extremely contagious and is spread by person-to-person contact; and, as a result,

some of the time. I understand that staff at The Dance Conservatory will be taking
rigorous preventative measures to reduce the risk of transmitting COVID-19 and
other infectious diseases. These measures include those required by provincial
and federal regulatory bodies.
I am aware that despite these preventative measures, there remains a risk of
becoming infected with COVID-19 by proceeding with any in-person interaction,
including in-person dance instruction and conditioning.This risk includes but is not
limited to the symptoms and complications related to COVID-19.
I accept this risk and would like to participate in the 2020/2021 season. If my
