At this time, The Ballet Conservatory will not offer an option for students to enroll in virtual classes only. In studio attendance is required. Students that are required to quarantine due to a COVID diagnosis or exposure will have the option to take class via Zoom until cleared to come back to the studio in person. By participating in The Ballet Conservatory's online classes, you agree to release and forever discharge The Ballet Conservatory, Inc.., its officers, agents, employees, faculty, independent contractors, and volunteers from any and all claims, actions, damages, or loss for which I or my minor child(ren)/ward(s) may incur or which may accrue to me or may child(ren)/ward(s) on account of participation in The Ballet Conservatory programs.
Safer Studio Policy
Ballet Conservatory requires all staff and students to stay home when they are ill. In order to reduce community spread of COVID-19, we follow best practices and recommendations from our local health department and local government. BC understands that unlike older children and adults, young children cannot be expected to maintain social distancing at all times. Therefore, BC focuses on a hierarchy of measures beginning with keeping ill people home, encouraging frequent hand cleaning and good hygiene practices, amplified cleaning, and facility adaptations to minimize contact and mingling where possible. In the event a class is unable to be held at the studio, classes will convert to Zoom until in-studio classes can resume. Should there be a surge in COVID cases, The Ballet Conservatory reserves the right to require face masks inside the studio.
COVID-19 Waiver
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 congregations of groups of people.
The Ballet Conservatory (BC) has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, BC cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren)/ward(s) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending BC could increase your risk and your child(ren)/ward(s)' risk of contracting COVID_19.
By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my child(ren)/ward(s) and I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending BC and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability and death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at BC may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, BC employees, volunteers, 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 child(ren)/ward(s) or myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability or expense, of any kind, that I or my child(ren)/ward(s) may experience or incur in connection with my child(ren)/ward(s)'s attendance at BC or participation in BC classes. On my behalf, and on behalf of my child(ren)/ward(s), I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge and hold harmless BC, its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating hereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of BC, its employees, agents and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any BC program, class, or event.
Inclement Weather
In case of inclement weather, notifications will be sent by social media and the 5 Pointes email. The studio does follow the Lewisville Independent School District (LISD) closing policy. BC does not pro-rate tuition for weather cancellations, but make-up classes may be scheduled.
