Creating Safe Dance Spaces Together

Safe in the Groove is an initiative dedicated to supporting safer, more respectful, and more inclusive environments in music and dance communities.

Blues and many social dances are rooted in traditions of expression, dignity, and community care. Inspired by these cultural foundations, Safe in the Groove provides resources and trainings to help communities build spaces where people can participate, connect, and express themselves with respect and confidence.

Our work focuses on practical tools for dance communities, including safer space trainings, guidance on consent culture and boundaries, and support for developing Codes of Conduct.

Creating safer spaces is a collective effort. While we aim to foster welcoming and supportive environments, harmful behaviors such as harassment, discrimination, or abuse have no place in our dance spaces.

Because when people feel respected and safe, the groove becomes stronger for everyone.
