Section 04
4. Gender-neutral dance roles
Dance roles are not determined by gender. Everyone is free to choose whether they want to dance as a leader or a follower.
Section 05
5. Respect and consent with your partner
Dancing involves physical proximity that must always remain respectful. You agree to:
- Seek consent before initiating physical contact.
- Pay attention to your partner’s body language.
- Adjust distance and intensity according to their comfort.
- Avoid forcing movements or figures that were not requested.
Section 06
6. Respect toward other students and the teachers
Respect is essential to maintain a healthy learning environment. Participants commit to:
- Treat all students with respect, regardless of their level.
- Respect the teachers and their teaching methods.
- Understand that each person progresses at their own rhythm.
- Contribute to a positive, motivating and supportive atmosphere.
- Avoid toxic behaviour, negative comments or disruptive actions.
Section 07
7. Zero tolerance for harassment or discrimination
Any form of discriminatory or inappropriate behaviour is strictly prohibited. This includes:
- Racism.
- Sexism.
- Homophobia.
- Transphobia.
- Physical or verbal harassment.
Any incident must be reported immediately to a teacher or to the school at info@lbfdanceschool.lu.
Section 08
8. Classroom behaviour
- No toxic or negative comments.
- No discussions while teachers are explaining.
- Proper hygiene is mandatory.
Disruptive behaviour may result in a warning or exclusion.
Section 09
9. Attendance and commitment
- Arrive on time.
- In case of absence, notify your teachers or write to us at info@lbfdanceschool.lu.
- No spot is guaranteed without payment.
- The group progresses together, not individually.
Section 10
10. Safety and substance use
- The use of drugs before or during class is strictly prohibited.
- Do not drink alcohol before dance classes.
Section 13
13. Partner rotation
Partner rotation is mandatory at every level (A0, A1 and A2), including for students who register as a couple. It is an essential part of the LBF teaching method.
Bachata is a social dance: dancing with different partners develops connection, adaptability and technique, and keeps every group balanced.
Exceptions are possible only for medical or physical reasons. Please speak with the teachers before the class: each request is evaluated individually and must be approved by the teachers.
Students who refuse to rotate may be refused access to the class.
Section 14
14. Certificate of participation and attendance requirement
Students must attend at least 75% of classes during the trimester to be eligible for a certificate of participation.
The certificate recognises attendance and commitment. It does not automatically guarantee progression to the next level, which remains subject to teacher approval.
Our goal is to build a motivated and engaged group where students progress together. Regular attendance is essential to maintain group quality and ensure real learning.
Joining occasionally or attending only a few classes is not aligned with our teaching approach. By registering, you commit to actively participating in the full learning process.
Section 15
