“Act of God†Policies - MVMT will follow the CDC and state guidelines. I understand it is my choice to allow my child(ren) to participate in any MVMT Dance Center activity, including but not limited to Virtual filming, online dance classes taught via Zoom, Summer Dance Camps, and/or in person dance classes at the studio. I realize while enhanced safety precautions are being taken at MVMT Dance Center, an inherent risk of exposures exists in any public place where people are present. According to the CDC, senior citizens, and guests with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable. By visiting MVMT Dance Center and allowing my child(ren) to participate in studio activities, I voluntarily assume all risks associated with exposures. I understand that MVMT Dance Center is not responsible for pre-screening or monitoring individuals, but will do so as they see fit. (i.e. taking temperatures, etc) We do however, encourage all adults to self-screen themselves and their child(ren) at home prior to going out in public.
I have read all of the school policies and agree to observe the rules set forward in this Policy Agreement & the Parent & Studio Handbook. I understand that there are inherent risks involved in dance/acrobatics and will not hold MVMT Dance Center LLC, its directors & instructors, responsible for any injuries, illnesses or damages resulting from participation.
