Code of Conduct

Fast Feet Friday (FFF) is dedicated to providing a harassment-free environment for everyone regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of anyone in any form. We want to ensure the dance venue is an environment where people feel free from coercion, bigotry, discrimination, and bullying.

Expectations

We will not tolerate any racist, misogynist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, or any other form of discriminatory language. Anyone behaving in this manner may be asked to leave or banned.

FFF does not serve alcohol at our regular events and we ask that you don’t bring any into our events. People who are found to be overly intoxicated or under the influence of something that is causing them to be a danger on the dance floor will be asked to leave.

FFF is not a pick-up venue. Do not make advances towards other dancers and please respect boundaries. Anything other than an enthusiastic yes is a no. Sexual harassment (which refers to unwelcomed sexual advances and may involve sexual pranks, jokes, teasing, gestures, unwanted touching/grabbing, or suggestive conversations)  may be met with a permanent ban from all of our events.

Unless you are asked for feedback, do not offer unsolicited advice to other people.

Aerials are not allowed on the FFF dance floor.

FFF is an inclusive organization in which each member is as valuable as the others. We ask that everyone respectfully share the space and treat others with dignity.

FFF reserves the right to ask any individual to leave the venue at any time, for any reason, to ensure the safety and comfort of the community.
