Our Values

D

Dance for Fun

Joy is the goal — we dance because it feels good and brings us happiness. Movement, connection, and wellbeing are wonderful side effects.

A

Accessible Learning

We reduce barriers to participation through levelled classes, sharing free online resources, sliding-scale payment and pay it forward options — so everyone can learn, dance, and connect

N

Neighbourly Kindness

Like good neighbours, we treat ourselves and each other with care, respect, and compassion. Laugh at your mistakes and have patience with yourself and others learning.

C

Care for Community

We look out for one another — staying mindful of health and safety, watch your boots, welcome new people, supporting those who want help with steps, and actively including everyone so no one feels left out.

E

Everybody Belongs

All bodies, backgrounds, identities, ages, and abilities are welcome here. Exclusion has no place — everyone should feel safe, supported, and included.

Acknowledgement of Country

Step Stampede acknowledge the Djabugay People as the true custodians of the land on which we live, learn, and dance. Their cultures, knowledge, and care have nurtured this place for tens of thousands of years, and we recognise that dance has always been a living, powerful part of culture that continues to shape this place and the world of dance today. We honour the presence of their ancestors, pay our respects to Elders past and present, and acknowledge Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, and other First peoples who visit our spaces and dance with us.

As part of our commitment to a more just and equitable future, we strive to work in genuine partnership with First peoples in our community. We celebrate and honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture through dance by crediting and platforming Indigenous artists and learn respectfully. We are committed to increasing access and creating opportunities that uplift First peoples, ensuring our community remains inclusive and welcoming.

We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded — this always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
