ACKNOWLEDGE OF RISK AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY
Tumbling and dancing are physical activities that, like any other sport, involve certain
inherent risks. Those risks include, but are not limited to, muscle pain, bumps, bruises, strains,
broken bones, ligament injuries, and other personal injuries. Although rare, some injuries can be
serious in nature and even life threatening. The safety of its students is a priority for Rising Star
Tumbling & Dance Studio. However, the inherent risks of tumbling and dancing cannot be
eliminated without jeopardizing the essential quality of the activities. By signing below, you
acknowledge and assume all the risks involved in tumbling and/or dancing for yourself and the
student.
Rising Star does not carry medical insurance for its students. You are hereby advised
that your student should be covered by adequate insurance to cover any medical expenses or
other costs associated with potential personal injury that might occur while participating in
activities on Rising Star’s premises or other events sanctioned or approved by Rising Star.
Rising Star will not reimburse you for medical expenses or other costs.
In addition, Rising Star’s studios are often very busy during class hours. We are proud of
how respectful our students and their family members are to each other. Nevertheless, it is not
possible for Rising Star to monitor everybody. You and the student are solely responsible for
your own property. Rising Star is not responsible for any property loss or damage suffered by a
student, his or her family members, or anybody else while on Rising Star’s premises or during
Rising Star sanctioned or approved events.

read and understand this entire document. In consideration of you and the student being
permitted to participate in Rising Star classes and other events, you and the student hereby agree
to release Rising Star Tumbling & Dance Studio (otherwise known as RSTD Inc.) and its
affiliates, predecessors, successors, assigns, parents, subsidiaries, beneficiaries, subrogees,
principals, agents, partners, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, and associates from any
and all claims, actions, demands, causes of actions, liabilities, rights, damages, costs, and/or
expenses associated with personal injury or property loss, including but not limited to claims or
causes of action for negligence, that may be suffered while on Rising Star’s premises, during
participating in Rising Star classes, or while participating in other events and activities
sanctioned or approved by Rising Star. This release shall also include, but is not limited to,
personal injury, harm or any other damages caused acts of God; any natural disaster; plague;
epidemic; pandemic; outbreaks of infectious disease or any other public health crisis that might
be associated with participation in RSTD Inc. activities or physical attendance at RSTD Inc.
premises. You hereby acknowledge for yourself and your student that by signing this release,
you may be found by a court of law to have waived any right to maintain a lawsuit against Rising
Star and the parties named above on the basis of any claim that is hereby released.
