Our space is limited. Please do not bring family members to the gym to watch the class. If you are bringing a minor child to class please wait in your car during class or one parent/guardian may sit in the chairs near the entrance ONLY if there is room to socially distance from others. *

Student must dress appropriately. A leotard with leggings is advised.

Students cannot have long fingernails or toenails for classes at Spokane Aerial. All nails should be even with the end of the finger or toe without any sharp edges. Long fingernails or toenails will have to be cut and filed smooth before students will be allowed to participate in class.

Jewelry is NOT allowed. For safety reasons rings, necklaces. chokers, earrings, nose rings, belly rings, and any other piercing is not allowed and must be removed prior to the start of class. This includes septum piercings, gages that are not completely flush with the skin, tucked in piercings and belly rings. Please do not sign up for this class if you have piercings that cannot be removed. Even when covered, belly button rings can cause damage to the silks.

Please come to class with clean garments and no perfume or scented lotions. The aerial silk apparatus' are used by others and smells tend to "stick" to the silk. Shirts with sleeves are required and are best for hygiene and also to prevent burns in the arm pit area when sliding down the silks. *

I accept that Spokane Aerial Performance Arts offers NO REFUNDS and NO MAKEUP CLASSES. Spokane Aerial Performance Arts offers no refunds in the case of a local or national disaster. AGAIN, NO MAKEUP CLASSES ARE AVAILABLE FOR ANY REASON. Spokane Aerial does not offer credits, transfers or refunds. Spokane Aerial does not refund for illness or injury.

Disruptive behavior can be dangerous and is not tolerated. If a student continues to exhibit disruptive behavior after repeated warnings the instructor may ask the child to sit out the remainder of a class. It is helpful if parents can help reinforce the importance of paying attention and following directions in class. Spokane Aerial Performance Arts reserves the right to refuse service to anyone who is a safety risk. Students who repeatedly exhibit dangerous and unsafe behavior may be canceled from all classes and not allowed to return. *

ADULT students are likewise expected to follow all instructor directives and may also be asked to leave class if any behavior or activities are deemed unsafe or disruptive by the instructor. Consumption of drugs or alcohol prior to participation in class is highly unsafe and students under the influence of either will be immediately ejected from class, with no refund or make-up given for the missed class. *

A student may be responsible for the replacement of equipment (silks) if they are the cause of damage due to attire or negligent use. Rings, piercings, zippers and other items can cause ruin the silks by causing holes and tears. Also, misuse and negligent use of the silks can cause burns and holes in the silks. Students and Parents acknowledge they may be responsible for the replacement of equipment if students repeatedly misuse equipment. *

Makeup classes are not available and will not be offered if the student cannot participate due to lack of adherence to Spokane Aerial policies and guidelines. *
