Studio Policies &
Code-of-Conduct
Our policies are designed to create a safe, respectful, and inclusive learning environment for every student. By dancing at Ignis, you agree to the following policies and code-of-conduct.
Community Code-of-Conduct
Our studio is committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment. By participating in our classes and events, all students agree to:
Respect Boundaries: Honor others’ personal, physical, and social space.
Consent First: Accept “no” as a complete answer; respect others’ choices when asking someone to dance.
Be Inclusive: Welcome dancers of all backgrounds, levels, and identities.
Gender Neutral Roles: Lead and follow roles are open to all. Every dancer may choose their role, and all choices are respected. Avoid assumptions and do your best to use inclusive, non-gendered language when referring to roles.
Refrain from Unsolicited Feedback: Please leave the teaching to the teachers. Nothing feels worse than someone criticizing your dancing (even if you meant it to be helpful!). Only offer corrections if asked; report safety concerns to staff.
Prioritize Safety: Always dance within you and your partner’s abilities and preferences. Obtain clear consent before attempting any dips, tricks, lifts, or other weight-supported moves.
Create a Positive Learning Environment: Follow instructor directions, avoid disrupting others, treat teachers courteously, and help create a positive, focused, and supportive space for all dancers.
Violations may result in removal from class or studio programs. Concerns can be reported directly to staff.

The studio reserves the right to refuse participation if a student’s behavior or condition poses a safety risk.
Shoes must be clean, non-marking, and safe for movement (no stilettos, tap shoes, or other shoes that may damage the floor or present a safety risk)
Respect & Inclusion
Our studio is committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all students, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, identity, background, or ability.
We expect all participants to help foster this culture of inclusivity. Failure to do so can result in removal from class, suspension of enrollment, or dismissal from the studio at our discretion.
