Filming & Media Policy

At Hama Dance Center, we occasionally capture photo and video content to share the studio, our classes, and our dancers through our promotional materials and social media.

When Filming Happens

• Filming generally occurs after class concludes, outside of regular instruction time.
• In some instances, an instructor will film during class. When this happens, the instructor will let students know in advance. Students may choose to step out of frame or opt out of being filmed at any time, even after initially agreeing to participate.

Consent

• All dancers must have a signed Release Form and a signed Filming Consent Form on file.
• Filming is optional — it is up to each dancer whether they choose to participate in after-class filming. No one is required to stay or take part.
• Release forms cover the use of photo/video content for promotional materials, including social media, the website, and studio marketing.
• Parents/guardians must sign on behalf of any dancer under 18.

Our Commitment
At Hama Dance Center, our priority is always training and creating a safe space for our dancers. Filming is a small part of what we do — it will never take precedence over that focus.

Questions
Dancers or parents with questions about this policy, or who wish to opt out of filming, should speak with the front desk or studio director directly.
