Code of Conduct

People attending Savoy Dance classes and events deserve to feel safe, respected and valued at all times.

​

We welcome dancers of any gender dancing as a lead or follow and we celebrate cultural diversity. We encourage you to ask a stranger to dance, but put no obligation on dancers to accept a dance. Please decline respectfully and always consider the feelings of others on the floor.

​

There will be no tolerance for any physical, verbal, sexual or cultural harassment on the dance floor, in class or at any other time during any event.

​

For everyone’s safety please refrain from any aerials or lifts on the social dance floor, unless a spcial event invites jams and there is adequate space. Please also avoid any uninvited feedback either in class or on the social floor.

​

The teachers and management at Savoy Dance reserve the right to take any action we deem appropriate to resolve any situations brought to our attention during the running of a Savoy Dance event or class, including asking any participant to leave the event without refund.
 

As a participant of our classes and events, you acknowledge that photography may take place and agree that you may appear in photographic content taken during the event which may be used for promotional and/or reporting purposes. You are welcome to respectfully request not to be featured in advance of attending events/classes.​
 

If you feel uncomfortable at any time in class or during social dancing, please make the issue known to Cathie Gough or Adam Smith to talk about your concerns. We commit to keeping any complaint confidential if requested.

​

We wish you a joyful experience attending our classes and welcome feedback at all times as to how we make your dancing experience even more positive.
