I choose to participate in classes, performances, workshops and other activities at Saorsa Studio of my own free will and certify that I am in proper physical condition to take part in such activities.

Waiver of Liability
I recognize and understand the risks of physical injury inherent to dance and dance training (whether joining online classes on in-person) and I fully assume those risks. I hereby release and forever discharge Saorsa Studio, their affiliates, managers, members, agents, attorneys, event sponsors, employees, volunteers, heirs, representatives, predecessors, successors, assigns and dance teachers from any physical or psychological injury, including but not limited to illness, paralysis, death, damages, economical or emotional loss, sustained or contracted while attending or participating in any dance classes, rehearsals, workshops, performances, or other activities related to my participation at Saorsa Studio. I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Saorsa Studio, employees and dance teachers for liabilities, costs and judgments arising from acts of omissions committed by me or my child which result in injury or damage to any person or property.
I understand that these injuries or outcomes may arise from my own or others’ negligence, conditions related to travel, or the condition of the activity location(s). Nonetheless, I assume all related risks, both known or unknown to me, of my participation in this activity, including travel to, from and during this activity.
I will not hold Saorsa Studio liable for any personal property damage, which may occur on the premises before, during or after classes. Furthermore, I agree to obey the class and facility rules and take full responsibility for my behavior in addition to any damage I may cause to the facilities utilized by Saorsa Studio. In. the event that any damage to equipment or facilities occurs as a result of my or my family’s willful actions, neglect or recklessness, I acknowledge and agree to be held liable for any and all costs associated with any actions of neglect or recklessness.
Hands-on Instruction
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 in 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.
Medical Attention
In case of physical injury or medical emergency, I hereby authorize Saorsa Studio to make necessary arrangements to transport myself or my child to a medical treatment facility as necessary. All such transportation and medical treatment will be at my sole cost and expense. In extreme emergency, or if my child is under 18 years of age, I understand that Saorsa Studio will attempt to notify the person(s) I have named below as my emergency contact(s) of my condition and how to reach me.

Saorsa Studio reserves the right to use photographs and videos taken during classes, workshops, performances, or other affiliated events for the purposes of instruction, advertising and promoting Saorsa Studio and its programs. Students, or parents of students who are minors, who do not wish to comply with this policy must notify Saorsa Studio prior to participation in class.
If I do not consent to being photographed or video-recorded, I will make sure the director is aware of my concerns and I will be proactive about avoiding being photographed or recorded, and I will hold Saorsa Studio harmless if a photo or video recording of me is released despite all precautions. I understand that this choice may limit my participation in performances that are routinely photographed and/or videotaped.
