In the Waiting Rooms

Quiet Cell Phones

Cell phones must be on the vibrate mode. Most guest teachers prefer solitude and you may observe the final 15 minutes of their classes. Guest musicians prefer to have the room silent; please respect their time and talent.

Food and Drink

  • Although food and beverages are permitted in the studio, please keep an eye on small children and alert the staff if an accident happens.

  • We also expect our students to clean up and discard any food or drink items while at the studio.

  • WDA has gone Green – Please Recycle!

Allergy Foods

Being Prepared for Class
