(“Company”), including but not limited to college fairs, masterclasses, workshops, rehearsals, performances (“Events”), and related travel, meals, and social events ("Activities"). .
I understand that dance and performance Activities involve physical exertion and inherent risks. These include, but are not limited to, falls, collisions, sprains, strains, fractures, overuse injuries, heat-related illness, exposure to illness, injury from stage or venue equipment, property loss or damage, and, in rare cases, serious injury or death. These risks may come from my own actions, the actions of others, the condition of facilities, or the Company's failure to warn. I confirm that I (or my child) am in good health, have no medical condition that would make participation unsafe, and have disclosed any relevant condition to the Company in writing. I knowingly and voluntarily assume all risks, both known and unknown.
Please initial below to confirm you have read and understood the above section on risk and voluntary participation.
2. Release, Waiver, Covenant Not to Sue, and Indemnity

I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Releasees from any claim, including attorneys' fees and costs, brought by me, by my child or anyone on my child's behalf, or by any third party, arising from my or my child's participation. If I or anyone on my behalf files a lawsuit in violation of this agreement, I agree to pay the Releasees' reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.
