Princeton issues guidelines for Consent on the Dance Floor
Going to OBB this Friday? Planning to have a great time tearing up the dance floor with your friends? the post asks. Great! Check out some tips about what consent on the dance floor looks like!! #OBB #RespectMatters #ConsentIsCool #DoYouWannaDance?
The post indicates that Do you wanna dance? is an appropriate opening, and that responses such as Absolutely!, Yeah! Let s do it!, and I d love to! are all ways of consenting to the question.
Beyond simply asking & waiting for an answer, the post also asserts that frequently checking in with your dance partner is required in order to maintain consent until the music stops, suggesting that the person who extended the invite periodically ask Hey, are you still into this? and volunteer that We can stop if you aren t.
Well, presumably this only applies to Princeton women.
