Dance instruction involves physical activity and inherently carries a risk of injury, including but not limited to muscle strains, sprains, falls, and collisions with other students or studio equipment. I understand and voluntarily assume all risks associated with my child's (or, if an adult student, my own) participation in classes, rehearsals, performances, and related activities at Nrityam School of Dance (the Studio).
In consideration of being permitted to participate in Studio programs, I, on behalf of myself, my child, and our heirs and personal representatives, release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue the Studio, its owner, instructors, employees, and agents (collectively, the Released Parties) from any and all liability, claims, demands, or causes of action arising out of or related to any loss, damage, illness, or injury sustained while participating in Studio activities, except to the extent caused by the Released Parties' gross negligence or willful misconduct.
I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from any loss, liability, damage, or cost they may incur arising out of my child's (or my own) participation in Studio activities. This Waiver and Release is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted under the laws of the State of Kansas; if any portion is held invalid, the remainder shall continue in full force and effect.
