This class is for students age 8-12 who have already developed body awareness and core silks concepts.  Students should be able to climb the silk, tie a single footlock, and have a basic understanding of core gymnastic and aerial shapes.  This class meets once per week for 8 weeks, and practices for 1 hour and 15 minutes.  Bring a water bottle, leggings, and form fitting shirt or leotard, and expect to work hard!

Student Code of Conduct for Inspired Aerial Arts

Welcome to Inspired Aerial Arts! To ensure a safe and supportive environment for all students, we ask that you adhere to the following code of conduct:

1. Respect for Instructors

• Follow Instructions: Students must listen to and follow all instructions given by instructors. This ensures your safety and enhances the learning experience for everyone.

2. Equipment Usage

• Permission Required: Students are not allowed to practice on any equipment without prior permission from an instructor. Unauthorized use can lead to injury or damage to the studio.

3. Punctuality

• Arrive on Time: Students are expected to arrive on time for all classes. If you are more than 10 minutes late, we reserve the right to not allow you to attend that class. This policy helps minimize disruptions and ensures that everyone can benefit from the full lesson, and be fully warmed up for their apparatus.

4. Safety First

• Safety Precautions: Always prioritize safety when using studio equipment. Follow all safety protocols as instructed and inform your instructor immediately of any injuries or unsafe conditions.

5. Respect for Others

• Community Respect: Treat fellow students and instructors with kindness and respect. Create an inclusive and supportive environment for everyone.

6. Studio Environment

• Cleanliness: Keep the studio clean and organized. Please clean up after yourself and respect shared spaces and equipment.

7. Attire and Gear

• Dress Appropriately: Wear appropriate clothing for practice that allows for freedom of movement. This usually looks like leggings and a leotard or form fitting shirt that will stay in place when upside down.  Avoid jewelry or watches, and buttons or zippers that could get caught on equipment, or tear the silk.

8. Communication

• Open Dialogue: If you have questions, concerns, or feedback, please communicate openly with your instructors. We value your input and strive to create a positive learning atmosphere.

9. Commitment to Learning

• Practice Mindfully: Approach each class with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn. Embrace challenges and support your peers in their learning journeys.

10. Policy Compliance

• Adherence to Policies: By attending classes at our studio, you agree to adhere to this code of conduct. Failure to comply may result in disciplinary action, including removal from class.
