Assumption of Risk At LCDC we go to great lengths to keep you informed and up to date. At any time if you have questions or concerns please see the front desk person or contact owner, Linsey Battle directly at 586-566-7055. COMMUNICATION: Monthly E-Newsletters for fall/winter sessions, email, social media and lobby communication center. Our main form of communication is through email. Please be sure your email is updated at the front desk. ATTENDANCE Regular attendance is vital to student progress and group choreography. Please make every effort to attend each class. Students may make up missed classes. If you miss more than six classes throughout the dance/cheer season you may be dismissed from participating in the recital. Also, if you miss two of the final eight classes before recital you may be dismissed from participating in the recital routine at the discretion of the teacher. PARENT OBSERVATION At this time parents are not allowed in the facility due to CDC guidelines. We cannot allow parent observation until further notice. If a parent needs to enter the building for an urgent reason please note we will take your temperature and you will need to wear a mask. INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY In the event of inclement weather, an email will be sent and a Facebook/social media post made by 2:00pm if classes are cancelled (by 8:00am for morning classes). Please note that we do not necessarily follow school closings as roads are often cleared by the time studio classes begin. Any cancelled classes may be made up on your own time from our regular schedule of classes. In the event there is not a make up class available, a replacement class will be scheduled toward the end of the season. DANCE DRESS CODE As of 7/13/2020 MASKS TO ENTER THE BUILDING ARE REQUIRED. Required dancewear and dance shoes must be worn to all classes. Failure to wear required dancewear to class could result in students being asked to sit out the class. Repeated failure to wear required dancewear could result in termination of classes. Students are not permitted to wear jeans or shoes worn on the street or outdoors, to any dance class. For safety reason dancers are not permitted to wear jewelry. Long hair must be tied back. PARENTS RESPONSIBILITY TO BE AWARE OF DATES & EVENTS It is the responsibility of the parent or adult student to be aware of all center activities, such as viewing days, recitals, extra classes, and date the center is open or closed. The parents will give the center their email address to email all such notices home. Notices will also be placed in your family folder located in the front of the studio. It is the parent's responsibility to regularly check their emails and folders to ensure they are informed. It is the responsibility of the parents or adult students to inform the center of any email address changes, home address change or telephone number change. ✔ I have read the above and agree. Release of Liability CARE OF STUDENTS The school is not responsible for providing before or after class care for students. Parents with students under the age of 5 are to remain outside the building or in their vehicles. Students are not to be left at the center for excessive time before or after class. INJURIES Parents, legal guardians of minor students and adult students waive the right to any legal action for any injury sustained on studio property resulting from normal dance activity or any other activity conducted by the students before, during or after class time. SECURITY Security cameras are located in public areas for safety and security.

COVID-19 Acknowledgement and Waiver Of Liability The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people. Linsey's Cheer & Dance Center (LCDC) has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, LCDC cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19.

I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at LCDC may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, BDA employees, volunteers, and program participants and their families. I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my child(ren) or myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I or my child(ren) may experience or incur in connection with my child(ren)'s attendance at LCDC or participation in LCDC programming ("Claims"). On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless LCDC, its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of LCDC, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any LCDC programs. By signing this, I to the best of my knowledge do not have symptoms and have not been in contact with anyone who has symptoms or has tested positive for COVID-19. If anyone is showing COVID-19 symptoms I will not send my child into the studio. I am signing this for my athlete as well.
