Here are a few tips to help you join in the excitement that comes with all Dragfort events:
💖 CONSENT IS SEXY!! Do NOT touch the performers, especially their hair!!! (Yes, it is real – not a wig). You shouldn’t be touching anyone unless you have their enthusiastic consent. It’s easy to get carried away in such a lively atmosphere, but remember to respect the performers and your fellow audience members.
💖 MONEY PLEASE!!! These performers are giving it their all. Show them some love in the form of $1 and $5 bills if they are giving you life…or go big with a $20 if they knocked your fanny pack off!
💖 DON’T BE SHY! When you see something incredible, show them you love it! Clap, scream and shout for these performers, they LOVE an active audience. Share the joy and excitement of the show with the rest of the crowd, and be in the moment! Dress up: these performers are serving looks with a full face of glam, so you can show a little flare as well if you would like. You can never have too much sparkle and glitz!!!
💖 SHARE THE MOMENT! Bring a friend or make a new one at the show. This is a totally inclusive space, and we love new fans and new friends. It’s going to be a night to remember, so share that moment with your besties. Feel free to snap photos and videos and tag your fave performers, unless otherwise instructed by a Dragfort host.
