<h1>MIT Dance Policy</h1>
<p>MIT strives to provide an actively all-inclusive, supportive environment for everyone, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, sex, religion, nationality, disability, political orientation, age, national or ethnic origin and/or
race (Collectively, the “protected classes”). As a result, MIT Lindy Hop welcomes all dancers and expects everyone to treat each other with respect, regardless of age, ability, physical appearance, lifestyle, dance experience or dance role.<br>
To that end, MIT Lindy Hop Society reserves the right to take action against any person whose conduct is contrary to this environment of inclusiveness. Using our discretion, any dancer that we reasonably determine has violated MIT’s non-discrimination policy
in the treatment of any other dancer in any way, may be permanently banned from participation in MIT Lindy Hop Society activities. Potentially actionable conduct may include, but is not limited to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Verbal insults, jokes, comments, or micro-aggressions that leaves another dancer feeling marginalized based on their status as a member of a protected class.</li><li>Sexually inappropriate, coercive, or manipulative conduct that overtly or covertly circumvents the other person’s right to consent. This includes unwanted sexual touching on the dance floor, as well as coercive and inappropriate behaviors during a dance
or dance event.</li></ul>
<p>Any dancer who feels that their safety or comfort is being threatened, or has witnessed intimidating or inappropriate behavior is encouraged to contact the MIT Lindy Hop officers (<a href="mailto:lindy-society-officers@mit.edu" target="_blank">lindy-society-officers@mit.edu</a>)
or the MIT Violence Prevention and Response Hotline (617- 253-2300), or seek further assistance in reporting or resources available to the MIT community: <a href="https://titleix.mit.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://titleix.mit.edu/</a>.</p>
