VALUES & Guidelines
To make our events as safe & enjoyable as possible, we kindly ask that you embody & respect our values & guidelines.
be
clear
We are a sober event. Arrive clear in heart & body. The dance is the medicine.
be TIDY
Help keep the lobby and dance space organized and free of obstacles. Neatly deposit your shoes and jackets in the designated area of the lobby only and mindfully store small valuables and closed water bottles in the designated area in the dance hall only.
be consensual
We value choice. Get a clear yes before involving others in your dance.
be
INCLUSIVE
This is a safe space where all humans can come practice, pray, and play. Embody a universal perspective that is inclusive to all. All colors, ethnicities, sizes, ages, abilities, sexualities, genders, & religions are welcome.
be PUNCTUAL
We realize that mornings don’t always go as planned, but we kindly ask that you arrive between 10:10-10:20am to check in and get seated for our Opening Circle, which starts promptly at 10:30. To preserve our container, anyone not seated on time may be asked to wait in the lobby during our Opening Circle and Connection Exercises and enter the space when the DJ set has begun.
be
BAREFOOT
No shoes in the dance space (unless you need them for medical reasons).
be
present
No talking, cell phones, or videos/photos during the dance. Wild non-verbal sounds are always welcome! Kindly move all conversations—even small ones—to the lobby.
be ACCOUNTABLE
We are a non-profit and depend on every ticket sale to sustain our mission. Please ensure that you purchase a ticket each time you attend EDN. If you arrive late, please fill out the late arrival sheet and follow all printed late arrival instructions on the welcome table.
be ATTENTIVE
We love seeing children jumping, dancing, and exploring movement! Parents are responsible for their child(ren)’s safety as well as their whereabouts & noise level so as to not disrupt other dancers. Small children should be supervised at all times.
