The school neither condones nor tolerates any touching of students by instructors that is harmful or professionally reckless. Before enrolling a student, please consider that it is school policy  correct dancers with physical contact. If the student or parent/guardian is uncomfortable with this policy, you may wish to reconsider enrolling the student.
