Studio & class Policies

Waiver

All students will need a new paper waiver signed in person. Underage students must have this waiver signed by a legal guardian. If your child is carpooling on the first day with another family, please email 48 hours in advance to receive an electronic waiver for them to be able to participate in their first class.

ATTENDANCE & Conduct

  • Arrive 10-15 minutes early to class to meet your instructor in the main lobby. Once the class begin, instructors are not able to accommodate late arrivals. Example, if your class starts at 5:30pm, you should arrive at 5:15pm.

  • We are a body neutral gym. Everyone comes as they are, and we celebrate accomplishments while respecting our bodies' limits.

  • BEVC is part of a rich community of artists at the Collingwood Art Center. We agree to support all rules the CAC asks of us, and respect the building and other residents by acting as pillars of excellence and stewardship.

Observing A Class

There are no observers allowed in class; parents/guardians may wait for their child in the hallway where they can observe class through the open door.

Picture/ Video Taking

Pictures and videos may only be taken after getting permission from a fellow student or instructor. You may take as many photos or videos of yourself as you’d like. BEVC may record video and take pictures during classes for marketing purposes, if you do not want to be recorded or photographed, please alert the staff.

Open Gym

All students must have teacher permission before attending open gym.  Please read our full policy on our OPEN GYM page. 

Cancellation Policy

Courses Canceled by the Studio

Courses with three or fewer students enrolled are subject to cancellation at the instructor's discretion. The credit for the canceled course will be returned to your CircusDB account so that you may sign up for a different course. If no other courses meet your needs, please email hello@birdseyeviewcircus.com to discuss options.

Full Course Enrollment or Workshop Reservation Canceled by the Student

Cancellation requests submitted 14 days or more before the start date of the course will be refunded via PayPal minus a $5 processing fee (per student, per course). Full session cancellation requests submitted 7 days or more before the start date of the course will be refunded at 50% of the course price via Paypal. No refunds, credits, pro-rating, or exchanges will be issued for cancellation requests submitted less than 7 days before the start of the course. To submit your request for a refund, please email.

Absences

There are no makeups, transfers, refunds, credits, or pro-rating for absences, planned or otherwise. Once you have enrolled in a course, you have reserved equipment and instruction time. Whether you chose to attend or not is up to you. If possible, we ask that you please cancel your reservation in CircusDB to help our instructors know whether to expect and plan for you. There is a green “cancel” button next to each date you are enrolled.
