Parental Consent and Liability Release Agreement

I, the undersigned, am the parent and/or legal guardian of the child listed below (“Participant”).

I give permission for my child to participate in classes, rehearsals, performances, competitions, camps, events, and all programs offered through Concrete Elite Dance Company (“CEDC”). I understand that activities, instruction, and programming may vary and may involve physical activity and exertion.

I acknowledge that participation in dance and related activities involves inherent risks, including but not limited to falls, physical contact, stretching, movement-related injuries, equipment-related injuries, exposure to illness or communicable disease, and other known or unknown risks that may result in injury, illness, emotional stress, property damage, or, in rare cases, serious injury.

I voluntarily assume all risks associated with participation and understand that these risks may arise from negligence, accidents, equipment failure, facility conditions, the actions of others, or other causes.

I certify that my child is physically able to safely participate and that I will inform CEDC of any medical conditions, allergies, injuries, restrictions, or concerns that may affect participation.

In consideration for participation in CEDC activities and use of studio facilities, I release, waive, and hold harmless Concrete Elite Dance Company, its owners, employees, instructors, volunteers, independent contractors, affiliates, and representatives from and against any and all claims, liabilities, demands, damages, costs, or causes of action arising out of or related to participation in studio activities, including those resulting from ordinary negligence, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

I understand that CEDC does not provide medical or accident insurance coverage for participants and that I am responsible for maintaining appropriate insurance coverage for my child.

In the event of illness, injury, or emergency, I authorize CEDC staff, volunteers, or representatives to obtain emergency medical treatment for my child if I cannot be reached immediately. I authorize basic first aid to be administered when appropriate and agree to accept full responsibility for any related medical expenses.

I understand that transportation to and from classes, rehearsals, performances, competitions, and events is the responsibility of the parent/guardian unless otherwise communicated by CEDC.

I grant permission for CEDC to use photographs and/or video recordings of my child taken during classes, rehearsals, performances, competitions, or studio events for promotional, educational, website, advertising, and social media purposes. I understand that no compensation will be provided for the use of such photographs or recordings.

I understand that CEDC reserves the right to remove or dismiss any participant or family for unsafe, disruptive, inappropriate, or disrespectful behavior without refund.

If any portion of this agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.

By signing below, I acknowledge that I have carefully read and fully understand this Parental Consent and Liability Release Agreement. I voluntarily agree to its terms and understand that I am giving up certain legal rights, including the right to bring claims against Concrete Elite Dance Company and its representatives for injuries or damages arising from participation, except where prohibited by law.
