7. SHOES & DANCE ATTIRE: All dance shoes are ordered by you. The studio
   uses Curtain Call for Class (CCFC) for our shoes but you are free to purchase
   shoes elsewhere on your own as long as they match the studio shoe colors.
   There is a website for CCFC that allows you to login, click on the class your
   child will be in and the shoes required for that class. Please note that dance
   shoes do not fit like street shoes. There are shoes available at the studio for
   your child to try on prior to you ordering. Once purchased, the shoes will be
   shipped to you. Please write your child’s name on their shoes. Dance attire is
   required for all classes; this includes clothes that are comfortable and easy to
   move around in. There is not a set color or style required by the studio. NO
   JEANS are permitted in the studio for students participating in dance classes.
8. CLOSURES/HOLIDAYS/ATTENDANCE: ‘Love To Dance’ will set the calendar for
   each session. The calendar may not always follow the school calendar. Please
   see studio website and Facebook page for weather related closures. If school
   was cancelled for bad weather but the roads are clear by class time, we WILL
   hold class. Use your best judgment and always call when unsure.
   ATTENDANCE is very important to your child’s progress; however, we are not
   responsible for classes missed due to sickness or bad weather. Due to the
   studio being used throughout the week for regular session classes, Saturday is
   the only open day to hold makeup classes. Makeup classes will only be
   scheduled in the event that your class has been cancelled 2 or more times during
   the session whether it is by the teacher or bad weather. Classes that are missed
   due to the studio being closed for pre-scheduled days off based on the studio
   calendar are not included in this. Tuition remains the same regardless of the
   amount of days in a month, the tuition is based on a year of classes as outlined in
   the Dance Tuition for the entire session. *IF the studio has to close for
   pandemic reasons, we will continue classes online and will resume classes in the
   studio as soon as we can. Tuition will remain due during this time unless
   extenuating circumstances determined by the studio apply.
9. RECITAL: Our Dance Recital is the first weekend in May at Harrison or East
    Central High School pending availability. A Recital fee of $8 per person ages 5 +
    will be required to obtain a ticket for entry. The seating is first come first serve.
    The Recital fee pays for the use of the facility for the rehearsal and recital.
10. NOTICES: The bulletin board in the lobby, the studio Facebook page as well as
    the studio website, www.ltdstudiobright.com will have important information that
    relates to the studio. Letters will also frequently be sent home with information
    that relates to important dates and or events. Please utilize these resources to
    keep yourself informed & ask your dancer if papers were sent home to review.
11. PARENTS & STUDENTS: Please stress to your child the importance of
    remaining in the lobby before their class time. The studio door will open when
    class is ready to begin. While waiting, please have your child use the restroom
    and get a drink if they need one. We will have 1 break during class to change
    shoes. Dance bags need to be in the studio with your dancer.
12. PARENT GUIDELINES:
        • If you have questions or concerns, please let us know. However, please
           do not interrupt teachers during classes. We can make arrangements to
           speak or meet with you at a convenient time. You can email your
           concerns to ltdstudiobright@gmail.com or leave a note in the payment
           mailbox. Usually concerns or problems are handled easier and quicker if
           they are brought to the teacher’s attention right away instead of
           discussing them with others potentially causing problems to escalate.
           Misunderstandings happen especially when issues aren’t resolved right
           away and properly, please speak with Ashley or Jaymee directly to avoid
           this.
       •   Please walk students, especially the younger ones into the studio. This
           ensures that the students arrive safely. The studio lobby is small and the
           walls are thin. Please be considerate of the teacher and dancers class
           time by keeping small children in the lobby quiet. It can be a distraction
           to the teacher & dancers if the door is being knocked on, opened, lights
           are being flickered and or loud noises are coming from the lobby.
       •   Please stress the importance to your child to remain in the studio during
           class. This helps us in keeping the class going and not having distractions
           with the doors being opened and closed and having to stop class for a
           child to use the restroom. Please have your child use the restroom prior
           to class beginning.
       •   Please pick your child up on time after their class. Younger dancers will
           remain in the studio if you are late picking up your child to ensure their
           safety.
13. STUDIO GUIDELINES / RULES:
      •   No Food, Gum, and drinks are allowed in the dance studio.
          (Bottled water is the only exception)
      •   Please properly dispose of all trash or items you bring into the lobby.
      •   Come to class on time and prepared to dance. Attendance is important.
      •   The studio is not responsible for classes missed due to absences. Tuition
          will remain the same.
      •   Students, do not leave or walk out of the dance studio without asking
          permission. The teacher needs to know where you are at all times while
          in their care.
      •   Be polite and respectful of all students, Teachers and class assistant. Do
          not invade another dancer’s space by touching them. Always keep your
          hands to yourself.
      •   NO foul language and or behavior will be tolerated in the studio by
          Parents, Students, Teacher or Assistants. Parents & Students will be
          asked to leave for foul language and/or behavior.
      •   Please use respectful body language; do not smack your lips, roll your
          eyes, etc. If you have a question, please raise your hand and do not
          interrupt the Teacher. Always listen and do your best.
      •   Cell phones are to be left in dance bag with it on silent; we will not stop
          class for dancers to check their phone.

14. CLASS WITHDRAWAL: We understand that issues arise and require a student to
   withdraw from class. If this would occur, we do require a 30-day written notice
   prior to their anticipated last class. If a written notice is not received, tuition will
   continue to be billed until one is received.
                                                                        st

         students, Teachers, assistants and studio guests

Assumption of the Risk and Waiver of Liability Relating to
                      Coronavirus/COVID-19

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.

Love To Dance Studio (LTD) has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-
19; however, LTD cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-
19. Further, attending classes at LTD 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 LTD 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 LTD may result from the
actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, Studio employees,
assistants, 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 LTD (“Claims”). On my behalf, and on behalf of my
children, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless LTD, 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 LTD, its employees, agents, and
representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any LTD
Programs.

2020-2021 COVID-19 Studio Policy:

Due to current COVID requirements, social distancing, etc. the studio will not be
able to accommodate parents, siblings, guardians, etc. the ability to stay in the
lobby during class times. You are permitted to come inside to drop off your
dancer to us but will then need to wait in your vehicle until class time is over and
then come back in for pick up. The use of the restroom is still permitted however,
so feel free to come in and use that if needed. Due to this policy, it is imperative
that you make sure your dancer has used the restroom prior to their class time
since you will not be in the waiting room to take them should they need to go
during class! We appreciate your flexibility and patience with us during this time
and hope that it is short term. We will continue to provide you with updates on
any changes with our policy and or CDC policy guidelines.

MASKS: Feel free to send a mask with your child to class if you choose to have
them wear one, as the studio will not be providing them. Dancers will be spaced
out for both warmups and dancing to accommodate the social distancing rule as
well. Teachers will be wearing masks if we need to be in close proximity to the
dancers as in moving arms or legs for proper dance technique.

SANITATION PROCEDURES: Please note that we will be wiping down door
handles, restrooms and ballet bar between classes. Dancers will be asked to wash
hands and or sanitize throughout class if needed.
