Studio Rules
Welcome! Our studio rules are in place to keep everyone safe and make sure you get the most from your classes. These rules apply to both adult classes and young flyer classes.
By purchasing Pole Tricks & Aerial classes, you are agreeing to these rules as well as our terms and conditions. Please read carefully before booking, and if you have any questions, just send us a message.
Classes
-
Rescheduling: All classes require 24hrs notice to rebook. For full terms and conditions please click here.
-
Class setup: Class numbers, type of equipment, height of equipment, lesson content, and number of students per equipment may vary at the instructor’s discretion and must be respected.
-
The warm-up at the start of class is vital for safety. Please arrive on time. If you miss most of the warm-up, there will be a second opportunity for you to join in, but you must complete our warm-up sheet exercises fully and correctly. The instructor will decide if you need to warm up more before joining in. Safety always comes first.
-
Students must stay for the cool-down. If you must leave early, stop 5 minutes before and complete our cool-down sheet. This reduces the risk of injury and DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness).
-
Students must follow the instructors directions at all times.
-
Only perform moves taught by the instructor. Do not attempt moves you cannot do safely or have not been taught. Do not teach other students. Moves are taught in a specific order to suit your ability, progress you safely, and prevent injuries.
-
Do not attempt to invert unless shown correctly by the instructor. If you are still learning, never attempt without instructor assistance or a designated spotter.
