I realize that there are certain risks inherent in the art of dancing or other activities which are the subject of this registration. As the legal parent or guardian, I hereby agree to assume the risk of any and all loss, damage, or injury, including death, that may arise from or relate to Student's participation in the classes and activities of The Dance Academy of North Jersey.
