By booking or purchasing lessons, I acknowledge that I am aware of my health condition and voluntarily assume full responsibility for participating in any movements, exercises, or activities during dance lessons. To the fullest extent permitted by New York law, I hereby release, waive, and discharge the Instructor and the studio/venue (and their owners, officers, employees, agents, and contractors) from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, actions, or causes of action arising out of or related to my participation in the lessons, including claims resulting from the active or passive negligence of the Instructor or the studio/venue. I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Instructor and the studio/venue from any third‑party claims, demands, or causes of action arising from my actions or participation. I understand that this waiver includes, but is not limited to, claims for personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death arising from my participation in dance lessons. I acknowledge that I have had the opportunity to ask questions about the activities involved and that I am free to consult with a physician before participating. I understand that I may withdraw from any activity at any time. This Consent and Waiver is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the lesson or service is provided, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any legal action arising out of this agreement shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in that state.
