In Motion Studios manages classes during hot and extreme weather conditions to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our students and staff.

IMS actively monitors weather conditions and studio environments. On warmer days, teachers may modify classes by reducing intensity, adjusting warm-ups and across-the-floor work, increasing rest and hydration breaks, and focusing on technique, musicality, theory, or choreography rather than stamina-based exercises. Studios will be ventilated with the roller door and back door open, where possible, and students must bring a clearly labelled water bottle to every class.

When the forecast temperature is 33°C or above, IMS may implement shortened or modified classes, particularly for younger age groups (3–7 years), where heat sensitivity is higher.
If the Studio temperature reaches 35°C or above, IMS reserves the right to cancel classes for the day or evening where conditions are deemed unsafe.

Any class changes or cancellations will be communicated via our usual IMS channels (text message, parent portal, and our closed group facebook pages, with notice provided as early as possible on the day.

Students who feel dizzy, unwell, or overheated should notify their teacher immediately. Families are encouraged to use their discretion on very hot days, and IMS supports parents who choose to keep their child home during extreme heat. Where classes are cancelled by IMS due to heat, make-up arrangements will be advised where possible. If a suitable make up class can not be taken due to scheduling a credit will be applied to your next termly invoice.  The credits will be capped at 2 classes per term. 

Dear IMS Families, 

We wanted to share some very sad personal news with you. As many of you know, our family was expecting a new baby in the middle of this year. Sadly, we have experienced the heartbreaking loss of our baby.

This has been an incredibly difficult time for our family as we navigate our grief and support our children through theirs.  I am taking some time away to process and heal, and we truly appreciate your patience, kindness and understanding in my absence. 

IMS is such a special community to us. Your quiet support, compassion and care mean more than we can say.  Thank you for holding space for our family during this time.

Warm regards,
Skye, Dave, Lainey & Teddy x
