The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people.

The Dance Connection ("the studio") has implemented a COVID-19 Reopening Plan which can be found on our website. While the Studio is taking extra precautions, we cannot guarantee that you or your family (those included in your bond / membership) will not become infected with COVID-19. Moreover, attending the Studio could increase your risk and your family's risk of contracting COVID-19. As a result, all dancers and families are requested to comply with the new rules and regulations put in place for everyone's safety and satisfaction of the Studio facilities.

By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my family, my guests, or I could be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by being in the Studio and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, or death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at the Studio may result from actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including but not limited to, Studio employees and program participants and their families.

I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my family, my guests, or myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death, illness, damage, loss claim, liability, or expense of any kind, that my family, my guests, or myself may experience or incur in connection with my and/or my family's attendance at the Studio or participation in Studio activities). On my behalf, and on behalf of my family, and my guests, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless the Studio, its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from any claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs, or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of the Studio, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any Studio activity.

Lastly, by signing this agreement, I acknowledge and agree that the Studio's managers and staff have been empowered to enforce the Studio's rules and regulations relating to social distancing and sanitation. I understand that the staff are empowered to ask me and/or my family and guests, to vacate the facility should we fail to follow the guidelines.
