Adults
Comfortable clothing. The more visible the body, the better the instructor is able to provide feedback about alignment and technique.

Behavior
aurora believes in creating a supportive and non-judgemental learning environment. Rude, disruptive or derogatory behavior and language will not be tolerated. aurora does not practice or tolerate language or behavior that could be construed as discriminatory towards race, religion, gender, economic or social status, bodily aesthetics, political affiliation or sexual orientation.

Physical Contact
As dance is a physical activity, physical contact and touch does occur during a dance class. To promote the safe and correct use of the body, instructors may occasionally assist students with proper placement and alignment of the body during class. As well, students may work together in pairs or small groups during class exploring dance concepts and creating dances. If you have any concerns, please speak to the instructor.

Food and Beverages
Food, gum, soda and juices are not allowed in the space.  A self-sealing water bottle is strongly encouraged, especially in hot weather.
