Other important things to enjoy the festival and keep a good energy

Enjoy the festival respecting the others.

  • Always ask for the consense.

  • Be prepared to accept a no without taking it personally.

  • Respect the dance and expression of others without assuming hidden meanings: if you have any doubt ask and communicate.

  • Be confident to communicate your bounderies.

  • If you experience uncomfortable behavior or see other people in discomfort, inform the staff or a volunteer.

  • Respect other people's spaces figuratively and physically: are you sure you have enough space for that caminhada with sacada? Maybe a trava is enough to avoid kicks and elbows to other couples ;)

  • Please, attend workshops appropriate to your level of dance: this too is synonymous with respect! Attending classes at a higher level than yours will probably not teach you anything, but it will definitely disturb other participants and teachers.

  • Pay attention to your personal hygiene: shower, deodorant, oral hygiene, extra t-shirt and clothes are not questionable!

That's all, folk!

Bring your pass and your smile at the entrance and enjoy the festival!​
We thank you so much for your trust and for coming to make this event special with us!
We look forward to meeting and dancing with you!
