Ground Rules and Code of Conduct
The SCC is located at the Mt. Baker Lofts with Syed Taqi being a current resident. Members or member guests are considered a house guest of Syed Taqi at the Mt. Baker Lofts. It is required to act in a respectful manner to all residents and neighbors. There is no smoking or consumption of alcoholic beverage. Please keep the area clean- do not leave personal items unattended in the lobby and do not wander on the grounds. Do not sing and dance after 9:45pm. See the attached document for the official guidelines for Seattle Capoeira Center.
Use of Facility
The SCC is a no shoes facility. Please keep our space clean and better than before you came. We also have a community room available for workshops and special events. The community room is for registered students/guests of Syed Taqi during scheduled class hours for public group training. Additional private lessons must be scheduled through the staff. Usage of the center and community room is prohibited without a designated teacher present.
Ongoing Agreements
The SCC has various contract agreements to choose from. Your monthly tuition reserves your space as a member of the SCC. A student may withdraw from lessons at any time for any reason with a month to month contract. However, students are expected to make monthly tuition payments until withdrawing from lessons by submitting a written 30 day notice from their final tuition payment. All 3 month, 6 month and 12 month contracts and membership terms must be completed.
Once a student has withdrawn from lessons, there will be a $35.00 re-registration fee to re-enroll students. In the event that a student is seriously ill or injured, freezing their agreement and tuition can be negotiated with staff. A physician’s note will be required for documentation to freeze the contract agreement. Missing or not showing up for scheduled lessons does not constitute notice of withdrawal from lessons. Absolutely no refunds for all tuition payments. Regular attendance is essential for success.
Guests and Trial Classes
Most of our membership is through community outreach and referrals from students. Students are welcome to bring a guest who is interested in joining the SCC. Guests will receive 1 complimentary trial class when attending with a registered member.
