We Have Joined The Safe Space Alliance!
We have thrilling news to share with our dance community: our studio is now officially part of the Safe Space Alliance! 🎉
This milestone is more than just an accolade; it underscores our unwavering commitment to creating a nurturing, inclusive environment where every dancer can flourish.
Why This Partnership Matters
Joining the Safe Space Alliance is pivotal in enhancing our dedication to inclusivity and safety.
The Safe Space Alliance is an LGBTQI+ led nonprofit organization that helps people identify, navigate, and create safe spaces for LGBTQI+ communities worldwide. Our two core activities include maintaining an online directory of spaces around the world that welcome and support LGBTQI+ communities and helping LGBTQI+ people get to safety. By aligning ourselves with this esteemed organization, we’re reinforcing our promise to uphold these high standards in every aspect of our studio’s culture.
What This Means for Our Community
Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or just embarking on your dance journey, this partnership directly benefits you. Here’s how:
A Safe Haven: Our studio is committed to being a space where everyone feels secure. This partnership bolsters our dedication to providing a sanctuary where you can freely express yourself without worrying about discrimination or harassment.
Celebration of Individuality: We believe dance is a personal journey that should be celebrated. Our inclusion in the Safe Space Alliance reflects our belief in honouring and supporting each dancer’s unique identity and self-expression.
Enhanced Support: Membership in the Alliance gives us access to additional resources and training. This allows us to continually improve our practices and ensure that our space remains as inclusive and supportive as possible.
How We’re Reinforcing Our Commitment
Our dedication to maintaining a safe and inclusive environment is more than a mission statement—it’s a daily practice. Here’s how we’re living up to this commitment:
Ongoing Training: Our staff regularly participates in training programs to stay well-informed about best practices for inclusivity and support.
Open Communication: We encourage open dialogue with our dancers and their families. Your feedback is essential in helping us continually enhance our safe space.
Community Engagement: We actively engage with community initiatives and support groups to stay updated on best practices and contribute to a broader culture of inclusion.
Here at Dance Fusion Studios (DFS), we believe every body can dance - and every body deserves respect and a safe space. We value every dancer, regardless of race, sexuality, gender, size, age, or religion, and we commit to listening and learning from people who have different experiences from our own.
