Capsule 11 — Soft touch, cell phone policy and leave no trace

"The crowd is me, it's you, it's them, it's us."

This capsule addresses three essential values for experiencing the dance floor consciously and respectfully: Soft Touch, No Cell Phone and Leave No Trace. It underscores that gentleness in interactions, genuine presence without digital distraction, and care for the shared space form the foundation of a harmonious celebration. These concrete gestures embody the S.O.U.L. spirit — Spirit of Underground Living — where every dancer becomes a guardian of the collective flow.

Memorable quotes

"Use a gentle and respectful touch on the dance floor, as if you were touching your mother."

"If you need to use your phone, do it discreetly or step to the side of the floor."

"Pick up your trash! Every gesture matters for the safety of dancers and to maintain a debris-free floor where ankles stay safe."
