TRADING CLASS SPACES
At Dynamite, we understand that life happens. For this reason, we offer tokens as a courtesy for missed classes. To create more spaces and maximize makeup options for everyone, we require that families report absences at least 48 hours in advance to provide adequate notice to other families; however, the more notice, the better! Makeup tokens expire when class enrollment ends and have no monetary value.
*Makeup tokens do not have monetary value and are not available for team or preteam athletes*

Report your absences!
ABSENCE NOTIFICATION RULES
Classes and makeups absences must be reported AT LEAST 48 HOURS prior to the class, camp or event.
Missing your scheduled class? Log into the parent portal and click on Future Absences under Enrollments in the menu on the left.
Using your makeups for class, camp or an event but can't make it? Email us at hello@dynamitegc.com.
The purpose of a makeup is to offer alternatives for emergencies and scheduling conflicts . As our classes grow and become full, makeup options become scarce. So many families already call to let us know that they will be out, but we would like to make it easier (hence, the form).
Please provide as much notice as possible. More notice increases the probability that another student will have ample time to schedule a makeup in your child's vacant spot. Everyone needs to work together to share class spots when students aren't using them.
Of course, we understand if you have an emergency and ask that you inform the gym as soon as you realize your student will not be attending.
Please note that serial absences with no notification may result in makeups not being granted.

making the most of your absences
use makeups for more than just classes
Dynamite grants UNLIMITED makeups for missed classes that can be used for classes, camp, open gyms, and events for the student, siblings or friends. Dynamite makeups can also be used at Bolt Parkour, The Agility Center, or Dynamite Tumbling & Cheer. Abuse of our liberal makeup policy may result in makeups no longer being granted and reimbursement for erroneously accumulated or redeemed makeups.
makeup rules
Makeups accumulate and may be redeemed while the student is enrolled; any makeups remaining once enrollment ends will be forfeited.
Class absences must be reported AT LEAST 24 HOURS prior to the start of class. The purpose of a makeup is to offer flexibility; however, other students need to have the option of using the vacant spot which is only possible with advance notice. Of course, we understand if you have an emergency; however, serial absences with no notification may result in makeups not being granted.
Once a makeup is scheduled, whether or not your student attends, the makeup will be considered redeemed--whether for a makeup class, or camp, open gym or event. Please wait for confirmation before showing up for your makeup.
While we permit parents to schedule makeups in advance, parents are responsible for reimbursing the trial rate or regular cost of open gyms, events or camp days for any makeups used beyond the number of makeups earned upon discontinuing enrollment.
Makeup tokens are NOT available for preteam or team athletes.
redeeming makeups
To apply makeups towards camp days or events, please contact the gym directly at hello@dynamitegc.com or 301.770.2700. Please include MAKEUP REDEMPTION REQUEST in the subject line so we don't miss it!

the ultimate flexibility
Our makeup system provides flexibility by allowing students to use spots left by other absent students. For the system to work, we request an advanced absence notification via the parent portal at least 48 hours’ notice. Tokens can be redeemed as long as the student is continuously enrolled.
Once a student gives timely notice and is marked absent, the system will automatically grant a token. Parents can use the parent portal to request to redeem the token for a different class during the week. We also reserve a few spots in open gym sessions, camp, and special events (please send an email to hello@dynamitegc.com to redeem tokens). Tokens can be used for friends and siblings, and at any of our partner gyms.
Please note that class tuition secures a spot and does not pay for a certain number of classes. Makeup tokens are provided as a courtesy and can only be redeemed when we have space.
Contact the gym of your choice to exchange makeup tokens.

CAMP MAKE-UP RULES
Makeup tokens may ONLY be used for daily camp days which include "School's Out" camp during the academic year or summer camp through the first week in July. Makeup tokens may NOT be used for partial camp days. For example, if your camper wants to attend for the full day, 6 makeup tokens are required to cover the entire cost of the full-day camp day. If you only have 4 makeups, you may sign your child up for half day, but not full day.
