ASSUMPTION OF RISK
I understand that by being a participant in CW DANCE COMPANY activities, that:
A. I will have the opportunity to participate in various activities, including dance classes, workshops, rehearsals and performances, held at CW DANCE COMPANY. I will receive information and instruction about dance and other related activities. I understand that by participating in any of these activities, that I may be subjected to a variety of hazards and risks, foreseen or unforeseen, which may cause me to suffer property damage, injury or death (DAMAGES). I know that these DAMAGES can occur due to natural causes, the active or passive negligence of CW DANCE COMPANY, or the negligent or intentional acts of third parties and/or fellow participants. I understand that I should therefore exercise extra care for my own person. I choose to participate in CW DANCE COMPANY School activities, agree to pay the required costs therefore, and voluntarily assume the risks of such DAMAGES occurring while I am participating in CW DANCE COMPANY activities.
B. CW DANCE COMPANY may at times deliver participants to various third parties, who are not CW DANCE COMPANY employees, who will conduct, supervise, guide or instruct participants in various activities.

Participant agrees to release, indemnify and hold harmless CW DANCE COMPANY for liability for DAMAGES arising out of negligence of such third parties.
C. I recognize that dance and all related activities require intense physical exertion that may be strenuous and may cause physical injury and therefore involve unique risks of DAMAGES, and I am fully aware of the risks and hazards involved. I understand the nature of Marley floors, mobile floor bars and other dance equipment, and the consequences of wearing ballet slippers, pointe shoes, socks or bare feet and other related dance footwear, and I accept full responsibility for my own choice of footwear. I am satisfied with the condition of CW DANCE COMPANYS facilities and hereby assume all the risks inherent in the activities there. I voluntarily assume the risks of any and all DAMAGES I may incur at CW DANCE COMPANY, unless such DAMAGES are directly related to the negligent operation of the facilities by CW DANCE COMPANY.
