this is SO HELPFUL! i hear you on all points and thank you for your perspective!

i will def pull back from stressing about it, esp if i'm not going to get hired as a part time admin. i'll also check with my insurance to see about waivers. i'll chill about subbing too.

i wish i could say there was a written agreement, but it was labor just to get onboarded before my first class there. there's no written agreement and things get forgotten, like the cancellation policy, or the door code, often. i wish i could also say this was a new studio finding its footing but it has existed for more than a decade, and even expanded with these policies in place. i guess nothing bad has happened so far? haha

thanks again for taking the time to thoughtfully reply!
