Late Cancel fee (6 hour window) – $18 or loss of credit
No Show fee – $18
We want to encourage students to cancel out of class, rather than not show up. This gives us an opportunity to fill the open spot in class.
If you make it into class from the waitlist, you are responsible for showing up or late cancelling.
Late Cancellations must be done through the app – as opposed to through our social media or instructors. If you have an emergency, please reach out to the studio directly at 406-534-6543 or by email at hi@liveblackorchid.com and we will make exceptions on a case-by-case basis.
We appreciate your cooperation with these policies.
All classes at Black Orchid are instructor lead. This means that every class has been uniquely designed with drills, flows, or poses for the duration of the class. We ask that students that choose to not participate in the prepared class, refrain from taking a bike or a mat in the front.
We also ask that students do not bring their cellphones into the class rooms and that smart watches are put into “theatre mode.”
Our instructors try their best to start classes on time so we ask that students plan accordingly and arrive early to class.
This agreement is signed by all students through the Black Orchid app prior to taking any class.
