CODE OF CONDUCT:
- Although this is an alternative event, we do still encourage the use of the tango codigos, *especially* regarding entering/exiting the dancefloor, respecting the line of dance, and dancing in a way that respects the space and safety of your partner and those around you. If for any reason you need to exit a dance for your own safety or comfort, saying "thank you" should be respected as an ending to the dance without argument or caveat.
- We know that alternative music can sometimes inspire us to larger movements, so for everyone's shared safety *please* keep your ganchos and boleos contained, and **absolutely no lifts on the social floor**. (Even if you know you can do them safely, others may see you doing them and attempt movements that aren't safe for them or their partners.)
- We strive to create a truly welcoming & heartfelt space. If you feel that someone is behaving in a way that compromises your ability to feel safe & comfortable, *please* let your hosts know immediately. We reserve the right to politely unwelcome anyone we feel is compromising the safety & integrity of the event.
We welcome beginners, although we recommend that folks have some experience with tango before attending. Questions? Please come find your friendly hosts! We'll be available to explain the codigos and other conventions of the social tango if you would like to learn more about them.
