New students: All new adult students will be required to take a minimum of 1 month of Basic I Aerial Silks for Beginners in order to understand all safety and education policies at Spokane Aerial Performance Arts. Students may choose to remain in the Basic I class for as long as they wish. New youth students may take any youth K-12 aerial silk class offered that does not have a prerequisite.

Adult classes: Adult classes are offered in the evenings and on weekends for students age 15 to adult. Each class is 1 hour and includes a warm-up, new skill instruction and strength and conditioning. Class offerings may change due to low enrollment, the busy season or instructor availability. Max student enrollment is 5-8 students per class depending on COVID-19 requirements.

Youth classes: Spokane Aerial's new Youth K-12 program is designed for school aged kids. Each class is 1 hour and includes a warm-up, new skill instruction on silks and hammocks and age appropriate conditioning. Youth classes are offered in the late afternoon, evenings and on weekends for students age 6-10 and 11-15. Class offerings may change due to low enrollment, the busy season or instructor availability. Max student enrollment is 5-8 students per class depending on COVID-19 requirements.

WAIT LIST. If the class you are interested in is full, please select the class you want and add it to the selections. You will not be charged and will be added to the waiting list for that class. If Spokane Aerial is closed for a competition or a performance and your class is canceled, that will be reflected in the price. Please refer to the calendar if you have questions about the schedule.

Punctuality: Students need to be ready to train at the time specified. Since warm up time is essential for safety, students arriving more than 10 minutes late for class may not be admitted to class.

Missing a Class: No make up classes or sessions are available for classes missed.

Commitment: By registering and signing this form, you, as the student or the guardian of a student, are making a commitment to your health. Please do your very best to attend every class of your session or agreement. Keeping your commitment will help you to reach your fitness and artistic goals in the studio and gym.

Stopping Exercises: Any student may stop any exercise for any reason (this is supported in every class for every student), using common sense and safety. It is the student's responsibility to notify the instructor of any discomfort or pain arising from or during exercise, as well as any and all other known limitations the student has or experiences so that the instructor may accommodate the student and substitute another exercise to work that particular muscle group. Although students are attending the aerial conditioning class with other students, individual adaptations can easily be made for different levels of fitness and strength.

In consideration of the services of Spokane Aerial Performance Arts, their agents, owners, officers, volunteers, participants, employees, and all other persons or entities acting in any capacity on their behalf (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Spokane Aerial"), myself, my spouse, my children, my parents, my heirs, assigns, personal representative and estate as follows:
I represent that I am in good health and have no known exposure to COVID-19 and no symptoms of Covid-19, including fever, sudden loss of taste or smell, vomiting or diarrhea, cough, shortness of breath or sore throat, for 14 days prior to attending the facility. I acknowledge that if I believe I have had any exposure to COVID-19, I will immediately cease attendance at the facility until I can again warrant that I have no known exposure for the 14-day period and alert the facility if I have been on the premises since my exposure.

I am aware that training during and after the COVID-19 pandemic involves certain inherent risks, dangers and hazards, which can result in serious infection, personal injury or death. I further acknowledge, understand, appreciate, and agree that my participation may result in possible exposure to and illness from COVID-19. While protocols and personal discipline may reduce this risk, the risk of serious injury, illness and even death is not possible to fully mitigate.

Spokane Aerial is making its best efforts to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19. But the safety of the community is in the hands of every one of us. I expressly agree and promise to abide by the safety precautions displayed at the gym/studio, covered in pre-class safety briefings, displayed on the Spokane Aerial website, and communicated to me via email. I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all the risks existing in this activity. My participation in this activity is purely voluntary, and I elect to participate despite the risks.

I hereby freely agree to assume and accept all known and unknown risks of exposure to COVID-19, even arising from the negligence as a general principle on law, when a person knows of the risk of an activity, of the releases or others and assume full responsibility for my participation. I further recognize and acknowledge that the risks inherent in training can be greatly reduced by carefully following the safety precautions displayed at the gym/studio, covered in pre-class safety briefings, displayed on the Spokane Aerial website, and communicated to me via email.

I acknowledge that my participation in aerial and other classes or activities at Spokane Aerials' studio or elsewhere entails known and unanticipated risks that could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, transfer of illness, or damage to myself, to property, or to third parties. I understand that such risks simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity. The risks include, among other things: slips and falls; falling from equipment; rope burns; pinches, scrapes, twists and jolts that could result in scratches, bruises, sprains, lacerations, fractures, concussions, or even more severe life threatening hazards; strains, cuts, bruises, muscle soreness and fractures; musculoskeletal injuries including head, neck, and back; injuries to internal organs; the negligence of other people; the negligence of other participants, or other persons who may be present; my own physical condition; and the risk of emotional and psychological insures or physical damage associated with this activity. Traveling to and from shows, meets and exhibitions raises the possibility of any manner of transportation accidents.

