Safety Principles in Dance

Ensuring a Secure Environment for All Dancers

Orientation to the space: before each session, guide participants through the room to familiarise them with layout, distances and key features.
Obstacle-free environment: keep the dance area clear and consistent; remove furniture, cords or other hazards.
Communication of changes: any modifications in the space or setup must be clearly explained beforehand.
Continuous supervision: ensure staff or assistants are available throughout the session to provide guidance and immediate support if needed.
Use of tactile and auditory cues: incorporate floor markings, handrails or sound signals to enhance spatial awareness.
