SAVOY SWING CLUB SAFER SPACES POLICY & CODE OF CONDUCT
We as the board members of the Savoy Swing Club endeavor to create as safe a space as possible for both our members and attendees of Savoy events. We celebrate the differences amongst our members and attendees of Savoy events and have a zero tolerance policy for discrimination and harassment, including, but not limited to, the basis of: race, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, socio-economic status (class), ability, age, mental health, education size, or any perceived identity.
The Savoy Swing Club reserves the right to remove anyone for violating our safer spaces policy & code of conduct. Any concerns can be brought to the Savoy Swing Club board members, officers, representatives, or Safety Committee for review and further action if necessary.
Social dancing is a wonderful way to meet a variety of people. We absolutely encourage friendly socializing but any predatory behavior will be addressed immediately.
Refrain from aerials during any Savoy Swing Club social dances to prevent physical injuries. Establish verbal consent before dipping yourself or your partner.
Unless otherwise specified, Savoy Swing Club events are all-ages and alcohol-free. Savoy Swing Club events are smoke- and vape-free. If you believe someone is unsafely intoxicated, alert a board member immediately. Supplying alcohol or substances to a minor is illegal and often plays a role in harassment or assault; this is not tolerated and will result in expulsion from our events.
