Last updated March 6, 2025
triAL CLASSES
Students are permitted one trial class in two different classes per year. (Example. One trial class is used for the AcroTumbling class, and the second can be used for the Aerial Hammock class.)
Trial classes are $10 each class. The admin will charge your card after registering for a trial class.

PAYMENT POLICY
Your monthly payment is an installment of your yearly tuition. Each month will cost the same amount regardless of the number of classes in that month.
​
Class payments are auto-drafted on the 1st of each month. Declined payments will be charged an automatic $10 penalty fee. For families who use cash only, your tuition is due on the first class of the month. Mobile payment methods (CashApp, Venmo, PayPal, etc) must pay their tuition on the 1st of each month and include a $5 transfer fee. Students who are not up-to-date with their payments cannot participate in class.
There is a $35 annual student registration fee for students or a $60 annual family registration fee for two or more family members. A new registration fee will be due for 2024-2025 classes if your student continues for the upcoming year. Students enrolled in multiple classes or families with multiple students receive a 5% discount on their second, third, etc classes. Their first class is full-price.
​
All payments are nonrefundable. Unused payments can be transferred to another class or service.

​
withdrawal policy
​​​​​​Families who want to withdraw from classes at Catapult Movement must email the office at admin@catapultmovementllc.com one week before the next payment is due. Accounts will still be charged if notice is not given before these seven days. All payments are nonrefundable but can be used towards other services/classes for the 2024-2025 year.
Not attending class is not an accepted way to withdraw. Late fees will still apply if a family does not make their payment on time. Fees will continue to incur, and these fees must be paid in full for the family to return to Catapult Movement.
Makeup classes
When you miss a class (or if a holiday falls on one of your classes), you are welcome to come to a make-up class to substitute the missed class. For a list of possible make-up classes, view the Make-Up Class Chart.

Private LessonS & Classes

​
Payment must be made before a lesson can begin.
​
Please notify the office if you expect to be late or miss a previously scheduled lesson.
​
If a coach arrives for a lesson and the participant hasn't arrived and cannot be reached, the coach will wait up to 15 minutes. If the coach cannot reach the participant after 15 minutes, the coach will postpone the lesson, and the student will owe a $25 no-show fee.
If a tardy participant arrives within their scheduled lesson, the coach may conduct a shortened lesson in the remaining scheduled time. For example, if the participant arrives 10 minutes late for a one-hour lesson, they will receive a 50-minute lesson.

DRESS CODe
For AcroDance, Tumbling, Parkour and/or Flexibility classes:
1. Please wear fitted athletic clothes or a leotard with shorts/tights.
2. Hair should be pulled out of the face in a ponytail or bun.
3. Jazz shoes are required for all Acro classes. Socks are not needed in class.
​​
​​
For All Aerial classes:
1. Remove all jewelry (earrings, rings, bracelets, anklets, chokers, necklaces, etc) before entering class. Jewelry can get stuck and rip our fabric. It can also get caught and hurt your student. If your student has newly pierced ears and cannot remove their earrings, please cover their earrings with band-aids. Parents must provide these band-aids for their own students. Catapult will not provide band-aids on a weekly basis for each student. If a student has permanent jewelry, please tape it down to your body.
2. Do not wear long, acrylic nails in aerial classes, as they can rip the fabric and prevent a safe, firm grip on the apparatus. Please keep fingernails and toenails clipped low for classes.
3. Do not wear clothing with zippers or sequins because this damages the aerial fabric.
4. Students should wear leotards with sleeves (preferred) or fitted athletic clothes. Extra hang from t-shirts can get stuck in fabric apparatus. Under the arms is a common grip point for aerial and can be prone to irritation/redness/bruising. Stomachs should be covered to protect the skin.
5. Bottoms (leggings, tights, etc) should cover the back of the knees to protect the skin behind the knees. This is a common grip point for aerial and is prone to irritation/redness/bruising.
6. Hair should be put in a bun or in two braids. Ponytails can get caught and pulled in fabric apparatus.
7. Shoes should not be worn on aerial apparatus. Grippy socks are permitted, but not required.
​
**If you are in an Acro/Aerial class you must follow both dress codes

Symptoms include, but not limited to fever, sore throat, coughing, aches, respiratory problems, dry cough, fatigue, diarrhea, loss of taste or smell, chest pain, rash on skin, discoloration of fingers or toes, and headache. We ask that the same caution is used for public classes.
