Arrival

Please allow time for a visit to the bathroom or to change clothes, so the student does not miss warm-up. All students are responsible for arriving before class starts, wearing appropriate class attire and being ready to start class on time. While we understand that there are many circumstances that may lead to being late, we cannot allow a student to participate in a class if they are more than 10 minutes late. This ensures the safety of the students and maintains a high-quality class environment.

Tuition and Late Fees

• Tuition is due on the 1st of each month. When you register, you may choose an automatic payment date of the 1st, 5th, or 25th of the previous month for your convenience.

• Payments received after the 5th of the month are considered late and will include a late fee: 1 month late: $10 late fee | 2 months late: $20 late fee

• Accounts more than 30 days past due are considered delinquent. At that point, the student will need to pause classes until the account has been brought current. We are always happy to work with families who are experiencing a payment issue, so please reach out to us as soon as possible.

• Auto-Pay is available for your convenience and applies to monthly tuition only. Registration fees, costumes, workshops, recital fees, and other charges are billed separately. If you prefer not to use Auto-Pay, tuition and other fees can be paid through your TAD portal account HERE.

• Monthly tuition remains the same each month, regardless of the number of classes scheduled that month. Tuition is based on the annual cost of instruction and takes into account holidays, scheduled studio closures, and occasional inclement weather closures. We are unable to prorate tuition for individual missed classes.

• Tuition rates are reviewed annually and may increase slightly at the beginning of each school year to help offset rising operating costs and expenses. We strive to keep these adjustments as minimal as possible while continuing to provide quality instruction and a great experience for our students.

Aerial Safety Regulations

Safety is paramount. Transcendence Aerial & Dance and its instructors reserve the right to discourage or deny participation of students with certain injuries or health conditions. We encourage students to arrive early to warm-up in an unoccupied space before class begins and are welcome to do ground-based conditioning after classes. Unsupervised acrobatic or handstand warmup or conditioning is prohibited. Beginner-level classes include a guided ground warm-up to help you develop this practice. Students are only permitted on the apparatus during his/her scheduled class. Students must use caution and follow instructions for their own safety and those around them.

​

Aerial Class Conduct

All students are responsible for their actions, attitude, and behavior for the duration of the time that they are in our facility, and will be expected to respect all coaches and rules.

 

Students must be actively participating and paying attention at all times during class, in order to progress efficiently and to prevent distractions. Students are expected to be courteous and encouraging to classmates. Students are not permitted to call out assistance to other students at any time during class. This prevents incorrect direction and eliminates any risk of unnecessary mistakes. Only assistant teachers are permitted to assist, as they have had training and instruction in assisting.

 

There is often a lot going on and disregarding the safety rules can put others at risk of injury as well. If you become injured during class in any way, please do not keep it to yourself. Please tell an instructor immediately. We promise no one will get mad. By participating in risky activity, sometimes things happen, be we do need to know about it so we can know how to help you.

Illness

Please do not bring your child to class with un-treated pink eye, fever, vomiting or diarrhea, any wet or open rash or sores, or if you think he/she might have croup.
