DeHart, individually, (hereinafter referred to as releasees) from any and all liability, expenses, damages, claims, demands, actions and causes of action whatsoever arising out of or related to any loss, damage, injury, or expenses due to injuries, that may be sustained by the undersigned, or any of the property belonging to the undersigned, whether caused by the negligence of the releasees, or otherwise, while participating in dance class, or participating during other dance activities sponsored by the Company, or while in, on or upon the Company's premises.

The undersigned hereby further agrees that this Release of Liability and Hold Harmless Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri.
5. Media. Company has my permission to use my photograph publicly to promote the studio. The undersigned understands that images may be used in print, website and social media.
