COVID-19 Consent & Waiver
Please be assured that we are following the expectations set forth by the Sate of Indiana. However, it is still possible to contract COVID-19 and other communicable diseases in any public space. While we are instituting many changes to reduce the risk of transmission, given the nature of dance, complete social distancing is not possible at all times and the risk remains.
By sending your child to the studio, you are affirming that you are not aware of your child being in contact with anyone experiencing COVID-19 symptoms as detailed by the Centers for Disease Control.
These symptoms include:
*Cough
*Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
*Fever
*Chills
*Muscle Pain
*Sore Throat
*New loss of taste or smell
*Other less common symptoms are gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.
By sending your child to the studio, you are acknowledging that a risk of contracting COVID-19 exists and agree to release Indiana Ballet Theatre, its employees and/or representatives from any claims of liability should you or your child contract the illness as a result of contact at the studio.

Class Cancellation Information
It may occasionally become necessary for IBT to cancel a scheduled class.

Notice will be given as far in advance as possible. Cancelled classes will normally be made up. Students who wish to make up cancelled classes are welcome and encouraged to do so, by taking a makeup class at the same level or one level lower than the student's regular class. Please notify the office if you intend to take a class to make up for a cancelled class.

Interested students are encouraged to take one complimentary class to find out firsthand about IBT's program. Once a student is enrolled, tuition is due and payable, and is non-refundable, with the following exceptions:
1. Students whose classes are cancelled for insufficient enrollment will be offered another class. If an appropriate class is not available they will be given their choice of a pro-rated account credit or refund.
2. Students who withdraw for medical reasons with physician's documentation will be given their choice of a pro-rated account credit or refund.
Any credit left on account will be honored for one year from withdrawl for tuition only.
