Starr's Dance & Acro Central Liability Waiver
I choose to participate in classes, performances, workshops, and other activities at Starr's Dance & Acro Central 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 Starr's Dance & Acro Central, owners, students, teachers, staff, employees, volunteers, associates (collectively referred to in this document as "SDAC”) from any liability or claim that I or my representatives may have against SDAC with respect to any bodily injury, personal injury, illness, death, or property loss or damage that may result from my participation at SDAC.
I voluntarily release and forever discharge and hold harmless SDAC 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 SDAC equipment or facilities, and any activities associated with SDAC.
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 SDAC. My participation at SDAC 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 SDAC 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 SDAC 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 SDAC, I agree to be responsible for and pay all costs incurred on my behalf.
I release and discharge SDAC from any claim which may arise on account of any first aid, treatment, or service rendered in connection with my participation in SDAC activities or with the decision by any representative or agent of SDAC to consent to medical or dental treatment on my behalf in an emergency.
I understand that SDAC 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 SDAC participation regardless of whether I have insurance coverage.
