Our commitment

Respect, safety and care for each other

At Bachata Czech Republic Festival, we are committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and respectful space for everyone.

We believe that everyone should be able to enjoy the festival, express themselves through dance, and connect with others in an environment where they feel comfortable and respected.

Creating that environment is a shared responsibility. Let’s do it together.

The room we dance in

01Diversity & inclusion

Bachata Czech Republic Festival celebrates diversity and is open to everyone, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, physical condition, appearance, or religious beliefs.

Discrimination, harassment, intimidation, or disrespectful behaviour of any kind will not be tolerated.

Everyone deserves to feel welcome and respected at BCR.

02Dance role freedom

Each attendee is free to participate in the event in any role they prefer.

Leader
Follower
Role Rotator

All participants are expected to respect each other’s choices without questioning, judging, or pressuring them.

04Sexual harassment policy

We have a strict zero‑tolerance approach to harassment, misconduct, or inappropriate behaviour.

Harassment includes, but is not limited to

  • Unwanted touching or groping.
  • Using dance as an excuse for intimate contact without consent.
  • Making sexual comments or suggestive remarks during a dance.
  • Pressuring someone to continue dancing after they have shown discomfort.
  • Filming or photographing someone in a sexually suggestive way without their consent.
  • Making unsolicited comments, questions, or jokes about someone’s body.

These are examples, not an exhaustive list. Any behaviour that disrespects a dancer’s boundaries or creates a sense of discomfort, intimidation, or violation may be considered harassment.
