The SOCIAL Code

Welcome to The SOCIAL Code podcast! We all want to have fun, but once it becomes a chore, then it's time to bail. Sometimes people just suck and so we wanted to talk about how to leave an "un-fun" situation with grace and kindness towards others while still respecting ourselves first. It's ok to walk away...even mid-dance, but let us help you navigate the steps to take to make sure you're doing it mindfully and respectfully. Come for the tips, but stay for the bloopers.If you took something away from this episode, or know someone who might enjoy or could benefit from this week's podcast, take a screenshot and share it to your Instagram story or Facebook page in the next 30 seconds, and tag us in it so we can see!If you enjoyed this episode, we'd love for you to leave a review, give the podcast a 5 star rating and subscribe for more.http://www.TheSocialCodePodcast.comInstagram: @the.socialcodeEmail: TheSocialCodePodcast@gmail.comPlease feel free to email us some ideas of what you'd like us to talk about and touch on in future episodesMusic credit: Casanova - Palm Trees

Welcome to The SOCIAL Code podcast! The world is slowly beginning to open up again (it's COVID-19 Summer time) so what does that mean for social dancing? So many things are unknown and out of our control, BUT the one thing we can control is whether or not we choose to complain or be appreciative of the little things. This episode is a nice little hello from us, and a reminder to not complain about dumb shit when socials begin to open back up.

Welcome to The SOCIAL Code podcast! Your instructor/host is the heart of the Social Dance scene. What they pump out is what spreads through the event and community, so you SHOULD hold them to the highest possible standards. You should feel happy, comfortable and supported at their event and if you don't, use that beautiful voice of yours to speak up and let them know. Your host should be an extension of you and your voice. This episode is all about that, and how a great host/instructor can make or break the best nights.If you took something away from this episode, or know someone who might enjoy or could benefit from this week's podcast, take a screenshot and share it to your Instagram story or Facebook page in the next 30 seconds, and tag us in it so we can see!If you enjoyed this episode, we'd love for you to leave a review, give the podcast a 5 star rating and subscribe for more.http://www.TheSocialCodePodcast.comInstagram: @the.socialcodeEmail: TheSocialCodePodcast@gmail.comPlease feel free to email us some ideas of what you'd like us to talk about and touch on in future episodesMusic credit: Casanova - Palm Trees
