​Ethos

We're a community dance event organised by queers, for queers.
We aim to:

1. Provide local LGBTQIA+ folk and allies with a space to dance and connect in a non-judgemental atmosphere.
2. Promote a diverse range of artists from Manchester and across the UK, each chosen for their musical dexterity
   and contribution to the underground scene.
3. Always be for charity and never for profit. 100% of any surplus funds from ticket sales will always be donated
   to an LGBTQIA+ charity.

Safer space policy

We want everyone that comes to our party to feel safe and free to enjoy themselves. Although no space is ever
truly safe, we want to make sure our attendees can express themselves without consequence. All ticket holders to
our events must agree to follow the below:

1. BENT and the DBA will not tolerate any form of harassment. Homophobia, transphobia, racism, ableism, ageism or
   prejudice based on ethnicity, gender presentation, sexuality, class, language ability, asylum status, or
   religious affiliation will result in immediate removal from the venue.
   
2. Be aware of your privileges before entering the venue. This is a space that prioritises minorities and their
   safety, so if you are in a position of privilege be mindful that you are in a space that celebrates this level
   of inclusion.
   
3. Try not to make assumptions about people’s identity or pronouns. Use they/them or politely ask if you’re unsure.
   
4. Please drink and party responsibly. Anybody putting the safety of others or themselves at risk will be asked to
   leave. This includes respecting the personal space and boundaries of others.
   

If you feel that you cannot follow the above, we respectfully ask that you don’t purchase a ticket.
