RELEASE FORM
I understand dance is a physical activity which requires strenuous movement and involves risks of serious bodily injury. I have/will check with our doctors to make sure both my child and myself are in good health, in proper physical condition and qualified to participate in a DEDA* class, activity or event offered in a DEDA* studio, other location or on a virtual platform
When participating in a DEDA* class, activity or event offered in a DEDA* studio, other location or on a virtual platform my child and I will wear athletic sneakers or dance footwear and clothing appropriate for dance and fitness movements.
