A Step Ahead Dance – ASADC, LLC
I have received or will obtain a copy of A Step Ahead Dance - ASADC, LLC policies and acknowledge that I am responsible for carefully reading and following the rules and policies therein. I understand that A Step Ahead Dance – ASADC, LLC does not give credit and/or refunds for class(es) missed due to holiday, vacation, illness, weather, etc. I further understand that there are specific risks of physical or property damages, losses, or injury that may result from my or my child’s participation with A Step Ahead Dance Center, and I voluntarily assume all the risks associated with such participation. By signing this release form, I/we (the dancer and parent/guardian):
1. I understand and acknowledge that dance may require strenuous physical activity and that there is a risk of personal injury or other losses or damages arising out of such.
2. I certify that the student is physically fit and has no physical or mental condition, which may limit his or her ability to safely participate in the classes in which the student has enrolled, and/ or else I am willing to assume, and bear the costs of all risks that may be created, directly or indirectly, by any such condition.
3. I hereby acknowledge and agree that, by participating in the dance programs offered, I assume all of the risk of injury, and I hereby agree further that I will not assert any claim against A Step Ahead Dance - ASADC, LLC, its employees, officers, directors or members or any of its subsidiaries or affiliated companies by reason of any injury, or other losses or damages arising out of the student's participation in the dance classes and performances.
4. I hereby voluntarily release, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless A Step Ahead Dance - ASADC, LLC, its employees, agents, officers, directors and members or any of its subsidiaries or affiliated companies, from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action, which are in any way connected with the student's participation in the dance classes or recitals and any and all liability for any injuries or illnesses sustained or incurred while participating in the program at A Step Ahead Dance - ASADC, LLC or
during any activity organized by A Step Ahead Dance - ASADC, LLC.
5. Should A Step Ahead Dance - ASADC, LLC, or any of its subsidiaries or affiliated companies, or anyone acting on their behalf, be required to incur attorney's fees and costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and costs.
6. I hereby authorize the staff members at A Step Ahead Dance - ASADC, LLC to act for the student in any emergency requiring medical attention using their best judgment.
7. All medical expenses incurred will be the responsibility of the student or the student's family. I have no knowledge of any physical or mental impairment or disability that would prevent participation in this program, as outlined in the waiver, which I have read.
8. The student is covered exclusively by medical and other health insurance, and I am responsible for all medical payments.
9. I acknowledge that by registering for A Step Ahead Dance - ASADC's Main Session that I will pay monthly tuition installments for September through May and that I will pay all costume/show fees associated with the session. I further agree that students may only be withdrawn from class with 30 days written notice and items billed to the account, including, but not limited to tuition, costumes, rehearsal fees, before the withdrawal date must be paid in full. If the balance is not paid within 30 days of the dancer's last class, I understand that my account may be put into collection and I agree to pay all additional fees incurred by the studio. I acknowledge that myself or my dancer, or other dancers in my immediate family, may not be permitted to register until the past due balance has been paid in full.
10. I acknowledge that I may enroll, make changes, and pause autopay features for tuition and fees associated with the dance session through the Parent Portal. For my protection, A Step Ahead Dance ownership, management, nor any employee has access to see my full payment method’s card or account number. I am responsible for updating accounts, expiration dates and correction of any errors. Failed autopay installments may be subjected to a “failed payment fee” that must be paid in addition to any late fees incurred to the account. Multiple months of payment failures for the same reason may result in my autopay option being terminated or paused until the account can be reconciled.
11. I acknowledge that a late fee will be billed to my account if tuition is not paid on the first of each month.
12. I acknowledge that in registering for A Step Ahead Dance's Main Session that I will pay the costs associated with a Spring Performance for my dancer. Costume fees range from $90-$130 per class and there will be a $30 per class rehearsal fee. Costume deposits will be due at the time of registration. Costume balances and Rehearsal Fees will be due on November 1st.
13. I acknowledge that regular class attendance, especially January through the end of the session, is imperative to a safe and successful Spring Performance. If my dancer(s) misses an excessive number of classes (even for valid reasons) once choreography has started, I understand that it may be necessary to schedule private lessons to make up the missed classes at my expense or my dancer may not be permitted to perform in the show. In these instances, performance fees, costume fees, purchased tickets, show merchandise, etc., will not be refunded.
