By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my child(ren)'s and I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending Prodigy Dance and Performing Arts Inc. and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death.

Regarding COVID-19
In the event that the studio is mandated to shut down by the government, all regularly scheduled classes will continue to take place in an online format until we are allowed to safely re-open the studio again. We will keep the schedule the same as the in-studio schedule with only slight adjustments due to the change in platform. If choosing to not attend these online classes, there will be no refunds or make up classes.
In the event that the in-studio classes need to be shut down for a 2-week period because of a positive case in our student body or staff, missed classes will be rescheduled to the end of the term. Should a shutdown occur that is longer than two weeks Prodigy Dance and Performing Arts Inc. reserves the right to continue the in-person classes in an online format until it is deemed safe to return to the studio. If choosing to not attend these online classes, there will be no refunds or make up classes.
Tuition will remain the same whether classes are running in studio or online.
