I choose to participate in classes, performances, workshops, and other activities at Dance with Gigi of my own free will and certify that I (myself and/or my child/children) 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 Dance with Gigi and their directors, owners, students, teachers, staff, employees, volunteers, associates (collectively referred to in this document as "DWG") from any liability or claim that I or my representatives may have against DWG with respect to any bodily injury, personal injury, illness, death, or property loss or damage that may result from my participation at DWG.
I voluntarily release and forever discharge and hold harmless DWG 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 DWG equipment or facilities, and any activities associated with DWG.
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 DWG. My participation at DWG 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 into 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 DWG 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 DWG 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 DWG, I agree to be responsible for and pay all costs incurred on my behalf.
I release and discharge DWG from any claim that may arise on account of any first aid, treatment, or service rendered in connection with my participation in DWG activities or with the decision by any representative or agent of DWG to consent to medical or dental treatment on my behalf in an emergency.
I understand that DWG does not carry or maintain health, medical, dental, or disability insurance coverage for any participant. I agree to take responsibility for the full payment of any emergency medical or dental costs related to my DWG participation regardless of whether I have insurance coverage.
Photographic Release
I understand that DWG may take photo and video recordings of me during my participation in DWG classes and activities. I convey to DWG 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 DWG 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 DWG, I agree to abide by any rules, codes, and policies that are put in place by DWG before or at any time during my participation. If I have questions or concerns regarding any policies or decisions made by any representative of DWG, I agree to bring them promptly and specifically to the director’s attention.
If I file a lawsuit against DWG, I agree to do so solely in the state of Florida and agree that the substantive law of Florida shall apply in that action without regard to the conflict of law rules of that state. I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining document shall remain in full force and effect.
Registration and Payments
I acknowledge that the registration fee is non-refundable. All payments must be made prior to participation in all classes, activities, and events.
Any tuition paid that remains unused due to withdrawal from participation before the start of the first class of the session will be credited to your account. These credits must be used by an expiration date that will be provided at the time the credit is issued.
Signature
All participants must sign a Signature Page at the start of each dance year certifying that they have read this document, understand it in its entirety, and agree to be bound by its terms, before participating in classes.
