I am aware that dance training and the athletic exercises associated with it place unusual stress on the body and carry the risk of physical injury, and I understand that good dance training involves touching and adjustment of the student's body by the instructor. On behalf of my child and myself (and if I am no longer a minor, on my own behalf), I assume the risk and agree that the Tri-Cities Academy of Ballet and Music (TCAB), its principals, teachers, and staff shall not be liable in any way for injuries sustained during attendance at the dance school or any of its related functions.

THIS WAIVER PERTAINS TO MY CHILD OR MYSELF IF I AM OVER EIGHTEEN YEARS OF AGE AND ENROLLED AS A STUDENT. HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS "CHILD PARTICIPANT/PARTICIPANT" AND HIS/HER PARTICIPATION IN ACTIVITIES AT TRI-CITIES ACADEMY OF BALLET AND MUSIC (an assumed business name of CADA Corporation).

I acknowledge the contagious and dangerous nature of the Coronavirus/COVID-19 and that the CDC and local public health authorities still have numerous recommended best practices to limit the spread and danger posed by COVID-19. In Benton County, these recommendations include, at a minimum, frequent handwashing, social distancing of at least 6 feet, covering coughs, and staying home when feeling sick ("recommendations"). At certain times, and different "Phases" in Washington State's "Safe Start" program, additional requirements, including face coverings or masks may be required.

CADA Corporation, dba Tri-Cities Academy of Ballet and Music ("Academy") has, and will continue to have, safety and health measures in place to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and such measures will, at all times, at least include those required by the CDC and local public health authorities.

Parent Responsibilities

As a parent, I acknowledge and understand that there are certain provisions of Recommendations that will require my taking of an educational and supervisory role of my child who is participating in classes and other activities ("Activities") at Academy facilities ("Child Participant"). These Recommendations include, for example, how to social distance, proper handwashing techniques and intervals, and, when required, I will be required to provide my Child Participant with a face covering or mask and ensure that he or she knows to wear it.

I agree that I will be vigilant over my Child Participant's health and, if any of the following are true as to him or her, will refrain from bringing him or her to Academy classes or onto Academy premises:
• A fever of over 100.4 degrees
• Any other signs of respiratory illness including cough, shortness of breath, chills, muscle pain, sore throat, headache, or new loss of taste or smell.
• Recent international travel within 14 days
• Have been in close proximity to someone who has a probable or confirmed case of COVID-19, or is under quarantine for suspected infection by COVID-19

I further agree that I will ensure that at all times, that I and my Child Participant comply fully with Academy's policies and procedures intended to minimize the risk of spread of COVID-19.

Assumption of Risk

I acknowledge that despite best efforts and compliance with Recommendations, Academy cannot guarantee that my Child Participant/Paricipant will not become infected with Coronavirus/COVID-19. Additionally, I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to and/or infected by Coronavirus/COVID-19 may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself, my Child Participant, and others, including, but not limited to, Academy staff, other Academy child participants, and their families.

Knowing these risks of exposure or infection by Coronavirus/COVID-19, I nevertheless wish to assume the risks and have my child participate in classes and other activities provided by Academy and taking place on Academy premises and expressly understand I am increasing my Child Participant/Participant's risk of exposure to Coronavirus/COVID-19 (and by extension, the rest of my family). I specifically acknowledge and accept these risks on my behalf, and on behalf of my Child Participant.
