GDP is committed to the health and wellness of its students, staff, and their respective families. To that end, parents and students are expected to follow appropriate precautions to limit the spread of illness, including but not limited to influenza, COVID-19, and other communicable diseases. By checking below, you acknowledge and agree that you, your student, and your student's other parent and guardian(s) (if any), will comply with all policies, requirements, and guidelines GDP may issue aimed at limiting the spread of communicable diseases, including those issued by the State of Delaware. If your child is experiencing any COVID symptoms or has had exposure to anyone who has tested positive you agree to keep your child at home. If you child has been at the studio in the past 7 days, you agree to notify the studio so that we may take precautions.

All those entering the studio should wear a mask and practice social distancing - this includes dancers waiting for class. At no time, are parents allowed to wait in the lobby for their child. To help with keeping appraised of what your child is learning in class, GDP will occasionally share class videos to parents.

*** Effective December 14, 2020 dancers are required to wear masks during their dance class. ***

GDP instructors will ensure the appropriate distancing is adhered to during class. If necessary, GDP will enforce class limits, when applicable, to adhere to maximum class size requirements. In that event, additional classes will be added to the schedule to accommodate. If your child has a medical condition or a disability that prevents wearing a mask, a request can be made for reasonable accommodation. GDP will update this policy as state requirements change.

In the event that GDP programs are canceled or GDP's means of instruction is altered (including but not limited to remote live and prerecorded video instruction) in order to comply with the directives or guidance issued by state public health authorities, there will be no refund of tuition fees for the month in which the programs are canceled or alternate form of instruction is implemented. In the event that public health concerns necessitate the cancellation or rescheduling of recitals, recital fees and costume fees will not be refunded.

Students and parents/guardians are responsible for making sure all medical conditions and allergies are fully described on the student's tab in the Parent Portal and kept up to date. If your child’s medical condition may or could possibly require medical assistance during your child’s class/es, the parent/guardian must remain on the premises during that time.

Notwithstanding the above, by checking below, you acknowledge and understand that GDP does not render medical care, including medical diagnosis or treatment, to students or others, and that any assistance that GDP staff may offer to a student will be limited to responding to an emergency.

GDP does not carry medical insurance for its students. It is required that all dance students be covered by their own family insurance policies and if injury occurs it is understood that the student's own policy is your only source of reimbursement.

The premises of GDP outside of the classroom studios are not supervised. Students under the age of 7 may not be left unattended by a parent/guardian at any time before, after, or between classes.

Students 7 and older must be dropped off and picked up on time (no more than five minutes before class or five minutes after class). Due to traffic and other safety concerns, parents must park and come inside GDP to drop off and pick up students. Students will not be released to older siblings under age 16. GDP reserves the right to charge up to $1/minute late fee after 2 late pick-ups.

If a student is 7 or older and is participating in multiple classes on the same day, the student may remain inside GDP's building unattended by a parent/guardian between classes.

No student under the age of 18 may leave GDP's premises unattended by a parent/guardian unless they are driving themselves to class. If a student is leaving with another student or someone other than the parent/guardian on file, the parent/guardian must notify the studio desk ahead of time.

Pick-up and drop-off procedures, as well arrangements for time between classes, are subject to modification by GDP at any time, including without limitation during the COVID-19 pandemic. You will be notified by email of any modifications to procedures and arrangements for drop-off, time between classes, and pick-up.

Having agreed that your electronic signature will serve the same purpose and have the same effect as a written signature, by checking the box below you specifically acknowledge and represent that you have read and understand, and that you agree to, the following statements regarding each student you are registering (referenced below as "Student"):

1. I recognize that programs at GDP require physical exertion that may be strenuous and involve inherent risks of serious physical injury (including death). I also recognize that most GDP programs, by their nature, place students in close physical proximity to each other and to GDP staff and, as such, present inherent risks of illness (including but not limited to influenza, COVID-19, and other communicable diseases) caused by exposure to airborne and surface-borne pathogens. I am fully aware of the foregoing risks and hazards to Student presented by his/her participating in such programs. I KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS, EVEN IF ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF THOSE PERSONS AND ENTITIES RELEASED FROM LIABILITY BELOW, AND I ACCEPT AND ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY AND ALL INJURIES AND ILLNESSES TO STUDENT THAT MAY ARISE AS A RESULT OF PARTICIPATING IN ANY GDP PROGRAM.