Furthermore, Spokane Aerial instructors and teaching assistants have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety, but they are not infallible. They might be unaware of a participant's fitness, abilities or potential communicable diseases. They might misjudge the weather or other environmental conditions. They may give incomplete warnings or instructions, and the equipment being used might malfunction. I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all the risks existing in this activity. My participation in this activity is purely voluntary, and I elect to participate despite the risks.

I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless Spokane Aerial from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action, which are in any way connected with my participation in this activity or my use of Spokane Aerial's equipment or facilities, including any such claims which allege negligent acts or omissions of Spokane Aerial.

I have read this Agreement and I fully understand its terms. I understand that I am giving up substantial rights, including my right to sue the facility and its staff for injuries resulting from the inherent risks of training during and after the COVID-10 pandemic, and the ordinary negligence of the facility and staff. I further acknowledge that I am signing this agreement freely and voluntarily, without inducement or assurance of any nature, and intend my signature to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by the laws of the State of Washington.

I submit that myself/my child does not have ANY medical or learning problems that will interfere with aerial and circus arts.

In addition, I realize Basic I Level classes are designed for new students who may not have a lot of core or upper-body strength. All levels, ages, and body types are welcome, yet students must be in good health to participate in such activity. Clients with the following physical limitations should consult their doctor before participating in aerial acrobatics: Pregnancy, glaucoma, recent surgery (esp. shoulder, eyes, back, hips, hands or wrist), heart disease, very high or low blood pressure, easy onset vertigo, osteoporosis / bone weakness, recent head injury, cerebral sclerosis, propensity for fainting, carpal tunnel syndrome, severe arthritis, sinusitis or head cold, hiatal hernia, disc herniation or acute, discogenic disease, recent stroke, artificial hips, radiculitis (inflammation of nerve root in spine), severe muscle spasms, botox injections (within 6 hours).

I submit that my doctor has not diagnosed myself or my child with a heart condition and myself/my child's activities have not been limited due to this or any diagnosis.

I submit that myself/my child has never lost my balance because of dizziness or lost consciousness.

I submit that myself/my child does not have a bone or joint problem (for example, back, hands, knee or hip) that could be made worse by change in your physical activity.

I submit that myself/my child's doctor is not currently prescribing drugs (for example, water pills)
for your blood pressure or heart condition.

I fully and accurately completed the Medical Information section for myself/my child, for the Spokane Aerial Performance Arts conditioning and performance program and have no physical condition that would prevent or hinder my participation. In the event of any injury or illness while attending SAPA, I authorize SAPA and its employees to administer first aid, initiate a call to first responders and initiate medical treatment if necessary.

If I myself or my child has any of the above listed concerns, I shall contact Spokane Aerial Performance Arts prior to completing any registration. I also will and obtain a note from myself/my child's doctor in order to participate at Spokane Aerial Performance Arts. This note will be held on file at Spokane Aerial Performance Arts.

I HAVE FULLY INFORMED MYSELF OF THE CONTENTS OF THIS HEALTH QUESTIONAIRE BY READING THIS BEFORE SIGNING IT.

I accept that Spokane Aerial Performance Arts offers NO REFUNDS and NO MAKEUP CLASSES, except in the event of class closure initiated by Spokane Aerial Performance Arts. Spokane Aerial Performance Arts offers no refunds in the case of a local or national disaster.

The gym floor and equipment are to be used DURING CLASS TIME ONLY UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A SPOKANE AERIAL PERFORMANCE ARTS INSTRUCTOR ONLY. Absolutely NO-ONE is allowed on the main gym floors, trampolines, or other equipment at any time outside of or between classes, regardless of age, level of physical fitness or experience, or student tenure at Spokane Aerial Performance Arts.

Listening, paying attention, following instructor directions and safety rules will help you and/or your child get the most out of your Spokane Aerial Performance Arts class.

Disruptive behavior can be dangerous and is not tolerated. If a student continues to exhibit disruptive behavior after repeated warnings and timeouts, 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.

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.

Rules of Class: Students may not chew gum or have food on the gym floor.

Students and guests are not allowed on the gym floor before or after class and must always stay off of the equipment unless supervised by an instructor.

Be on time for class! Missing the warm-up may be a hazard. Students who are more than 10 minutes late will be instructed to complete the necessary warm up before participation can take place and may have to miss out on certain activities if a warm-up in the gym is not done.

Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. Spokane Aerial Performance Arts reserves the right to cancel a student's enrollment at any time.

Parents are allowed in designated waiting area only. ONLY students and instructor are allowed on the gym floor. Please refer to COVID-19 guidelines when waiting for your child.

No horseplay at any time in the facility or on the grounds.

I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all the risks existing in this activity. My and/or my child's participation in this activity is purely voluntary, and I elect to participate in spite of the risks. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless SAPA from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action, which are in any way connected with my participation in this activity or my use of SAPA's equipment or facilities, including any such claims which allege negligent acts or omissions of SAPA. Should SAPA or anyone acting on their behalf, be required to incur attorney's fees and costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and costs.

I certify that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may cause or suffer while participating, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage myself. I further certify that I am willing to assume the risk of any medical or physical condition I may have. In the event that I file a lawsuit against SAPA, I agree to do so solely in the state of Washington, and I further agree that the substantive law of that state shall apply in that action without regard to the conflict of law rules of that state. I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining document shall remain in full force and effect.

I understand that this Release Agreement is a legally binding contract and shall remain in effect for the duration of my or my children's participation in Spokane Aerial Performance Art's activities. This Release agreement shall bind my heirs, personal representatives, assigns and all members of my family, including minors.

By signing this document, I acknowledge that if anyone is hurt or property is damaged during my participation in this activity, I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against SAPA on the basis of any claim from which I have released them herein.

I have had sufficient opportunity to read this entire document. I have read and understood it, and I agree to be bound by its terms.

Please arrive early, enter the door on the west end of the building and wait at the chairs next to the wall. All students should remain at the chairs near the entrance until their instructor comes to get them and lead the entire group to the silk area. Students (adult & children) arriving more than 10 min late for class may not be admitted to class. The gym is a no shoes area and shoes, coats, and extra clothing will be placed in a cubbie after the instructor leads the students in a group to the silk area. Please do not bring valuables to class. Parents please pick students up promptly after their class is completed.

Students (children and/or minors) are not allowed to leave the building except with a parent or other responsible adult. Parents you MUST come inside to pick up your child. Due to COVID-19, 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. There is a limited number of chairs and limited space due to social distancing regulations.

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. Missed classes will not result in prorated tuition or refund, and do not carry over between Sessions. Occasional missed classes are acceptable but cannot be made up or prorated.

Student must dress appropriately. A T-shirt, or a leotard and leggings are advisable. For safety reasons you or your child will not be allowed to participate if wearing a crop top, tank top or camisole. Most fitness/athletic clothing without strings, buttons, zippers or other restrictive are also acceptable. Bare feet are recommended. Footed tights are not allowed. Students must have hair tied back away from his/her face. Students must wear a headband to secure their glasses, if applicable. Please remove ALL piercings and jewelry prior to coming to class. Student may be responsible for the replacement of equipment (silks) if they are the cause of damage due to attire (see above). Rings, piercings, zippers and other mentioned items above can cause ruin the silks by causing holes and tears. Please feel free to ask the instructor for advice on what type of clothing and shoes is appropriate.

Hygiene: Cleanliness in the aerial arts while working on fabrics is important as equipment is shared. Each students' workout clothing should be freshly laundered. In consideration of others, students should take care to have good hygiene.

Soreness and Stiffness: Aerial work is a highly intense fitness program. Expect to be sore after class. Soreness should last 2-3 days, and typically occurs in the fingers, forearms, shoulders, back, and abs. If soreness lasts longer than 5 days, consider taking a break until completely healed. Even if new students are in good shape, as with any new movement practice, they will probably still experience soreness. Aerial work is a unique fitness program because it introduces the body to the instability of suspension. The body must strengthen all the tiny stabilizer muscles that don't normally get used. Expect to experience soreness regularly after class for about 4-6 weeks. Calluses are normal on the palms and fingers.

Jewelry: Jewelry is NOT allowed. Please do not sign up for this class if you have piercings that cannot be removed. Earrings, nose rings, belly rings and any other piercing is not allowed and must be removed prior to the start of class. Rings and necklaces must be removed prior to the start of class. Students will not be allowed to participate in silk classes with new piercings that cannot be removed. No exceptions. Class payments are not refundable for any reason and a credit will not be issued if students get new piercings during a session. Students will be asked to come back the next week if fingernails are too long or if jewelry cannot be removed. Jewelry and some clothing may cause damage and holes to silk apparatus. Students may be responsible for undue damage done to equipment at Spokane Aerial. Spokane Aerial does not accept responsibility for lost or stolen items. Please leave your valuables at home.
