**PHYSICAL SAFETY**
-Dancing is physical exercise – you participate at your own risk and it is your responsibility to consult your physician to confirm your fitness capabilities before beginning any dance lessons. A doctors’ note may be required to begin a class if you have special physical concerns, or to return to activity after an absence from class due to injury, illness, or during pregnancy. Always make your instructor aware of any physical limitations or concerns that you may have.

-If for any reason you need to leave the premises during a class, please notify your instructor before class starts.
-Videotaping of classes is not permitted unless cleared with the instructor beforehand. Videos are not to be posted to YouTube or any other social media site without clearance from Melodic Remedy and the rest of parties in the video.
-We are thrilled to meet the many diverse personalities that join our studio and truly believe that every individual’s personality should be allowed to shine.
