I have read the Straub Dance Center (SDC) policies including the center's COVID-19 policies and agree to abide by them. I also hold SDC and SDC employees and volunteers harmless for any and all injuries arising out of participation in any class or performance at or away from the dance center.

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is 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 as well as strict cleaning protocols. Straub Dance Center (“SDC”) has put in place many preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, SDC cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19 by entering our facility. Further, attending SDC could increase your risk and your child(ren)’s risk of contracting COVID-19. By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my child(ren) and I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending SDC classes and events and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability and death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at SDC may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, SDC 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 SDC or participation in SDC classes/programming (“Claims”). On my behalf, and on behalf of my child(ren), I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless SDC, 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 SDC, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any SDC program, class or event.

I agree to allow Straub Dance Center (SDC) the right to publish any dance photo taken by center photographers or staff members in marketing pieces and/or online. This may include images captured by local media during performances such as the Westerville parades, etc.
