Bachata Movement Code of Conduct

At Bachata Movement, we believe that dance should be joyful, respectful, and welcoming for everyone. Whether you're joining us for a class, social, party, or engaging in our community WhatsApp groups, we ask all participants to help us create a safe, kind, and inclusive space.

By attending any Bachata Movement activity you agree to follow this Code of Conduct.

Respect on and off the Dance Floor

Consent is key. Always ask before initiating a dance and respect a “no” without question or pressure. You can decline or end a dance at any time—no explanation needed.

Physical boundaries matter. Be mindful of your partner’s comfort and personal space. If you're unsure whether a move or hold is appropriate, avoid it and seek clarity from an instructor.

Cleanliness and hygiene are essential. Please come to class or socials fresh and considerate of close-contact dancing.

Kindness always. Be patient and supportive, whether you're dancing with a beginner or advanced dancer. No unsolicited teaching during socials.

Behavior at Classes, Parties & Events

Respect the venue, instructors, and team. Follow guidance from staff and treat the space as if it were your own.

No harassment, discrimination, or bullying will be tolerated. This includes (but isn’t limited to) offensive language, unwanted physical contact, intimidation, or exclusion based on race, gender, sexual orientation, body size, ability, or background.

If you see something, say something. If you witness behavior that doesn't align with this Code, we encourage you to speak to a team member or report it anonymously.

WhatsApp & Online Community Guidelines

Our WhatsApp groups are here to keep the community connected, informed, and inspired. To keep things respectful and valuable for everyone:

Be kind, helpful, and inclusive. Treat everyone as you would in person.

Keep it relevant. Use group chats for Bachata-related topics and event sharing. Avoid spam, unrelated promotions, or excessive self-promotion.

No inappropriate or offensive content. This includes memes, images, or jokes that could make others uncomfortable.

Respect privacy. Don’t share personal information, screenshots, or group content outside the group without permission.

Reporting Concerns

If you ever feel unsafe, disrespected, or uncomfortable at a Bachata Movement event or in one of our community spaces, please don’t hesitate to tell us.

You can report an incident anonymously through our
👉 Anonymous Reporting Form

Your voice matters, and we are committed to listening and taking appropriate action to protect our community.

Thank You

Thank you for helping us build a community based on connection, respect, and good vibes. Dance is more than movement—it's about trust, expression, and shared joy.

Let’s keep Bachata Movement a space where everyone feels at home on the dance floor.
