  • Organizer does not take any responsibility for participants' valuables, assets, or physical injuries.
  • There is a risk of physical injuries during dance activities. It is the participants' responsibility and decision to do any dance activity during the event. Do your best to be careful ‒ for yourself and for the others as well!
  • Underaged participants (under 18 years old) have to have a legal guardian after midnight to be allowed to stay at the event. Please give us your legal guardian's name when you check in.

Photos, Videos and Quotes

  • With your registration, you give the event organizer permission to take photos, videos and audio at the event and permission to use such material for event marketing.
  • You are welcome to take your own photos, audio and video through the event. Please feel free to share them with us and other attendees via Email, or on social media.
  • Full length audio and video recordings of lessons and workshops are not allowed unless granted explicit permission by the event organizer.

Dance Etiquette

  • Even if this event is about switching & stealing, make sure to ask your partner(s) first, before switching roles within one dance or before stealing a partner during a social or workshops!
  • During the “Switch&Steal Madness”, you agree to switching during one dance and to be stolen by someone else, or stealing another partner during their dance. If you do not feel comfortable participating, just join us a bit later or enjoy this part of the social from the bar.
  • Be aware that asking a person for a dance does not mean that they will agree to it. Everybody has their own reasons to decline a dance. Do not take it personally!
