I am fully aware of the current pandemic and the inherent risks involved.

I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that I may be exposed to COVID-19 by visiting or coming to North Georgia School of Ballet. Such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and/or death.

NGSB has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19, however, we can not guarantee that you will not becoming infected with COVID-19. Futher, like any public place, coming to NGSB could increase your risk of contracting COVID-19.

I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at NGSB may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including but not limited to the NGSB staff, volunteers, operators, and program participants and their families.

I hereby waive, release, and discharge North Georgia School of Ballet and all divisions thereof of any and all liability and responsibility for injuries, sickness, pandemics, accidents, natural disasters, and/or acts of God incurred during participation in and instruction of classes, camps, intensives, private instruction, rehearsals, events, choreography, or any activity I may participate.

Please note the following guidelines regarding all classes:
1. We request that students carefully observe our dress code outlined on the website.

2. Any student arriving more than 15 minutes late may not be admitted to class. To receive the full benefit from your class, please arrange for a make-up class if you expect to be very late.

3. All students are encouraged not to leave the room once class has begun. Please allow for appropriate restroom use prior to class. Very young children will be treated sensitively as the need arises. Preschool children may need a parent's attention from time to time for various reasons including bathroom or behavior issues. Please do not leave the waiting room when very young children are in class without informing the office or having another parent responsible during your absence. We make every effort to have all children feel safe and cared for in a loving and inspiring learning environment.

4. School age children and teens: please practice respect. Students are not to be socializing in a disruptive manner during the class with other students. Please come early or stay late to enjoy friends in the waiting area. Please honor your teacher and fellow students by giving your full attention and cooperation. You will be advised if we feel any student is not well adjusted to the classroom environment for any reason over time.

5. During class if a student complains of being ill or sustains an injury and cannot participate, the instructor will send them to the office where the parents will be notified if not on the premises.

6. Only students with pre-existing sickness/injury are allowed to observe class. The parents must notify the office if a student is to observe class.

7. Out of town guests may request to visit at any time throughout the year. No one else is allowed to sit and watch inside of the classroom during regular class time.

Dance is educational and fun, but an important part of class work is developing an attitude of discipline and respect for teachers and fellow students. We trust that following our classroom etiquette will provide an environment in which classes at North Georgia School of Ballet will be a pleasure for all involved.
