✦ GO W!LD Core Values

GO W!LD Furdance was created with the intent to create a space where furries can safely come together and dance, sweat and have fun. To ensure this space stays as such, we stand for and make decisions according to our core values:

Community

GO W!LD was created by furries, for furries. While non-furries are welcome, we strive to create a club night experience aimed at those with ties to the fandom. Here you are invited to make friends, and find connection with others in the community.

Inclusivity

It is of the utmost importance that LGBTQIA+, disabled and POC individuals feel safe partaking in our events. There is zero tolerance for any kind of bigotry in our spaces. If you are a member of any of the above mentioned minority groups, and have thoughts on how we can improve on inclusion, please let us know!

Dancing

GO W!LD was created in response to the lack of furry clubbing/dancing events in Sweden. Therefore we prioritise in our productions good music, lighting and space to let loose. We're here to DANCE!
