CODE OF CONDUCT

The Snowball Code of Conduct

At The Snowball we have a set of core values that we believe in. To make sure everyone has a good time, we've put these values into a Code of Conduct. It's a simple guide that tells you how we do things here and what we expect from you.

We're all about fairness and respect. We absolutely do not accept any form of harassment, discrimination, psychological, physical or sexual. That means no treating anyone differently because of their sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, where they come from, gender identity, religion, ability, age or physical appearance, we're all equal here.

This Code of Conduct applies to everyone at the camp, including teachers, organizers, staff, volunteers, artists, vendors, sponsors, collaborators, and the people who just come to visit. If you want to be part of the Snowball, you need to agree to follow these rules. We're serious about this, and we'll make sure everyone sticks to the Code of Conduct throughout the camp, from the moment we set up to the time we pack up.
We want everyone to feel safe and have an fantastic experience, so please cooperate and help us make it great for all.

If you experience any unpleasant situation or witness harassment of any kind, we want to hear about it. Please bring your concerns to any member of The Snowball crew—Kenneth, Helena, Henric, Joanna—or to any of our Snowball staff who will be able to guide you on what steps to take and who to contact. You can also send an e-mail to info@thesnowball.se

The hotel reception is open 24/7 and is also available to provide support and assistance, including contacting the police or an ambulance if necessary.

As event organizers, we reserve the right to take any action we deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expelling them from the event without a refund.

GUIDELINES

The Snowball Guidelines

To help create a fun, safe, and welcoming atmosphere for everyone, here are a few simple guidelines to keep in mind during social dancing:

Ask for dances politely, Eye contact, smile, a simple “Would you like to dance?”
Respect others’ bodies and personal boundaries—keep touch appropriate to the dance and be mindful of your partner’s comfort at all times
Never assume a dance role—ask your partner which role they’d like to take
It’s perfectly fine to ask for a second dance, but there’s no obligation
Respect “no” without pressure or asking why
Keep hygiene in mind, clean clothes, deodorant, fresh breath
No teaching unless asked, avoid correcting during social dancing
Be inclusive and welcoming, dance with different people, and with people on different levels
No aerials or dips unless both partners have agreed in advance—this also applies in competitions. Aerials and dips are not permitted on the social dance floor
End dances kindly, thank your partner

Let’s stay aware, take care of one another, and keep the dance floor fun and welcoming for all!
