Hi everyone,

Thanks to your incredible support, we now have 225 signatures on this petition! 🎉 But my goal? Well, it’s a lot bigger than that...

Can you help us take it even further?

Here’s how:
👉 Share this petition directly with your friends or in group chats. While Instagram stories and other social media work great, we’ve found that personal conversations drive the most engagement.
👉 Signatures from community leaders, artists, and other organisers are especially impactful—so don’t hesitate to reach out to those in your network who can amplify our message.

To make it super easy, here’s a sample message you can copy and paste:

"Hi! I’m sharing this link because it’s an important cause to me: https://www.change.org/SocialDanceCompEquality It’s about creating inclusivity and choice for dancers in the roles they want to explore. Your signature would mean so much. Thank you!"

Why sign this petition?
While the event organizer behind this petition may not change the competition rules immediately, your signature adds to a powerful community statement. It shows the growing support for dancers who want the freedom to dance in the role they choose. Together, we’re building a movement that values inclusivity and role flexibility in our dance community.

Why is this petition focused on social dance competitions?
This issue extends beyond one competition. Event rules reinforce the norms that exist in our dance community. Addressing these issues here can help pave the way for change across the broader dance community. 

Let’s keep the momentum going! 🌟
