How it works
Each question reflects on language, spaces, safety, and respect. Choose the option closest to your real behavior. See your fluency profile at the end.
1
Answer honestly. No data leaves this page. Fluency is about awareness, not perfection.
2
Feel the range. Nightlife, ballroom, kink, history, etiquette.
3
Read your profile. Get tags, a summary, and a shareable text block.
Consent & safety. Ask before filming or touching. Check exits. Respect "no."
Credit & context. Credit DJs, performers, houses. Learn the roots before you remix.
Representation. Include trans, non-binary, disabled, and BIPOC voices. Avoid tokenizing.
Signal reading. Volume, body language, eye contact, space—adjust to the room.
Quick glossary
Ballroom: Houses, categories, MCs, trophies. Consent to film is not implied.
Leather/Kink: Dress codes, no uninvited touch, ask before photos. Respect protocols.
Trade: Discreet hookup partner, often masc-leaning; not a currency exchange.
Shade/Read: Shade=subtle ribbing; reading=direct, stylized critique. Know when to sit out.
Femme/Butch/Andro: Expressions, not costumes. Don’t police presentation.
Chosen family: Bonds beyond blood. Protect their privacy like your own.
