★ Dance Temple Guidelines

*SHIRTS ON PLEASE*
Please keep your shirt on, regardless of your gender
* IF YOU INTEND TO SWEAT *
Taking a shower before you arrive
Bringing a towel to wipe up any wake you leave behind
*SCENT-FREE SPACE*
Please refrain from wearing anything scented in the space (including essential oils)
* CELL PHONE USE *
We request a 'no cell phone use' policy in the dance space.
If you need to use your device, there is lots of space in the hallways or outdoors to use your phone.
* DANCING & CONSENT *
Enjoy your own personal dance or spark up creative movement with others, if there is mutual agreement. If you wish to dance with another, tune into their body language that will clearly give you a 'yes' or 'no'. Respect that a person's willingness to dance can change from moment to moment. At any time you, or the person you are dancing with, may choose to end the encounter by moving away, or bowing with hands in prayer.
* TALKING *
The dance floor is a no-talking zone. This is again done to remove any distractions and to allow for dropping in more fully. If you need to have a conversation, however brief, please step out into the hallway or go outside.
If you witness a conversation happening, you are welcome to gently remind people of this request (with a gesture).
* KIDS *
Parents are asked to kindly monitor their kids and keep them close (at arm's reach). Please support us with requesting your children be mindful of their voices during opening and closing.
*FOOTWEAR*
Please go barefoot or wear only indoor shoes or sneakers in the dance space. *REFUNDS* If for any reason you cannot come due to illness, we can give you a guest pass for a future event, please contact organizer to request a guest pass.
