Safety at Danzivo

Meeting Someone for the First Time

If you're meeting another member through Danzivo, we recommend that you:

• Meet in a public location, such as a dance studio or café.
• Attend organised dance events whenever possible.
• Let a friend or family member know where you'll be.
• Arrange your own transport to and from the venue.
• Trust your instincts. If something doesn't feel right, leave the situation.

You should never feel pressured to continue a conversation, lesson or practice session if you are uncomfortable.

Respect and Consent

Social dancing involves physical interaction, but respect and consent always come first.

All members should:

• Respect personal boundaries.
• Accept "no" gracefully.
• Ask before attempting unfamiliar or close-contact movements outside a dance context.
• Communicate respectfully at all times.

Harassment, intimidation or unwanted physical contact has no place in our community.

• Use Danzivo's communication features where available before sharing personal contact details.

• Maintain respectful and inclusive spaces.
• Clearly communicate event expectations.
• Respond professionally to enquiries.
• Address inappropriate behaviour promptly.
• Promote a culture of mutual respect.
