Studio Policies and FAQs
If there are any additional questions which are not answered in the student handbook and the FAQs below, please reach out to us via email info@invertedperspectivesaerial.com
Arrival Time
We ask that students arrive 5 minutes prior to the start of each class to ensure they are fully prepared and ready to participate. For first-time students, we recommend arriving a bit earlier to allow extra time to fill out waivers and complete any necessary paperwork. This will also give you the opportunity to take a quick tour of the studio space and get acquainted with your surroundings before class begins. Arriving early ensures that you have a smooth and enjoyable experience from the moment you arrive!
Late Arrivals: We understand that sometimes delays happen. In the event of a late arrival, students must complete a full warm-up on their own before joining the rest of the class to ensure safety. If a student is more than 15 minutes late for class (5 minutes for intro) they cannot join the class.
Dress Code
At Inverted Perspectives Aerial, our dress code prioritizes the safety, comfort, and success of each aerialist! Students are required to wear form-fitting clothing that fully covers the backs of their knees to prevent friction burns and ensure safety. Covering the midsection and armpits is recommended for extra protection and comfort, though not required.
Not Permitted: zippers, rhinestones, hoodies, or drawstrings, as these can catch on equipment and pose safety risks. Jewelry of any kind is not allowed, and nails should be kept short and filed to protect the aerial fabrics. New ear piercings must be securely covered with bandages or athletic tape before class.
Additional Tips: Depending on the class, it may be helpful to bring additional coverage for elbows or wear socks for certain exercises.
Health & Hygiene
If you are experiencing viral symptoms, such as fever, excessive runny nose, or persistent cough, please stay home to support a healthy environment for everyone. Students must be 24 hours fever free in the absence of fever reducing medications. All students are asked to wash hands and feet before class and to wear clean clothes.
Hygiene Requirement: Good hygiene is essential to maintaining both fabric quality and a positive class experience. Deodorant is required to help manage body odor, as unpleasant odors can damage the fabrics and shorten their lifespan. Frequent washing of fabrics can make them slippery and harder to use, which may detract from the experience for everyone. Please be considerate, as some students may also be sensitive to smells.
Substitutions & Class Cancellations
In the event that a teacher is unable to attend class, we will make every effort to find a qualified substitute to ensure continuity in your learning experience.
Class cancellations will be determined no later than 2 hours before the scheduled start time. Inverted Perspectives Aerial follows the local school districts for snow day cancellations. We may use our discretion to hold classes if conditions allow for safe travel. Any class cancellations will be communicated through our website at https://www.invertedperspectivesaerial.com/ and our Facebook page.
