Studio Verto Policies and Procedures

 At Studio Verto, we are committed to providing a safe, supportive, and positive environment for all students. Please take a moment to review the following policies to ensure the best experience for everyone. 

To maintain a safe environment for all participants, the following safety guidelines must be followed:

• Warm-Up Requirement: All students must arrive on time and participate in the full warm-up. Doors will be locked 5 minutes after the class start time and any students that arrive after that will not be permitted into class and will forfeit their class fee.
• Jewelry and Lotions: Please remove all rings, bracelets, watches, and necklaces before class to prevent damage to the poles and injury to yourself. Avoid applying lotions or oils before class, as they can make the poles slippery.
• Spotting and Assistance: Do not attempt new moves without instructor supervision. Always follow the instructor's guidance when trying advanced moves. Do not attempt to assist any other student, even if you know them!
• Injury Reporting: If you experience any discomfort or injury during class, notify the instructor immediately.
• Health Considerations: If you feel unwell or have any pre-existing injuries, please inform the instructor before the class begins.

To ensure smooth class operations and respectful behavior, please adhere to the following procedures:

• Arrival: Please arrive 5–10 minutes before class to allow time to sign in and get set up at your space.
• Class Attire: Wear appropriate pole attire, including shorts and a sports bra or tank top. Loose or long clothing is discouraged as it may interfere with grip.
• Hydration: Bring a water bottle and stay hydrated throughout the class. (We do have drinking fountain in the studio if needed)
• Phone Use: Phones must be on silent or turned off during class to avoid distractions.
• Respectful Conduct: Be supportive and respectful toward fellow students and instructors. Negative behavior or inappropriate comments will not be tolerated.
