1. Assumption of Risk & Liability Waiver

I understand that participation in dance classes, rehearsals, competitions, performances, travel, and other LEDC activities involves inherent risks, including but not limited to physical injury, illness (including communicable diseases), emotional distress, or property damage.

I voluntarily assume all risks and release and hold harmless Latin Elements Dance Company, LLC (LEDC), its owner Steven Lopez, instructors, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, and third-party vendors from any and all liability, claims, or demands related to participation in LEDC activities, except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

For adult students: I acknowledge that I am responsible for my own medical care and costs.

3. Tuition, Payments & Fees

No Refunds: All tuition, registration fees, costume fees, recital fees, drop-in fees, class cards, workshops, and competition fees are non-refundable. This applies to all programs (youth and adult), regardless of class attendance, withdrawal, dismissal, absence, or scheduling conflicts.

Adult programs (drop-ins, class cards, workshops) are billed according to LEDC’s published adult rates.

Tuition and fees are due as published and must be paid in full to maintain active enrollment.

Late payments (youth program only) are subject to a $40 late fee if not received by the 7th of the month.

LEDC reserves the right to suspend or terminate enrollment for accounts more than 30 days overdue.

Written notice is required to withdraw from youth classes.

Tuition is not prorated for early withdrawal, except when permitted under LEDC’s published prorating policy for new enrollments during the season.

I understand that LEDC collects basic personal information (name, contact details, emergency contacts, and payment information) for the purpose of processing registrations, communicating about classes/events, and ensuring student safety.

Payment details are processed securely by third-party payment processors.

LEDC does not sell personal information to third parties.

I am responsible for ensuring my contact and emergency information remains current.
