Wear something stretchy such as a t-shirt, leotard, shorts, or leggings, with socks or rhythmic shoes, and don’t forget a water bottle.

Additional trial classes can be taken for $40 per class.
- TuitionTuition is automatically charged on the 1st of each month using the card on file in the Parent Portal account.
Monthly tuition is based on a four-week calendar. Tuition remains the same regardless of whether a month has additional class days or fewer class days due to scheduled breaks or holidays. Please note, we do not offer makeup class for days there are schedules breaks. We also do not refund or prorate tuition for missed classes due to personal travel. - Late Pick-UpTo ensure the safety of our students and to respect our coaches’ time, Bravo Rhythmic has a late pick-up policy in place. Families are given a 5-minute grace period at the end of class. After the grace period, a late fee of $2 per minute will be applied until your child is picked up. We kindly ask all families to plan accordingly and arrive on time.
- Pausing EnrollmentIf you plan to travel, please note that we are unable to place enrollments on hold. You may choose to cancel your enrollment and re-register upon your return; however, we cannot guarantee that your spot in the class will be available during your absence.
- Makeup ClassesParents of competing gymnasts are accountable for covering the costs associated with their coaches' participation in competitions, including travel expenses, such as transportation, food, and lodging. The fees and expenses of coaches are shared equally among all gymnasts attending the event.
- Cancellation PolicyTo cancel your enrollment, please email us at info@bravorhythmic.com at least two weeks in advance to avoid being charged for the following month.
Please note: Xcel, DVP, and FIG programs run on an 11-month schedule from the beginning of August through the end of June. Memberships for these programs cannot be canceled before the end of June. - Gym Safety and Carpet AccessFor the safety of all our athletes, gymnasts may only be on the gym floor (carpet) when invited by a coach for their scheduled class. As a USA Gymnastics member club, our coaches are responsible for supervising children during their scheduled class time only. Before class begins and after class ends, children must remain under the supervision of a parent or guardian.
We also kindly ask parents to keep a close eye on siblings and other young visitors during drop-off and pick-up. For everyone's safety, use of the gym floor, rhythmic equipment, or practicing gymnastics skills outside of coach supervision is not permitted. - Sportsmanship and BehaviorWe strive to provide a safe, positive, and respectful environment for every gymnast. Coaches are responsible for maintaining a productive class and expect gymnasts to listen, follow directions, and treat coaches and teammates with respect.
If a gymnast's behavior becomes disruptive, disrespectful, or unsafe, coaches will provide reminders and opportunities to correct the behavior. If the behavior continues after two verbal warnings, the gymnast may be asked to sit out or leave practice early and parents may be contacted when appropriate.
