We believe that every person has an obligation to maintain the highest quality of training at Artz N’ Motion’s facility. To support a safe and welcoming environment for all, we require that each student adhere to the following policies:
​
The basic rules of safety in every class are:
I will respect my instructors and follow instructions for my own safety and the safety of others.
I will respect fellow students.
Do not push yourself farther than your own strength/ body can handle.
Always hold on to the equipment while climbing or performing a skill.
Safety is important here at Artz N’ Motion.
To keep our students safe, parents and students should be familiar with the following rules.
1. All students under the age of 18 are to wait inside the building for their ride to arrive. No student under the age of 18 should be outside of the building without the supervision of an adult.
2. To avoid injury, students may not participate in class if they are more than 15 minutes late. They may stay to watch and stretch on the ground.
3. Students should wait for their instructor to call them in for class. Do not practice on the equipment before your instructor has called you into class.
4. Only one student at a time on the crash mats and or apparatus (unless otherwise instructed).
5. Absolutely no swinging on the equipment. (Spinning is allowed with instructor’s permission).
6. Students are not allowed on any equipment before, during or after class without an instructor.
7. Students should not enter or leave the aerial area without permission from an instructor. We suggest using the lavatory before class. If necessary to use the lavatory during class time, students must ask the instructor for permission.
​
8. Students should report any injuries to the instructor and always tell the instructor if they are feeling sick or hurt.
9. Students must listen to and follow their instructor’s directions. Students should ask for help if they do not understand what to do or how to do it.
10. Do not try any skills the instructor has not taught you. Only work on the skills covered in class.
11. Students should never try a new skill without an instructor’s spot or guidance. Students should never attempt to spot a fellow classmate, nor let a fellow classmate spot them.
12. Students are not permitted to teach other students during or outside of class.
13. When waiting for their turn: - Students should not push, cut or stand too close to the person in front of them. - Students should make sure the person in front of them is out of their way before taking their turn.
14. Ask the instructor to help you if a mat or equipment has moved. Do not try to adjust the equipment yourself.
15. Use the following guidelines for appropriate dress: - Wear comfortable, form-fitting activewear.

No buttons, belts, zippers on clothing. No clothing with dangling strings, beads or similar items should be worn. Only “footless” tights should be worn (all these things could not only hurt the equipment, but you as well)!
16. Hair that is long enough to swing in front of your face must be secured back.
17. No jewelry of any kind (necklaces, bracelets or earrings. (Tiny stud earrings are permissible.) Jewelry can snag or get tangled in the equipment (all these things could not only hurt the equipment, but you as well)!
