Updated January 2026
Hello and welcome! Please read the policies below before attending my events for the first time.
Sickness Policy
If you have any symptoms of a virus or potentially contagious illness, please stay home and do not risk the health of myself or others by coming out dancing. It is our responsibility to take care of the people around us. Please be kind and responsible and take care of yourself and those in our community.
If we have a class or lesson scheduled, please contact me and we'll reschedule for another time. Thank you!
COVID 19 - Covid is still going around. The long term effects of Covid are still being studied, however long Covid is something that many people have to contend with. For this reason, I think we still need to take EXTRA precautions in the world today. If you know you've recently been in contact with someone that has Covid or you may potentially have Covid, please stay home and do not risk the health of others by coming out dancing. At least for one week after potential exposure.
Code of Conduct
1. This is a safe space where everyone is free to have fun and enjoy themselves in tango. Please be kind, welcoming, and respectful to EVERYONE at the event you're attending.
2. Giving tango advice or corrections to your partner: Please no teaching, my events are not a space for you to hold your own private lessons. If the person you're dancing with asks you for feedback, find a kind and respectful way to discuss your ideas with them. If you want to teach them something, either ask them if they'd like your advice or ask me for help and ideas. If you want someone to give you advice about your dancing, please ask them nicely if they're open to giving you feedback.
Note: Some people who attend my events are also teachers but may not want to give you advice, they may just want to dance and work on their own stuff. Please always be considerate of others and be kind and thoughtful with your thoughts and questions.
3. Consent: If someone asks you to dance and you don't want to dance with them, YOU DON'T HAVE TO. Please find a kind and respectful way of saying no. (It can be "No thank you, maybe later" or simply just "No thank you").
If someone says no to you, that's okay. Please don't take it personally, there are many reasons for saying no to a dance and they're all acceptable. A person's feet be hurt, they may feel tired, they may enjoy watching the floor at that moment, they may want to sit and listen to the music. Or yes, it's possible that they may not like dancing with you. The person doesn't need to give a reason...ever. It's okay to ask them to dance again later in the evening. If they say no a second time, please leave them alone for the duration of the evening. Let them be the one to approach you the next time.
There is no obligation EVER to dance with anyone. You can leave the dance floor after one song, two songs, three songs or even immediately after saying yes to someone. If someone makes you feel uncomfortable in any way, please report this person to me or one of my helpers.
Please keep in mind that striking up a conversation with someone does not mean you're obligated to dance with each other.
4. Masks If someone is wearing a mask and asks you to dance, in order to be respectful to them (remember we don't know why they've chosen to wear their mask), please consider offering to wear a mask as well, in order to help them feel more comfortable.
5. If you are visibly drunk or under the influence of a substance that is altering your ability to dance or behave in a polite manner, you will be asked to leave my event.
6. If there are active allegations against you in regards to abuse or sexual misconduct, please don't attend my events. If you'd like to contact me to explain your situation in an effort to be allowed to attend, you are welcome to. I reserve the right to ask you not to attend if I decide you are a risk to the people in my community.
7. This is meant to be a safe space for everyone so these rules apply to all. If you refuse to abide by the above policies, if there are people that come forward who are concerned or complain about your behavior to me or any of my helpers, if your behavior is disrespectful or makes the community or anyone present including myself uncomfortable, I reserve the right to ask you to leave or ask you not to attend my event.
My Intentions
As humans and as a community I think we need to dance and be together. And during these times when Covid and massive political differences are an ongoing part of life, I think we still need to dance, love, build community, and feel comfortable doing so. Let's continue to help and support each other in this joint venture.
None of us have to feel alone and at the very least, there will be a space open for you and for us to dance and be together as long as we continue to create this space together and for each other.
A Little More About Cost
"Sliding scale" means please pay what you feel comfortable with. There are people that are strapped for cash, there are people who simply don't feel like spending much money, I get it and if that's you I'd like you to attend anyway.
Additionally, if you have some extra tango money in your pocket and you want to donate it to a good cause, please feel free! We'll consider it a "donation to help Hannah as she realizes her life goals" fund. :)
Please remember that as a teacher and event organizer, I have expenses. Everything you see as part of the event, including the space, the music I use to to DJ, and additional teachers are all items I pay for out of the funds received for the events I hold.
Thank you for reading!
