Code of conduct

At Myotragus Swing Festival, we promote an inclusive and respectful environment.

If you witness any behaviour that makes you uncomfortable or should be brought to our attention, you can refer to our designated volunteers. You can recognize them from the purple wristband they’ll be wearing.

 

Here are some rules and suggestions to ensure the festival is a safe and enjoyable space for all:

 

• Dancers of all levels are welcome! Whether you’ve just started moving your first swing steps or are a true pro, please make sure everyone feels included, and share the joy of dancing!

• If you’d like to dance with someone, take the initiative and invite them politely.
  Remember: everyone has the right to say no to a dance for whatever reason. Don’t take it personally and be gracious.

• Dance with a smile, and always thank your dance partner at the end of a song.

• The dancefloor is for dancing! No food or drinks on the dancefloor, and please remember to stand to the side whenever you’re not dancing, to leave room for your fellow dancers and avoid potential injuries.

• Be mindful of others on the dancefloor: make sure there’s enough room around you before each stretch or swing out! If you bump into someone, be polite and apologise.

• Dance parties and socials are for having fun! Offer suggestions and constructive critique *only* if your dance partner specifically asks you to.

• Remember: fresh mints, deodorant, and an extra t-shirt or two are always a good idea!
