Our dance floor etiquette encourages dancers to be mindful of their surroundings and prioritize safety. We emphasize respecting other dancers by avoiding reckless moves that could endanger anyone on the floor. It’s essential to adapt your dancing style to the available space and refrain from performing swing dance tricks like aerials and drops, which are best saved for jam circles and performances. Remember, no dips without prior consent, and always comply with venue rules to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. Please see our code of conduct to learn more about dance floor etiquette and other safety rules.

Just make sure you are wearing clothing you will be comfortable dancing in! We also recommend you wear shoes that stick to your feet aka no sandals or flip flops that may fall off while you dance. Occasionally we host dances that are themed (Halloween, 20s, 30s, etc) but we don’t require anyone to dress up if they don’t want to.
