Studio Safety Rules
Before your first class…
- Everyone must sign a waiver/release form before attending class, training or use any Sky Candy apparatus
- Please throughly read through our safety guidelines and ask for clarification if you have any questions
Every time you take a class or train…
- NEVER train alone and ALWAYS use a crash mat.
- Do not consume alcohol before class or training; drug use is prohibited. If you are under the influence of any substance, you will be asked to leave.
- Do not wear jewelry, grommets or any other objects that can snag or tear the equipment.
- Do not attempt to rig any equipment. Please ask a trained member of the Sky Candy staff.
- Never walk under an apparatus while in use; always be aware of your surroundings.
- Please take care to properly warm up and cool down and stay hydrated.
- Don’t take unnecessary risks, ask for assistance if you are unsure about a move or trick.
- Be respectful to the teachers, employees and your fellow students.
- Respect your environment; no shoes on the mats or apparatus.
- Wear appropriate footwear when walking around outside of the Sky Candy studio
During Open Studio, everyone must observe the following…
- Open Studio is intended to be a forum to practice what you learn in class; do not attempt to try new moves or teach other students new moves.
- Due to the nature of Open Studio, there is no guarantee of available rig points or apparatuses, as student attendance can vary greatly from session to session. We ask that participants treat each other with consideration and share apparatuses and crash mats. Remember, you cannot train without a crash mat under you!
- All students must pass an evaluation before attending Open Studio; please see your instructor.
All Sky Candy studio safety guidelines apply to all Sky Candy participants, including collective members, instructors, resident performers, students and guests. Failure to adhere to our safety guidelines may result in — but is not limited to — a warning, dismissal from class without a refund, or termination of resident performer privileges. We take safety very seriously and strive to take every precaution to ensure that our community of aerialists can stay fly for a long time.
