Our Dance Studio: A Safe and Inclusive Space
Dance is about more than just movement. At LVDS, we have built a space in Bangalore where your comfort, safety, and personal growth come first. Whether you are here for fitness or professional training, you are part of our tribe.
Creating a safe space is the foundation of our community. We believe this is crucial for fostering inclusivity, confidence, and mutual respect. Here are the principles we stand by.
Our community guidelines start with clarity. We establish and display rules that promote respect, inclusivity, and consent to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe on the dance floor.
We encourage a culture of consent. Our instructors teach students to always ask before leading complex moves like dips or lifts, and we normalize saying "no" without any pressure or judgment.
We have a zero-tolerance policy for harassment. We strictly prohibit any form of inappropriate behavior or discrimination and have clear procedures for reporting and addressing any issues.
We promote inclusive and safe partnering. Our classes use gender-neutral roles, allowing dancers to choose whether they want to lead, follow, or switch. We operate on preferences, not assumptions.
Our instructors and staff are trained in safe practices. They are equipped to handle conflicts, set boundaries, and intervene when necessary to maintain a secure and positive environment for everyone.
About this collection
Our studios are designed with your safety in mind, featuring professional sprung wooden flooring that absorbs impact to keep your knees and joints healthy during practice. Beyond the physical setup, we maintain a strictly enforced culture of consent and inclusivity, ensuring that whether you come alone or with friends, you always feel respected and welcome on our dance floor.
At LVDS, we believe the environment you learn in is just as important as the steps you master. Since 1998, we have focused on building more than just a dance school; we have built a community.
The Physical Space
We know that dance can be tough on the body, which is why we invested in sprung wooden floors at our Indiranagar and Vasanth Nagar studios. This specialized flooring acts as a shock absorber, significantly reducing the risk of injury during jumps, turns, and long hours of practice. Paired with our high-quality sound systems, it creates a professional setting where you can focus entirely on your movement.
Our Commitment to Safety
Dance is a social activity based on connection, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our 'Space to Thrive' means:
- Consent First: We teach students to ask before leading dips or lifts, and we normalize the right to say no at any time without pressure.
- Inclusivity: We operate on preferences, not assumptions. We use gender-neutral partnering, meaning you choose whether you want to lead, follow, or switch roles.
- Zero Tolerance: We have clear, strict policies against harassment, discrimination, or any inappropriate behavior.
Whether you are a complete beginner or training for our professional certification programs, our goal is to provide a sanctuary where you can express yourself freely. We want you to walk out of our studio feeling empowered, safe, and part of the LVDS family. If you are ready to start your journey, come by the studio, meet our instructors, and see why we say: Bengaluru will dance.
