RELEASE, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY
Participation in dance classes is a physical activity and there are risks of physical injury associated with dancing. By
signing this agreement, I hereby assume the risk of participation in such physical activity and it is my responsibility to consult
with my healthcare provider to determine if I or my child is in proper health and physical condition to take part in such classes.
By signing this agreement, I also understand there are risks of physical injury associated with, arising out of, and
inherent to dancing. These risks include, but not are not limited to: potential for slips and falls, sprains, strains, dislocations, soft
tissue injuries, musculoskeletal injuries, and podiatric conditions. I further understand that dance education sometimes requires
hands-on instruction as well as verbal instruction. Instructors may correct dancers by touching their arms, legs, feet, hips, back
and head to move them into the correct position. I acknowledge that this is a common standard in dance instruction and
understand that it is my responsibility to communicate clearly with my teacher and/or the director if any form of touch is
unacceptable to me.
WPAS, LLC (hereinafter “Studioâ€) has taken preventative measures and precautions in order to provide in person dance
instruction and other performing arts instruction and avoid the spread of Covid-19; however, the Studio cannot guarantee that
you or your child(ren) will not become infected. Participation is voluntary. By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the
contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my child(ren) and I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-
19 by participating in lessons and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and
death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at the Studio may result from the actions,
omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to teachers, staff, students and their families. I
voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury, to my child(ren) and myself;
including, but not limited to: personal injury, disability, death, illness, and damages of any kind, that I or my child(ren) may
experience or incur in connection with my child(ren)’s attendance and participation in dance lessons.
By signing this agreement, I hereby assume the risk of participation, release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold
harmless and indemnify the Studio, its owners, employees, agents, contractors, successors and assigns, of and from any and all
claims, causes of actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind including attorney fees, now existing or which may hereafter
arise out of or relating to my or my child’s participation in dance and/or performing arts instruction. I understand and agree that
this release includes any claims based on the actions, omissions, and negligence of the Studio, its owners, employees, agents, and
contractors.
