Community Guidelines

Version 2 · Last updated: 4 October 2026

Raqsly celebrates belly dance as art, culture and craft. These guidelines keep the community respectful, safe and focused on dance. They apply to everything on Raqsly: videos, photos, profiles, comments and booking requests. Breaking them can lead to content removal, warnings, suspension or a permanent ban.

✅ Welcome

Performances, rehearsals, choreography and teaching clips in every style: Egyptian classic, baladi, saidi, shaabi, tribal, fusion and more
Costume craft, music, history and dance culture
Encouragement, constructive feedback and celebrating other dancers

❌ Not allowed

Nudity and sexual content. No nudity, sexual acts or sexually suggestive content, including edits, captions or camera angles that focus on the body rather than the dance. Stage and practice costumes are fine; sexualised framing is not. Videos that are artistic but may not suit everyone can be marked sensitive: they stay hidden for anyone with Safe Mode on, which is the default.
Anyone under 18. No content featuring minors, of any kind. We remove it immediately, ban the account, and report child sexual abuse material to the competent authorities.
Someone else's video. Only post performances that belong to you. Reposting another dancer's work, even with credit, is not allowed.
Harassment and hate. No insults, threats, body-shaming, sexual comments, stalking, or hate based on religion, nationality, ethnicity, gender, sexuality or disability.
Private information. Never share anyone's home address, phone number, ID documents or other private details without their permission.
Impersonation. Don't pretend to be another person, dancer or organisation.
Off-platform services. Raqsly is for dance. Offering or requesting any service other than dance performances and teaching is forbidden and leads to an immediate ban.
Spam and scams. No fake accounts, bulk messages, fake bookings, fake reviews or payment scams.
Illegal content and activity. Nothing that breaks the law of Egypt or of your country, including trafficking, exploitation, violent threats, incitement, or content that the law prohibits for public morals.

How enforcement works

Detection: automated tools may check new content; human moderators review reports and make the final decision.
Statement of reasons: when we act on your content or account, we tell you in the app which rule applies.
Warnings: 3 warnings lead to a 7-day suspension; a further serious violation leads to a permanent ban.
Immediate ban: content involving minors, sexual services, trafficking or credible threats leads to an immediate ban.
Repeat copyright infringers lose their accounts.

Reporting

Use the Report button on any video, comment, profile or booking request. Reports are confidential.
If someone posted your performance, choose "Not their video" so we can review it quickly.
Anyone, even without an account, can report illegal content to support@raqsly.com with a link and a short explanation.
In an emergency, contact your local police first.

Appeals

If you think we made a mistake, email support@raqsly.com within 30 days of the decision. A person who did not make the first decision will review it, normally within 14 days.
