I understand that it is my responsibility to consult with a physician prior to my child participating in any activities with Georgetown Dance Company and I represent that my child does not have a medical condition that would preclude safe participation. I acknowledge that I am aware that participating in dance or movement classes or activities involves inherent risks of personal injury and despite any precautions taken, accidents or injuries may occur. By signing this release, I assume all risks in connection with my child participating in dance or other activities with Georgetown Dance Company, the use of any and all spaces or facilities used by Georgetown Dance Company and any related travel.

On behalf of myself, my heirs, next of kin, executors, administrators, representatives and assigns, I release and waive all claims and the right to bring suit against Georgetown Dance Company and its representatives and agents, successors or assigns, including, without limitation, managers, employees, teachers, dancers, staff members, owners and volunteers (collectively “Georgetown Dance Company”) from any and all claims, causes of action, losses, injuries, damages or costs, including any claim for damages for personal injury or personal property damage, arising out of or in connection with participating in dance or other activities with Georgetown Dance Company, including any medical care provided.

By signing this Agreement, I agree that I am voluntarily assuming any and all COVID-19 health risks or financial risks associated with my child and I participating in Georgetown Dance Company activities, including contracting COVID-19, severe illness, death or transmission of COVID-19 and accept full responsibility for any and all such damage and injury.

My Obligations: I understand that Georgetown Dance Company may be implementing various practices and procedures, as may be updated from time to time, aiming to minimize the risk of contracting COVID-19 by any dancers, participants, parents or others involved in Georgetown Dance Company activities. These practices and procedures may be communicated verbally, in writing, by email, on a webpage and/or posted on signs. I agree that my child and I will abide by these practices and procedures, including, for example, temperature checks, wearing face coverings, and physical distancing. I agree to not attend or have my child participate in any Georgetown Dance Company activities if I or my child or anyone in our household is experiencing a fever or other symptoms.
