1. Commitment to Safety

The Studio prioritizes the safety, well-being, and long-term health of all dancers. Instructors are committed to teaching proper technique, safe training methods, and best practices designed to promote longevity in dancers’ bodies and reduce the risk of injury.

However, the Student understands that even with appropriate instruction and supervision, injuries may occur.

  • Collisions with other participants

  • Fatigue or overuse injuries

  • Slips on dance flooring
