COVID-19
I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and other contagious diseases and viruses and voluntarily assume the risk that I and/or my children might be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 or other communicable diseases by attending and participating in classes at Central Texas Youth Ballet (CTYB). I also acknowledge that such exposure or infection might result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 and other contagious diseases and viruses might result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to employees, volunteers, and program participants and their families.
Digital Instruction
I acknowledge that due to the current health pandemic, in-person instruction may shift to digital or online instruction at any time.
Release of Liability
I am aware that dance training and the athletic exercises associated with it place unusual stress on the body and carry the risk of physical injury. On behalf of my child and myself (and if I am no longer a minor, on my own behalf), I assume the risk and agree that Central Texas Youth Ballet shall not be liable in any way for injuries sustained during attendance at the ballet school or any of its related functions. I also understand that good ballet training involves touching and adjustment of the student's body by the instructor.
Publicity Release
I hereby authorize Central Texas Youth Ballet (CTYB) to record the student's picture and voice on photographs, films, and tapes, to edit these recordings at its discretion, and to incorporate these recordings into movie and sound films on tapes, radio, or television broadcast programs. I also give my permission for CTYB to use and license others to use these materials for publicity, advertising and sales promotion of CTYB. CTYB is permitted to use these materials for publicity, advertising and sales promotion and to use the student's name, likeness and voice and biographic or other information in connection with them. I acknowledge that no promises of compensation were made by CTYB for such use.
Medical Emergency
The undersigned gives permission to Central Texas Youth Ballet, its owners and operators, to seek medical treatment for the participant in the event they are not able to reach a parent or guardian. I hereby declare any physical/mental problems, restrictions, or condition and/or declare the participant to be in good physical and mental health.
