The Dance Conservatory of North Atlanta
PARTICIPANT RELEASE & WAIVER OF LIABILITY
I choose to participate in classes, performances, workshops, and other activities at The Dance
Conservatory of North Atlanta (TDC) of my own free will and certify that I am in proper physical
condition to take part in such activities.
If I have questions about whether an activity is suitable for me to pursue, I will consult my
health care provider in making that decision. If I have any known physical vulnerabilities,
conditions, or injuries, I agree to discuss them with the director before participating.
Release
By signing this document, I release The Dance Conservatory of North Atlanta and their directors,
owners, students, teachers, staff, employees, volunteers, associates (collectively referred to in
this document as "TDC") from any liability or claim that I or my representatives may have
against TDC with respect to any bodily injury, personal injury, illness, death, or property loss or
damage that may result from my participation at TDC.
I voluntarily release and forever discharge and hold harmless TDC from any and all claims or
demands for damages, loss of services, costs and expenses, injuries, attorney fees, and any
other call for reparation from any and all injury to me or my property arising in any way from
my participation in dance classes, camps, intensives, workshops, performances, troupes, the
use of TDC equipment or facilities, and any activities associated with TDC.
Risks
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 TDC. My participation at
TDC 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.
Medical Treatment and Insurance
I understand that TDC does not assume any responsibility for or obligation to provide financial
or other assistance in the event of injury or illness, including but not limited to medical, health, or
disability insurance or support.
I authorize TDC to obtain necessary medical or dental treatment, including first aid, ambulance
transport, hospitalization, or such other care necessary for my health and welfare in an
emergency. If my insurance does not cover emergency treatment that is deemed necessary and
sought for me by TDC, I agree to be responsible for and pay all costs incurred on my behalf.
I release and discharge TDC from any claim which may arise on account of any first aid,
treatment, or service rendered in connection with my participation in TDC activities or with
the decision by any representative or agent of TDC to consent to medical or dental treatment
on my behalf in an emergency.
I understand that TDC does not carry or maintain health, medical, dental, or disability
insurance coverage for any participant. I agree to take responsibility for full payment of any
emergency medical or dental costs related to my TDC participation regardless of whether I
have insurance coverage.
Photographic Release
I understand that TDC may take photo and video recordings of me during my participation in
TDC classes and activities. I convey to TDC 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 director
is aware of my concerns and the reasons for them, I will be proactive about avoiding being
photographed or recorded, and I will hold TDC 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.
Miscellaneous
While a participant at TDC, I agree to abide by any rules, codes, and policies that are put in
place by TDC before or at any time during my participation. If I have questions or
concerns regarding any policies or decisions made by any representative of TDC, I agree
to bring them promptly and specifically to the director's attention.
