WAIVER STATEMENT
Dance training and the athletic exercises associated with it place unusual stress on the body and carry the risk of physical injury. NZSD will not be liable in any way for injury sustained through participation in classes or related activities. Dance training involves physical ‘hands on’ adjustment of the student’s body by the tutor.
Unless notified to the contrary, it is understood that the parent/guardian grants permission for the management, faculty or staff of NZSD to authorise any emergency medical care deemed necessary whilst on site.
RIGHT OF ADMISSION RESERVED
In the interests of the health and safety of all Winter School participants, NZSD reserves the right to ask any attendee who appears unwell to absent themselves from the classes until their good health is fully restored.
