Waiver of Liability & Policies
I understand that I (or my child) am participating in a dance, fitness, or specialty class or workshop by own will and at my own risk. By signing this agreement I understand Gasper’s School of Dance will not be held liable for any injuries or accidents that occur throughout the duration of the dance, fitness, or specialty class or workshop being attended. I also understand that Gasper’s School of Dance is not responsible for any lost of stolen materials.
Locker Room / Dressing Room Policy
In addition to the development of our dancers and the enjoyment of the sport, the safety and protection of our participants is central to Gasper’s School of Dance goals. Gasper’s School of Dance has implemented a locker room policy as a means to help protect its participants from abuse and misconduct, including, but not limited to, emotional abuse, bullying, threats, harassment, and hazing. To help prevent abuse or misconduct from occurring in our locker rooms, Gasper’s School of Dance has adopted the following locker room / dressing room policy. This policy is designed to maintain personal privacy as well as reduce the risk of misconduct in locker rooms. For the purpose of this policy, the term locker room includes, but is not limited to, any space used to prepare for a dance practice or event, which includes a space that participants may use to get dressed, whether at Gasper’s School of Dance or another location.
Please agree to and sign our waiver to participate
I agree that my safety is primarily my own responsibility. I agree to make sure that I know how to safely participate in the activity, and I agree to observe any rules and practices that may be employed to minimize the risk of injury. I agree to stop and seek assistance if I do not believe I can safely continue, to limit my participation to reflect my personal fitness or dance level, and to refrain from any and all actions that would pose a hazard to myself or others.
Parents in Locker Rooms
Except for younger participants, we discourage parents from entering locker rooms unless it is truly necessary. If a participant needs assistance, if the participant is or may be injured, or a participant’s disability warrants assistance, then we ask that parents let Gasper’s School of Dance know beforehand that he or she will be helping the participant. With our youngest age groups, it may be necessary for parents to assist the participants in getting dressed. We encourage parents to teach their participants as young as possible how to get ready for practice or a performance so that participants will learn as early as possible how to get prepared independently. In circumstances where parents are permitted in the locker room, we ask that the parents abide by the same policies as the participants. Gasper’s School of Dance, in its discretion, may prohibit parents from a locker room.
Cell Phones and Other Recording Devices
Cell phones and other devices with recording capabilities, including voice recording, still cameras, and video cameras, are not permitted to be used in the locker rooms. If phones or other such devices must be used, they should be taken outside of the locker room. Gasper’s School of Dance reserves the right to collect any phone that is used in the locker room. Gasper’s School of Dance reserves the right to look at the phone to ensure the phone does not contain any pictures or videos that compromises another participant’s privacy.
