Terms & Conditions

Waiver and Release from Liability:

The Original Dance Academy is committed to conducting its activities in the safest manner possible. We hold the safety of the participants in the highest possible regard. Parents must recognize however that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreational activities.

In consideration of being allowed to participate in acrodance classes, and other dance style classes, related events and activities, the undersigned acknowledges and agrees that:

1. The risk of injury from the activities involved in this program is significant. While rules, equipment and personal discipline may reduce this risk; this risk of serious injury does exist.

2. I knowingly and freely assume all such risks both known and unknown, even if arising from the negligence of the releases or others, and assume full responsibility for my child's participation.

3. I willingly agree to comply with the stated and customary terms and conditions for participation.

4. I, for my child, hereby release and hold harmless The Original Dance Academy, instructors and employees of The Original Dance Academy, owners and leasers of the premises used to conduct the activity.

With respect to any and all injury, disability, death, and loss or damage to person or property, whether arising from the negligence of the releases or otherwise to the fullest extent permitted by law.

I HAVE READ THIS RELEASE LIABILITY AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK AGREEMENT AND FULLY UNDERSTAND IT’S TERMS THAT I HAVE GIVEN UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS BY SIGNING IT, AND SIGN IT FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY WITHOUT ANY INDUCEMENT.

·  In pre-school dance classes, we understand it may be distressing in the first one or two weeks for some children to be without their parents in class. If the child is upset, parents can remain in class until the child is settled and ready to join in. After week two, parents are expected to not be present in the studio. Videoing and photography of children are not permitted in class. This is due to safeguarding reasons.

·  Parent and toddler dance class: Parents sit with their child during the class and are responsible for their child's behaviour in class. Videoing and photography of children are not permitted in class. This is due to safeguarding reasons. The teacher may dedicate a small portion of the class in some parent and toddler classes for parents to get a video/photo of their child dancing. These videos/photos may only contain your child and have no other adults or children visible in them. The teacher can set up these video opportunities when asked at the beginning of class.
