ONLINE CLASSES:
I hereby assume all the risks associated with the sport of dance, and I agree to release Dance Expressions LLC and its employees or agents from all liability/responsibility which may arise in connection with my child's participation in activities at Dance Expressions and/or through participation in online classes.
IN STUDIO CLASSES
I am the parent/legal guardian of above dance student who is a participant/student of Dance Expressions. In the event that I am not immediately available, should the participant suffer a serious or life-threatening injury for which emergency medical treatment may be necessary, I hereby authorize an appropriate adult staff member to engage qualified medical personnel to initiate any necessary medical treatment or care. In the event of such injury, it is understood that the staff member will use all reasonable efforts to notify me (or the emergency contact listed on my child's application), where practical, prior to initiating medical treatment for any such injury to the student. Should neither party be available, an appropriate staff person will contact appropriate medical personnel to initiate the necessary medical treatment, and I hereby give permission to any such physician or other medical personnel to provide such medical treatment such individual deems medically appropriate. I agree that the staff member in consultation with appropriate medical personnel may coordinate medical treatment for any other type of injury/illness. I understand and agree that I am responsible for all medical care expenses incurred to treat the participant's injuries/illness including, without limitation, physician, hospital, lab, drug and device expenses. On behalf of the participant, the participant's parents, and/or legal guardians, I hereby give approval of the above-named participant's participation in any and all programs and activities sponsored or provided by Dance Expressions. I understand that there is some inherent risk in participating in any physical activity and do hereby waive, release, absolve, forever discharge, and agree to hold harmless the organizers, supervisors, participants, and persons involved in the operation, organization, sponsorship, supervision or participation of these activities and programs, including without limitation Stephanie Lovette, Dance Expressions teachers, or volunteers for, from, and against any claim or cause of action of any nature whatsoever that may be available to the student or his/her parents and/or legal guardians, arising out of any injury, accident or illness to the student, arising in any way out of or in connection with the student's participation in such programs and activities.

I agree to allow Dance Expressions to display any photos/videos of my child, taken at Dance Expressions or any Dance Expressions function, or online classes, on social media for display at Dance Expressions, at any Dance Expressions Event, on the Dance Expressions website and on any Dance Expressions Advertising.

2021-2022 SEASON: All payments are made through our parent portal via credit/debit card on file.
By signing this agreement I am agreeing to pay tuition either in 10 (Sept-June) equal monthly installments with the season starting on September 7th and ending the first or second week of June (end of year recital), two equal lump sum payments, or a one-time lump sum to Dance Expressions. I understand there is a $15.00 late fee if I do not pay by the 10th of each month, the card on file will be charged tuition AND late fee on the 11th. I understand that the registration fee, costume fees, recital fee, and tuition are non-refundable. I understand if I register my child after the 15th of the month, my tuition is prorated to half. If I participate in a trial class before the 15th of the month, I will owe a full month of tuition. I understand I will continue to incur tuition charges until I provide written notice (email) that my child will no longer be attending Dance Expressions stating the reason why. I understand if my registered child attends any class within a month I will owe full tuition fees. I understand if I am late paying tuition, I have until the end of the month to settle the account, if the account is not settled then my child cannot attend dance lessons until I have settled the past due and currently due fees.
SUMMER 2022: I understand tuition is per session and due on Monday of each session/camp.

GENERAL DANCE EXPRESSIONS POLICIES

-Dance Expressions does NOT follow school system closings due to inclement weather. DE does not schedule make up classes for inclement weather.

-Any dancers age 10 or younger are required to have an adult come into the studio to drop them off and pick them up. Dancers of this age should never be in the studio without a guardian before or after class.

-Please do not enter the dance room until your teacher opens the studio door. We are often completing preparations for class and will open the door when we are ready for students to enter.

- All dance students should enter the studio with their dance shoes on (please do not wear "street shoes" on the dance floor).

- If you drop off your student early, or are late to pick them up, they will be un-supervised in the waiting room. Supervision is the parent's responsibility before and after all classes.

- When students enter their dance room they should place their belongings down, take a seat on their number, and begin to stretch or sit quietly while they wait for class to begin. To avoid injuries, we ask that students do not run around the studio.

- Always allow the prior class to exit the studio before you enter - this will greatly help the flow from one class to the next.


- ONLY water is permitted in the dance studio for ages 8 & up (ages 3-7 do not need to bring a drink to class).

- Please help keep our waiting room clean - we ask that you do not eat in the studio or waiting room, you are welcome to eat in the break room.

- If you have a question or concern, email is the best way to address these for the quickest response. We ask that you limit questions/concerns in between classes as it cuts into instructional time. We will have office hours the first week of each month from September-December.

- All dancers ages 3-7 are required to have a dance bag to store their shoes.

- All tuition and paperwork should always be placed in the TUITION box located in the waiting room if there isn't anyone at the front desk.


By signing this waiver I agree that I have read, and agree to, all Dance Expressions policies and procedures. This includes, but is not limited to, inclement weather policies, drop off and pick up policies, studio and waiting room etiquette, and dress code.

2021-2022 DANCE SEASON; I understand that to fully enroll my dancer I must complete the registration form and pay the registration fee(s). Tuition is not due until the first class but can be paid earlier if desired. Once the studio has received registration forms, the card on file will be charged for registration ($30, $15/siblings) within 5-7 business days.

Assumption of the Risk and Waiver of Liability Relating to Coronavirus/COVID-19
The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health
Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to
person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health
agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of
groups of people.
Dance Expressions has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19;
however, Dance Expressions cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become
infected with COVID-19. Further, attending Dance Expressions events could increase your risk
and your child(ren)'s risk of contracting COVID-19.
I confirm that I, nor my child, are not presenting any of the following symptoms of COVID-19 listed here:
Fever, Shortness of Breath, Loss of Sense of Taste or Smell, Dry Cough, Runny Nose, Sore Throat
By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume
the risk that my child(ren) and I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending this event
and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and
death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at the dance studio
may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to,
Dance Expressions' employees, volunteers, and program participants and their families.
I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to
my child(ren) or myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness,
damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I or my child(ren) may experience or incur
in connection with my child(ren)'s attendance at the event ("Claims"). On my behalf, and on behalf of
my children, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless Dance Expressions', its
employees, agents, and representatives, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions,
damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that
this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of Dance Expressions', its
employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after
participation in any Dance Expressions' program.
