[Sara Sheffels]

   - MIT Lindy Hop Society Wednesday Swing Dance
   - Wednesday, January 15, Lesson 7:30, Dancing 9-11:30 p.m.
   - La Sala de Puerto Rico, Student Center <http://whereis.mit.edu/?go=W20>,
   2nd floor
   - Free, Beginners welcome, No partner necessary
   - DJs Tim Manning and Omari Hayles

At 7:30 before the dance, Avery and Galen will teach a lesson on West Coast
Swing.

After the lesson, the DJ may play a few West Coast Swing songs, but
otherwise the DJ sets will probably be mostly music for East Coast Swing
and Lindy Hop.  (This is a change from last semester.)

Would anyone like to teach a future lesson?  Share your love of dance!

Help setting up the dance is super appreciated!  Come at 7 before the
lesson starts.

MIT Dance Policy

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.
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:

   - Verbal insults, jokes, comments, or micro-aggressions that leaves
   another dancer feeling marginalized based on their status as a member of a
   protected class.
   - 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.

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 (lindy-society-officers at mit.edu) or the
MIT Violence Prevention and Response Hotline (617- 253-2300), or seek
further assistance in reporting or resources available to the MIT
community: https://titleix.mit.edu/.