2. In the interest of protecting Student, other GDP students and staff, I acknowledge and agree that Student, Student's other parent and guardian(s) (if any), and I shall comply with the State of Delaware Guidelines During COVID-19 Pandemic ("Guidelines"), and any and all subsequent revisions to the Guidelines that GDP may issue.

3. I understand that the activities involved in GDP programs are only suggested, and that not everything will be appropriate for everyone. I accept responsibility for assuring that Student will: listen to his/her own body; be aware of any physical conditions in his/her body; and know that he/she is not obligated to perform the activities suggested by GDP personnel.

4. I understand that it is my responsibility to consult with a physician prior to Student's participation in any GDP program to determine the appropriateness of Student's participation. I represent and warrant that Student is physically fit and does not have any medical condition(s) that would prevent his/her full participation in GDP programs. I agree to immediately notify GDP of any pertinent changes in Student's health, including updating all medical information on the Parent Portal and keeping Student's instructor fully informed. If Student is out for an injury or illness, I agree that Student will not return to participate in GDP activities until released by his or her physician to do so. I acknowledge that GDP has not and will not render any medical services to Student, including but not limited to medical diagnosis or treatment of any physical condition, injury, or illness.

5. I understand that GDP does not carry medical insurance for Student. I agree to maintain sufficient medical insurance and to pay all costs associated with any injuries and illnesses that may occur as a result of Student's participation in GDP programs.

6. IN CONSIDERATION OF STUDENT BEING PERMITTED TO PARTICIPATE IN GDP PROGRAMS, I, ON BEHALF OF STUDENT, MYSELF, STUDENT'S OTHER PARENT AND GUARDIAN(S) (IF ANY), AND OUR RESPECTIVE HEIRS AND ASSIGNS (THE "RELEASORS"), HEREBY HOLD HARMLESS, WAIVE, AND RELEASE GDP AND ALL ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, REPRESENTATIVES, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, VENDORS, CONTRACTORS, INSURERS, SUCCESSORS, AND ASSIGNS (COLLECTIVELY, THE "RELEASEES") FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS, ACTIONS, AND CAUSES OF ACTION, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR ACCRUING IN THE FUTURE, ON ACCOUNT OF PERSONAL INJURY, ILLNESS, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR OTHER LOSS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED IN ANY WAY TO STUDENT'S PARTICIPATION IN GDP PROGRAMS. THIS RELEASE SPECIFICALLY INCLUDES INJURY, ILLNESS, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND OTHER LOSS CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF GDP AND/OR OTHER RELEASEE(S), BUT EXCLUDES INJURY, ILLNESS, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND OTHER LOSS CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFULL OR WANTON MISCONDUCT OF GDP AND/OR OTHER RELEASEE(S). WE COVENANT THAT NEITHER I, NOR STUDENT, NOR THE OTHER RELEASORS WILL MAKE OR BRING ANY SUCH CLAIM AGAINST GDP OR ANY OTHER RELEASEE, AND WE FOREVER RELEASE AND DISCHARGE GDP AND ALL OTHER RELEASEES FROM LIABILITY UNDER SUCH CLAIMS.

7. In the event that Student is a minor: I warrant and agree that I am the parent or legal guardian of Student; that I have the legal right to consent to this Acknowledgement and Release on behalf of Student, myself, Student's other parent and guardian(s), if any, and our heirs and assigns; and that by signing below, we hereby do consent to the terms and conditions of this Acknowledgment and Release.
