Because we pride ourselves in your safety and want to make sure we have a fun time without accidents, there are a few safety tips we would like to pass on to make sure you are prepared.
Because long hair and loose jewelry items can get caught in some machinery, you should bring a pony tail holder or hat to pull back your hair at certain times. Loose jewelry (chain bracelets & long necklaces) as well as loose ties on shirts and scarves can get caught in machinery. If you wear them, you should remove them during class. Eyewear will also be provided.
You will be provided with a mailing before the class of pertinent information.
