I understand that there are risks of physical injury associated with, arising out of, and inherent to dancing. These risks include the potential for slips and falls, sprains, strains, dislocations, soft tissue injuries, musculoskeletal injuries, podiatric conditions, and other risks not specified here.

Understanding these risks and the potential for others not listed, I agree to personally accept and assume all of the risks present in my participation at VDS. My participation at VDS is entirely voluntary, and I choose to participate in spite of the risks.

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.

I understand that VDS may take photo and video recordings of my dancer during my participation in VDS classes and activities. I convey to VDS full rights and interest in these recordings. I understand such recordings may be used in advertising or other published materials, physical or virtual.

If I do NOT consent to being photographed or video-recorded, I will make sure the studio owner is aware of my concerns and the reasons for them. I will be proactive about avoiding being photographed or recorded, and I will hold VDS 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.
