Liability Release
I am aware that dance training and the athletic exercises associated with it place unusual stress on the body and carries a 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 Goh Ballet Academy shall not be liable in any way for injuries sustained during attendance, dance class or any related functions. I understand that good dance training involves touching and adjustment of the student's body by the instructor. I further acknowledge that neither Goh Ballet Academy nor its instructors are responsible for any loss of or damage to the student's personal property.
External Training/Performances/Participation
I fully understand that any participation in programs/ classes/ performances/ competitions/ dance related projects held or presented by an organization outside of Goh Ballet must be discussed with my main teacher and permission from the Academy's Director is required to participate in such activities. This permission may be obtained by filling out the paperwork that is available from the Administrative Office.
Student Handbook
I agree to read, understand, and abide by the policies and procedures as described in Goh Ballet's Annual and Summer Program Student Handbook which may be updated from time to time. I acknowledge that these academy policies allow my child and our family to have the best experience possible while attending Goh Ballet.
Medical Release
In the event that I cannot be reached, I hereby give my permission to the management, faculty, administration, staff and chaperones of Goh Ballet Academy to authorize any emergency medical care that may be required by the above noted student during participation in classes, performances, or any related Goh Ballet Academy events. This authorization extends throughout my or my child's enrollment with Goh Ballet. I understand that I am responsible for any and all charges as a result of such care or medical treatment. I understand that if the student requires an epinephrine pen administered in the event of an allergic reaction a letter detailing permission of administration is required. Without this letter, epinephrine cannot be administered by any Goh Ballet faculty members under any circumstances. If a student requires prescription medication for any reason, a letter of permission of administration is required, without this letter, the Goh Ballet Faculty will not administer any prescription medication.

Cancellation and Refund Policy
Enrollment in the Annual, Summer and All programs is a commitment to pay the entire tuition amount. **Tuition is non-refundable, non-transferable and no refunds or credits will be given for missed classes or early withdrawal. All outstanding installment payments will become due and will be automatically charged to the credit/debit card/bank account on file on the dates outlined in program packages.
