• No chewing gum or food is permitted in the studios. If a child needs a snack between classes, they are asked to eat before or after class.
• The school is not responsible for theft on the premises. We ask that you do not bring valuables (such as cell phones, game consoles, iPods, iPads, or other electronic accessories) or ensure they are properly secured.
