Acknowledgement of Risk and Consent

I, the undersigned, acknowledge the risks associated with participating in dance activities at Minnesota Ballet School (MBS), including the inherent risks related to communicable diseases, such as COVID-19. I understand and accept that contact with the virus may result in significant personal injury or death.

I voluntarily assume all risks, including but not limited to the Inherent Risks associated with communicable diseases, and release MBS and its stakeholders from any liability arising from loss, personal injury, sickness, death, damage, or expense incurred by the participant.

In consideration of my child's participation in MBS activities, I confirm the following:

• My child has no physical conditions limiting their participation in dance activities.
• I grant permission for my child to participate in MBS activities, use necessary equipment, and be transported to and from dance activities.
• In case of emergency, MBS staff is authorized to exercise judgment for treatment until I can be contacted. I authorize any qualified physician contacted to proceed with treatment, and I understand I am responsible for all medical and emergency transportation expenses.
• I acknowledge that touching in a professional manner for proper correction is a necessary part of dance instruction.
• I permit photographs and videos taken at MBS to be used for display or advertising purposes, with no personal information associated without my consent and no compensation offered.
• I accept full responsibility for my child's use of MBS facilities and services, holding MBS and its stakeholders harmless from any loss, claim, injury, damage, or liability.
• I further acknowledge that MBS operates under a no-refund policy and that cancellations for private lessons must be made 24 hours in advance. If canceled less than 24 hours before and the spot is not filled, no refund will be issued.
