Response to the Child Protection Act 2000

In order to facilitate learning and development as a dancer, it is sometimes helpful to have a ‘hands on’ approach.  All touching is for beneficial reasons i.e. to help alignment, posture and placing.  All touch is unambiguous and professional.  The intention behind all touch is to enhance the quality of learning. Any student or child has a right to request not to be touched. If you are not happy for staff of The Rhodes Academy of Dance to continue in this professional manner, please let us know immediately.

The Rhodes Academy of Dance does not accept responsibility for any items lost or stolen on these premises or any injuries sustained outside of the Dance Studios.
