Code of Conduct - 2024

Scandinavia Shuffle 2023 , a balboa weekend in Copenhagen, Denmark

 

Code of Conduct

The Code of Conduct for the event is the same as the Code of Conduct of WCJ - original text in Swedish here.

There is room for everyone on the dance floor
WCJ is a non-partisan and non-religious association that welcomes all dancers and music lovers regardless of gender, gender expression, ethnic affiliation, religion or other belief, body, sexual orientation, and age.

We take care of each other
At WCJ we want everyone to feel safe, therefore we do not accept harassment. If you harass someone, you will have to leave the premises. Further measures can be exclusion or a police report.

Personal boundaries are important
Respect others' boundaries both socially and in dance. Sometimes it's hard to tell if someone doesn't want to dance and sometimes it's hard to say no to a dance. Be responsive, and if you sense hesitation and are not hearing from the person in question, it is better to take a step back.
At the beginning of the dance, it can, in some cases, be good to agree on how you want to dance so as not to accidentally cross someone's boundaries. For example, you can ask "Do you want to dance close embrace?" or "Are you okay with a dip?".

Don't assume the other person wants to dance more
If you want to do another dance with someone, ask.

You can say no
If someone asks you for a dance or a second dance and you don't want to dance, it's perfectly fine to say no.

Be okay with someone saying no
If you ask for a dance or a second dance and the person doesn't want to, be okay with that. No one is forced to dance with anyone else.

Dance safely
Don't do aerials, lifts, or bigger jumps on the social dance floor - save these for a jam circle or competition where you know you have plenty of room. Always check with each other before doing any of this so that you agree on what to do.
