Frequently Asked Questions
Gender Balance
-
How are you controlling the gender mix when booking?
This means as a woman, when you book on-line, unless you are booking, where the number of men is at least the equivalent or greater than the number of women then your booking will not be accepted.
Once the gender disparity ratio has been corrected the bookings for women will reopen as normal.
Unlike other events, we believe that getting the balance of men to women is important in terms of making this an enjoyable event for everyone.
It will certainly help if you endeavour to gender balance your bookings with dance friends before you try and book.
I'm a lady and I want to go to Swish. How can I do this if there is gender imbalance existing and you are thus not accepting bookings from ladies?
As a lady wishing to come to Swish you can do a number of things.
* You book as a mixed gender couple.
* You book in a mixed gender group with an equivalent number of men to women.
* You place a message on the SWISH “Message Board” found in the “SWISH Home” page.
* You find a group of men at your local venue who want to go to Swish but have not got around to booking yet. Get them to book on line and then use their booking to balance your ladies only booking. When they book they will be given a booking reference which will then need to be passed on to you. You then email us (within 48 hours, our contact details are in “Contact” page) quoting the men’s booking reference and your group’s details in full.
How will you manage and control the gender mix at the event?
The wrist bands will be checked at the entrances to the main entertainments building to ensure the wearer has the correct coloured wrist band.
If you are therefore a female thinking of pretending to be a male when booking, you will not be allowed into the entertainments complex. This is a strict rule and will be implemented.
How will you manage the gender balance?
This gender control is really frustrating as I want to book now?
It’s also worth noting that from our perspective we are not only going to lose potential sales by implementing this system but we are also generating ourselves lots of additional administration.
Is your 'gender balancing' not illegal under the equal opportunities laws?
