Here are some basics to start with. Yes we are appalled we had to make this list too: 

• At Sunburn, we strive for a safe and inclusive environment where everyone feels welcomed and respected. We believe that no one should face discrimination or harassment, regardless of gender, orientation, culture, religion, ethnicity, or abilities. Our goal is for all attendees to feel safe, be themselves, and enjoy the experience while being treated with kindness and dignity

• Respect peoples’ space around you and dance in your own personal bubble and with your friends

• Refrain from physically pulling anyone to dance without their consent.

• Be mindful of personal boundaries. Don’t touch or invade someone’s space without clear consent, including during photos or conversations.

• Pay attention to body language. If someone looks uncomfortable or isn’t engaging, it’s time to back off.

• Consent is key, in all interactions. Always ensure the other person is comfortable, whether it’s dancing, talking, or interacting in any way.

Drug Abuse: Sunburn has a zero tolerance approach to anyone found in possession or consumption of substances thought to be prohibited by local law or by Sunburn’s own terms and conditions of entry. At the very least you will not be allowed to remain at the venue and the Police will decide on further action against you.
