    Registration Contract 

    Initial below each section of the Registration Contract.
    ​Medical and Risk Waiver
    Please understand that ballet is a risky form of art; therefore, all teachers, directors, officers, partners, guest dancers and employees of L’Etoile/ RBAM are not responsible for any accident or injury that may occur. The students and parents should understand the risks involved, and agree to follow all safety instructions and precautions. The participant also agrees to waive, release, covenant not to sue, and indemnify and hold harmless L’Etoile/RBAM from any claims, actions, suits, costs, expenses, damages or liabilities, including attorney's fees for personal injury, property damage, accidents, illnesses, or any incidental damages that may arise from the use of the facilities or of participation in the activity of ballet.  The staff should be informed of any special medical/health problem or needs, restrictions, conditions, and/or previous injuries that your child may have.  If your child has any serious conditions and/or illnesses, you must bring written permission to take ballet classes from the primary doctor. All students are required to be covered by their own insurance. If any injury occurs, it is understood that the family is responsible for any medical costs. It is understood that L'Etoile is not responsible for any personal property that is lost, stolen, or damaged while attending L'Etoile. 
    Consent Waiver
    L'Etoile follows the Vaganova syllabus and methodology, which often requires the teachers to manually adjust the student in order to achieve the correct body position, posture, or alignment. Manually correcting students is a non-invasive, standard practice of Vaganova methodology and is not intended to cause any bodily harm to the student. By registering, I authorize and agree that L'Etoile may take and use photographs and video recordings for marketing (publications and website) and social media. I also understand that L’Etoile/RBAM may remove my child from any class, rehearsal, performance, and audition due to disruptive behavior. There are no refunds or refinancing options for missed classes.
