GUIDELINES FOR HARMONIOUS LIVING
-
NO peer teaching - If you do not remember how to execute a move, you need to ask your instructor during a class. Do NOT ask your friend. Do NOT ask the teacher hosting Practice Time. Practice Time is not educational time, It is strictly for practice.
-
Work ONLY on moves you have learned at AerialCLT from an AerialCLT instructor.
-
If you can not remember how to do a skill, do not try to review and reteach yourself from class videos. (This is just as bad as learning from YouTube or Instagram)
-
Always work over a panel mat or crash mat. No exceptions.
-
NO peer teaching
-
You must attend at least 1 regularly scheduled aerial class per week if you are attending practice time. In order to be safe practicing alone, you must continue your aerial education in at least 1 class a week in the apparatus that you will be practicing on.
-
Creativity is encouraged, HOWEVER do not try to teach yourself moves from YouTube or any other source. This is unsafe and if you do this, you will no longer be permitted to attend practice time.
-
Please do not play amplified music. This can be distracting to other classes. Bring ear buds if you are working on a piece. We recommend investing in some nice blue tooth ear buds!
-
NO peer teaching
-
Must be 18 years and up unless in performance prep.
-
If you have or witness an accident in practice time, an instructor from the nearest class must be notified immediately.
-
Oh yeah, and did we mention - NO peer teaching?
PRACTICE TIME
For Private Track, Performance Prep and Intermediate I and higher students.
