Parents are to understand that dance is a physical activity; demonstration of exercises and personal correction may require some physical contact to assist understanding of movement. Physical contact may be required to administer first aid. Parents agree that they will inform the teacher if, at any time, their child's capacity to move is restricted and if they are unable to participate fully in a particular movement or activity. In the event of an emergency, and where the emergency contacts cannot be contacted rapidly, parents & guardians authorise Cammeray Dance Academy to seek medical attention from a hospital.
