I acknowledge and understand that dance is a physical activity that involves inherent risks, including but not limited to the risk of injury, physical strain, falls, or accidents. By allowing my child to participate in classes, rehearsals, performances, or any other activities hosted, sponsored, or affiliated with Havilah Dance Company (HDC), I voluntarily assume all such risks, both known and unknown.

I agree to release, indemnify, and hold harmless Havilah Dance Company, its owners, directors (including Brooke Hardiman, Brittany Vachon, and Gail Dawkins), staff, instructors, volunteers, and agents from any and all liability, claims, demands, causes of action, or expenses (including attorney's fees) arising out of or related to any loss, damage, illness, or injury sustained by my child or myself while participating in any HDC activity-whether held at the studio located at 10058 East Independence Blvd., Matthews, NC, or offsite at events such as recitals, competitions, community performances, or other HDC-related functions.

I understand that participation may include the use of props or engagement in special staging and choreographic elements, which carry additional physical risks. I acknowledge that these activities are optional, and by permitting my child's participation, I accept full responsibility for any associated risks.
Furthermore, I understand that it is my responsibility to maintain an active and adequate health insurance policy for my child. I confirm that I will not hold HDC or any of its staff personally or professionally liable for any injuries or losses sustained as a result of participation.

By signing below, I confirm that I have read, fully understand, and agree to the terms of this Hold Harmless & Assumption of Risk Agreement.
