Class Etiquette

General Etiquette Tips For Participants: (A list that will grow)

• Please arrive on time for class
• If it is a class with equipment, please arrive early to allow time to set up

• If you are late to class please find an empty space 
• It may not be possible to get a spot in the vicinity that you normally like to stand 

• It is rude and distracting to the instructor and participants to do your own choreography during a class
• The instructor should offer modifications
• Please use the modifications that are offered when needed.
• They are higher and lower impact versions of the exercises being performed
• Ex: Jumping jacks can be a side tap or flick not a grapevine
• Ex: Repeater on the step can be done on the floor or by adding propulsion rather than you going across the top while everyone else does repeaters
• If you don't like the choreography, it is OK to leave quietly. We can't please everyone

• Please do not wear your ipod/headphones during class. If you didn't come to do the workout to the music as it is being delivered, please do your own workout outside of class
• When you are wearing your ipod/headphones, you cannot hear the instructor
• You are missing all of the safety cues, and we can't be held responsible if you get hurt
• It's also rude and you look like an a$$. Just sayin'

• Please do not hoard equipment
• I know that classes can get crowded but we all need to share
• Please only take extra equipment if it is available
• The equipment is for everyone not just you
• If the instructor is hoarding equipment, please contact me and I'll talk to them

• Cell Phones
• Please do not talk on your phone during class
• If you get a call, please take it outside of the studio
• Yes I have actually had people talking on their phone during class and yes I have stopped the music and asked them to take it outside. Something that should have been common sense.

• Talking During Class
• Please do not talk loudly to your friends/neighbor(s) during class
• It is highly distracting to the instructor and participants
