By enrolling in Montana Ballet Company (MBC) activities, I, the registered student or guardian of the registered student, understand and acknowledge the nature of MBC activities, and (1) fully consent to the student’s participation in MBC activities; (2) attest that the student is in adequate physical condition to participate in MBC activities; (3) confirm that the student has been approved by a physician to participate in dance and MBC activities. I understand that dance is strenuous, involving repetitive and sustained physical activity and numerous types of movements that place intense demands on the human body and carry the risk of potentially serious injury. I am aware that falls and collisions with other students or objects may occur. I understand that dance instruction may involve physical manipulation of the student to correct body alignment and form. I also understand that Montana Ballet Company is not staffed to supervise students at all times and is not responsible for students’ behavior or activities outside of class. As the student’s guardian, I agree that I am responsible for the student at all times outside of class. In case of a medical emergency, I grant permission to MBC and its staff, representatives, and volunteers to provide, in their careful judgment, first aid and emergency treatment necessary for the registered student while participating in MBC activities. I also consent to the transport of the student to a facility required for treatment, and to any emergency treatment deemed necessary by licensed physicians and/or other medical personnel. I expressly indemnify and HOLD HARMLESS MBC, its Staff, representatives, and volunteers from any negligence and all costs resulting from the decision to obtain and provide such emergency treatment. I agree that I am responsible for any and all expenses related to any required medical treatment. I represent that I am 18 years of age or older and am signing this document of my own free will. I acknowledge and understand the above-referenced statements and activities, and I hereby give permission for the registered student to participate in MBC activities. I assume the risk for any injuries or illnesses that may be incurred while engaged in dance classes, performances, public appearances, and/or other related activities, including, but not limited to, necessary travel. I hereby agree to release, waive, covenant not to sue, indemnify, and HOLD HARMLESS Montana Ballet Company, its officers, directors, agents, servants, and employees from any and all liability, fault, claims, demands, and actions whatsoever for any loss, property damage to the student or to third parties, and/or injuries or illnesses the student may incur while engaged in Montana Ballet Company activities, including, but not limited to, dance classes, performances, public appearances, and/or related activities, and necessary travel.
