Purpose

Why this exists

DF Dance Studio is dedicated to providing a welcoming, safe, and enjoyable environment for all. This Code of Conduct sets clear expectations so everyone can learn, improve, and have fun—together.

1) Respect & Courtesy

How we keep DF friendly, professional, and fun.

Be Kind

How we treat each other

Treat students, staff, and guests with dignity—regardless of skill level, background, or identity.
Use respectful language. Crude, demeaning, or sexually suggestive comments are not tolerated.
Respect personal space and boundaries on and off the dance floor.

In Class

Class culture expectations

If rotation is part of class, be open to dancing with different partners.
Unsolicited teaching/correcting other students during class is discouraged—let instructors teach.
Offer feedback only when asked, and keep it constructive.

2) Physical Contact & Consent

Consent-first dancing: clear connection, respectful boundaries, and safety for everyone.

Consent

Your right to choose

You can decline a dance or request a partner change at any time—no explanation required.
If someone asks you to adjust contact or grip, respond respectfully and immediately.
When unsure about appropriate contact, ask an instructor.

Appropriate Contact

Keep it dance-appropriate

Contact must match what’s being taught and what the instructor demonstrates.
Hands should stay in correct dance positions as instructed.
Unwanted touching or any inappropriate physical contact is strictly prohibited.

Quick tip: what to do if something feels off

Step away, switch partners, and tell an instructor or the front desk as soon as you can. Your comfort and safety come first.

3) Hygiene & Studio Etiquette

Small habits that make partner dancing comfortable and the studio clean.

Hygiene

Respect your partners

Clean attire, deodorant, and fresh breath are appreciated (and expected).
Bring water—dance is athletic.
If you’re sick, please rest and return when you’re well.

Floor & Space

Studio rules that protect the floor

Use appropriate dance footwear. Avoid street shoes on studio floors.
Keep belongings in designated areas. DF is not responsible for lost items.
Food/drinks (other than water in closed containers) are not allowed on the dance floor.
Late arrivals may not be admitted (for safety and class flow).

4) Prohibited Behavior

These behaviors may result in immediate removal from the studio and/or further action.

Not allowed at DF

We take safety and community seriously. The list below is not “exhaustive”—if it creates an unsafe or hostile environment, it’s not okay.

Sexual harassment (comments, advances, or unwanted physical contact).
Bullying, intimidation, threats, or physical aggression.
Discrimination or harassment based on protected characteristics.
Attending classes or events while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Damaging studio property or the personal property of others.
