to feel safe and comfortable. Always ask before changing an embrace, be mindful of your partner's boundaries, and accept a declined dance graciously — no explanations are owed.

Consent & Physical Boundaries

  • Tango is a close-contact dance. That closeness is a privilege, not a right. Pay attention to your partner's comfort at all times, and never adjust, pull, or lead in a way that feels forceful or unwanted.

Inclusive Community

  • We welcome dancers of all backgrounds, identities, skill levels, and origins. Discrimination, harassment, or exclusionary behavior of any kind will not be tolerated.

Sportsmanship & Ego

  • Leave competition at the door. This is a social dance event. Unsolicited feedback, corrections on the floor, or condescending behavior toward other dancers is not welcome here.

Personal Conduct

  • Treat fellow dancers, organizers, and venue staff with kindness and courtesy at all times — on and off the dance floor.

Reporting

  • If you experience or witness behavior that makes you or others feel unsafe, please speak to an organizer immediately. All concerns will be taken seriously and handled with discretion.

PSA: We are all responsible for the culture we create together. Thank you for helping make this a space where everyone can dance freely and joyfully.
