Columbia Dance Waiver of Claim and Release of Liability

I/We realize an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. COVID-19 is a contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. By visiting Columbia Dance, I/we voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19. I understand that there are NO refunds for registration fees, costume fees or classes. I understand that if my dancer’s class gets rescheduled or moved to a virtual format due to weather, sickness, or any issues arising from COVID-19 there is no refund for these re-scheduled classes.

I/We agree to keep our student home and inform Columbia Dance if they have been diagnosed with COVID-19 (have not recovered or are still within the required 14-day quarantine), had symptoms of COVID-19 (cough, shortness of breath, fever, sore throat, headache, loss of taste or smell, vomiting or diarrhea within the last 24 hours), or had contact with a person that has or is suspected to have COVID-19 (within the last 14 days). Columbia Dance is committed to providing the safest environment possible through building updates, increased sanitation, screening protocols, social distancing, mask wearing, and staff training. In return we expect our community to report any potential exposure so that we can do our part to keep our community healthy.

I/We realize that participation in dance classes and Columbia Dance activities could involve some possible personal injury. Despite precautions, accidents and injuries may occur. By signing this release form, I/we (the dancer and parent/guardian) assume all risks related to the use of any and all spaces used by Columbia Dance Center. I/We assume all risks of participation including, but not limited to, onsite and offsite activities.

I/We agree to release and hold harmless Columbia Dance Center, including its teachers, dancers, staff members, directors and facilities used by both entities from any cause of action, claims, or demands, as a result of my/our participation in any activity of any type with Columbia Dance Center. I/We will not hold Columbia Dance Center liable for any personal injury or any personal property damage, which may occur on the premises before, during or after classes. Furthermore, I/we agree to obey the class and facility rules and take full responsibility for my/our behavior in addition to any damage I/we may cause to the facilities utilized by Columbia Dance Center.

Photo and Video Release:

I/We hereby grant and convey unto Columbia Dance Center all right, title and interest in any and all photographic images and video or audio recordings made by Columbia Dance Center during the undersigned’s participation in Columbia Dance Center activities.

I give "Columbia Dance" the right to use my students’ photo(s) and video(s) in marketing for future classes and camps.
*If you would prefer to not have your child's image used, please email Columbia Dance directly to be added to the NO PHOTO list.

It is our school policy that we are unable to offer tuition prorates or refunds for missed classes. Refunds will be made only in cases of prolonged illness, extended leave of absence, or physical disability. Classes may be cancelled and students guided to another class if insufficient enrollment. Notice will be given prior to cancelling. Students who carry an unpaid balance on their account for more than 60 days will not be allowed to participate in classes unless payment of the outstanding balance is made in full, or unless suitable arrangements have been arranged with the School Manager and a good faith effort is being made to pay the balance. Also, students with an outstanding balance from the previous school year must pay their balance in full before registering for classes for the upcoming school year. If the balance cannot be paid in full, a suitable arrangement must be made for payment of the balance, and they must enroll in monthly autopay to stay current on present-year tuition.

By hitting the “I agree” button below, I confirm I have read, and agree, to the terms and conditions of participation.
