🌈 Please read before purchasing your ticket:

Baila Safica is a sapphic salsa & bachata social created to offer a safe, affirming space for sapphics to connect through dance, music, and community.

This is a sapphic-centred event. If you do not identify with the sapphic experience, we kindly ask that you sit out our events. This space is intentionally created to center sapphic joy, safety, and community.

Sapphic identity includes lesbians, bisexuals, queers, trans women, trans men, fems, masc, and non-binary folks who identify as sapphics. Our events are not for cisgender men. Sapphic identity comes in different shapes and forms; we contain multitudes, and it might look different from person to person.

We ask everyone to be respectful of the space and each other. We are creating a safe community, and it means everyone who comes to our events belongs here, no matter how they present! There is no room for harassment, bullying, prejudice, or any type of violence!

We are going to try to have a quiet space set up at every venue, but for some of the venues, it might not be possible. We will still have some fidget toys with us, just ask to use them!

Organizers reserve the right to refuse a ticket sale to those who don't comply with our code of conduct.

Organizers reserve the right to remove anyone who makes others uncomfortable during the event.

We want everyone in our community to be able to share the joy of dance with us. If finances are tight right now, we completely understand. Just DM us on Instagram @bailasaficatoronto.

Come dance, connect, and celebrate with us. We can’t wait to see you on the dance floor 💜
