CULTURE OF CARE

Who We Serve: 
This is a  21+, alcohol-free, consent-centric, LGBTQIA2S+ friendly, BIPOC friendly, social empathy event. Please be tolerant and kind to others in this space. 

Consent Etiquette: 
We welcome the intentions of anyone who wishes to tune into themselves and others in a container designed for relaxing, dancing, and pampering. Ask before touching anybody. Ask before close embrace. Ask before dips. Ask before cuddling, massage, hairplay, or anything else you don’t have verbal permission for. If you desire to do anything beyond dancing with anybody, you need to use your words. If you aren’t sure if something is permitted in the space, ask a staff member. 

Vetting & Discomfort Policies: 
Our vetting is open to first timers and dynamically updated onsite. We have a simple discomfort policy. Any person whose onsite behavior make others uncomfortable may be coached in a friendly way, notified, warned, or asked to leave (with a refund if they comply politely). Please tell a staff member if anyone's onsite behavior feels uncomfortable to you so we can assess the situation. Repeated or serious conflicts from onsite behaviors may require classes, coaching, or a third party assessment before re-entry is allowed. Thanks for keeping this a safer space!

All The Legal Things (You Must Click "I Agree" Below):

Liability Waiver:
I agree that I am responsible for my own emotional and physical wellbeing and behaviors at this event and I release Daniel Oliver and the event's venue, producers, organizers, instructors, guest contractors, performers, staff, volunteers, marketers, promoters, and attendees from all liabilities for harms or personal injuries incurred as a result of my participation.

Public Health Release:
I agree and understand that the liability waiver I agreed to above also includes COVID-19 and all other communicable diseases.

Photo & Video Release:
I agree not to record, video, or photo other people unless authorized by Daniel Oliver. I agree that a photographer may take photos of me and check in with me for consent for those photos to be used in marketing. I agree that a few songs may be dedicated to memory / photography making for marketing. These content creation sessions will be announced, and I can hide myself from view in the tea or coat area when this happens to opt out. 

No Solicitations Policy: 
I agree and understand this event was made possible through sponsorships and partnerships with other people and businesses in the community and I will not solicit attendees for anything other than providing therapeutic/healing services. If I want my own events to be promoted by MELT I will email Daniel Oliver using fusiondancesorg@gmail.com for sponsor/partner information. 

Data & Privacy Policy: 
We will send you email invites to our events that you can unsubscribe from at any time. We may also text you a pre-event reminder and post-event feedback form. The ticketing system(s) we use may have their own marketing that it sends out as well. 

Vetting System For This Semi-Open Event:
This is a semi-open event, which we feel will help welcome newcomers to the community. This means we won't be vetting attendees, unless they have documented disqualifying behaviors from incidents onsite at our events without completing follow-up training, therapy, and/or coaching required for restored access. However, acknowledging the vulnerabilities of this publicly open event, you may be asked to leave at any time if anyone onsite says they're uncomfortable with your behavior onsite. We will assess the situation and make a decision. In that case, you're welcome to request a full refund if you leave calmly and promptly. Future events we produce *might* have a privately vetted format. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone and we can make exceptions to this policy and disallow you to attend by notifying you either before or during the event. Please note that restricted or revoked access to this event may not come with an explanation, in order to protect the privacy and legal vulnerabilities of the event and those who wish to attend. By agreeing below, I understand and consent to the access protocols of this event, I will not assume that anybody in attendance has been vetted by anyone else, and I will not assume anyone's social status or friendships among attendees present is a reliable indicator of their safety as a person at the event, and even more so outside of the event, and especially when alone, or in romantic or other vulnerable contexts.
 *
I believe feedback is worth hearing and I will receive feedback and give feedback to others to help my community grow. I will strive to have empathy for others and strive to not get defensive. *
Yes please use photos of me in the foreground to help promote future events in all the ways you can!  *
Do you want to be added to our email invites? *
A copy of your responses will be emailed to the address you provided.
