We expect diamond families to remain respectful to staff and one another at all times. Any offensive or intimidating behavior will not be tolerated and may result in dismissal from Diamond Studios.

While Diamond Studios takes cautious approaches to our method of teaching, dance by nature comes with risks of injury both in studio and when performing on stage. By enrolling at Diamond, you acknowledge that Diamond Studios tutors will not be held liable for injuries or associated costs should any occur.
