Rhythm & Rhinestones Policies

Class Policies

***My classes are now offered through Aisha Studios. Please see the Aisha Studios website for the most up-to-date class policies.**

~ LIABILITY WAIVER ~

By participating in these classes I agree to participate entirely at my own risk. Instruction in these classes does not constitute medical advice. I am aware of the risks associated with participating in these classes. Risks of participating in any movement class may include, but are not limited to, physical or psychological injury, pain, suffering, illness, disfigurement, temporary or permanent disability, economic or emotional loss, and death. I understand that these injuries or outcomes may arise from my own negligence, or the condition of the location in which I’m participating in these online classes. Nonetheless, I assume all related risks, both known or unknown to me, of my participation these classes.

~ COMMON DECENCY POLICY ~

By participating in these classes, you agree to treat all other students and the cultures bellydance comes from with respect. Yes, this includes using the correct pronouns and not saying microaggressions related to race/appearance/ability/gender/etc. If you make other students feel unsafe/uncomfortable, you will be asked to leave immediately. Don’t be a jerk, ok?

~ REFUND POLICY ~

If a class is cancelled by the instructor…

Should a class be cancelled by the instructor, you are entitled to a full refund (if you registered for a multi-week session, your refund will equal the session price divided by the number of classes). In some cases, Lina may offer a make up class as an alternate option (this may not always be possible). You can always choose to receive a refund instead of the makeup class if you’d prefer.


If you miss or cannot attend a class…

All sales are final and registration fees are non-refundable. However, having flexibility in your schedule and fitness routine is important for your overall health and balance, so you’ve got a few options depending on what type of class you registered for.

In-Person Classes

  • Join online instead of in-person (live or replay). Email me (lina@rhythmandrhinestones.com) at least 24 hours in advance and I’ll send you the Zoom link so that you can join the class live via Zoom. If you can’t make it live, no worries! I send the class replay to all online participants and you’ll have access to it for 7 days. *Please note, not all classes have a hybrid option. Please email me as soon as you know you’ll be missing class to have the best chance of an online option being available.
  • Invite a friend in your place. Transfer your registration to a friend so they can enjoy! Just email me (lina@rhythmandrhinestones.com) at least 24 hours with the name of the friend who will be joining in your place.

Sorry, no refunds or makeup in-person classes for missed classes. If you miss a class and forget to notify me of your choice at least 24 hours in advance, I can send you a recording of the missed class as a makeup (assuming a recording is available, which is not guaranteed).

Online Classes

No worries if you miss or can’t make an online class – a replay will be sent out to everyone who registered for the online class. The replay can be streamed online and you will have access to it for at least 7 days after it is emailed out.
