However, permission to touch your partner is limited to the duration of the dance and restricted to the following connection points: hands, arms, shoulders, back, hips and, on a few occasions, knees.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re uncomfortable with a gesture your partner makes during the dance, it&#8217;s your responsibility to inform him or her.<\/p>\n<p>If your partner expresses discomfort with a movement you initiate or a point of contact you employ, it is your responsibility to adapt your dance to respect the limits expressed.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Alcohol and drug use<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>We remind you that you are responsible for your consumption of alcohol and drugs at all times.
