We collect information in several ways to provide you with the best experience when exploring our social dance events and gatherings. When you register for events, we collect your name, email address, phone number, and age verification information.

We may use your contact information to respond to inquiries, provide customer support, and notify you about policy changes or important updates. We never sell your personal information to third parties.
