About Inclusion

About the Team | About Ballroom | About Our Coaches | About YCN Points | About Inclusion

MIT strives to provide an actively all-inclusive, supportive environment for everyone, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, sex, religion, nationality, disability, political orientation, age, national or ethnic origin and/or race (collectively, the “protected classes”). As a result, MIT Ballroom Dance Team (MITBDT) welcomes all dancers and expects everyone to treat each other with respect, regardless of age, ability, physical appearance, lifestyle, dance experience, or dance role.

To that end, MITBDT reserves the right to take action against any person whose conduct is contrary to this environment of inclusiveness. Using our discretion, any dancer that we reasonably determine has violated MIT’s non-discrimination policy in the treatment of any other dancer in any way, may be permanently banned from participation in MITBDT activities. Potentially actionable conduct may include, but is not limited to:

  • Verbal insults, jokes, comments, or micro-aggressions that leaves another dancer feeling marginalized based on their status as a member of a protected class.
  • Sexually inappropriate, coercive, or manipulative conduct that overtly or covertly circumvents the other person’s right to consent. This includes unwanted sexual touching on the dance floor, as well as coercive and inappropriate behaviors during a dance or dance event.

Any dancer who feels that their safety or comfort is being threatened, or has witnessed intimidating or inappropriate behavior, is encouraged to contact the MITBDT officers at mitbdt-exec-private@mit.edu or the MIT Violence Prevention and Response Hotline (617-253-2300), or seek further assistance in reporting or resources available to the MIT community: https://titleix.mit.edu/.
