RELEASE OF LIABILITY

Last updated: June 2, 2009

Parents and students are aware that there is an inherent risk in physical activity and will assume risk as such. I accept full responsibility for any injury which the persons who are enrolled in classes at Starz Unlimited might incur while at Starz Unlimited dance classes or at any location while attending a function related to Starz Unlimited. 

By registering for classes, camps, or workshops I agree to indemnify (reimburse), release, and forever hold harmless Starz Unlimited Inc. for any claims, demands, and actions or causes of action on account of injury or loss or damage which may occur from any cause, without regard to negligence, other than gross negligence or willful misconduct of Starz Unlimited Inc. either for myself, for my children, and for children not directly involved with Starz Unlimited Inc, who accompany me and are in my care.

Classes may be dropped or changed by filling out a class change form. This form can be printed off the website or picked up at the studio. All fees and tuition will continue to accrue until these changes have been officially made.

Ballet classes:  Black leotards, pink tights, & pink ballet slippers are preferred, with hair pulled back off of their face.  Ballet skirts are optional.  Boys may wear t-shirts, shorts or sweats, and black ballet slippers.

Jazz classes: Ballet attire, biker shorts, jazz pants (or slim-fitting sweats), and jazz or ballet shoes are appropriate. Hair should be pulled back off of their face in a bun, braid or ponytail.

Clogging classes: Sweats, shorts, or other loose-fitting pants and t-shirts are appropriate for clogging classes. NO JEANS OR TANK TOPS!!

Tumbling classes: Sweats, shorts and leotards with footless tights are appropriate for tumbling classes. Bare feet or ballet shoes are recommended.

Ballroom classes: Sweats, shorts, or other loose-fitting pants and t-shirts are appropriate for ballroom classes. Dress (or slick soled) shoes are recommended.

Shoes: Slick-soled or regular tap shoes purchased at DI or other thrift stores work great for clogging.  Dance shoes may also be ordered for discounted prices through catalogs at the studio and used shoes are also available to purchase at the studio.  Clogging taps may be purchased from local shoe repair stores. Dance shoes (tap/clogging, ballet, jazz) should NOT be worn outside the studio.  Grit & dirt are abrasive to the studio floor and cause damage to the floor.  Please help your children to keep their shoes in good repair (tighten loose screws, remove sharp pieces, etc.).

Dancers should be dropped off shortly before and picked up directly after their assigned class. Dancers who are taking several classes throughout the day and are waiting for a class may be left at the studio if they are able to care for themselves. No one is available to directly supervise them and you are ultimately responsible for their safety. Children who are not involved in classes should NOT be left unsupervised.

A playroom, eating area, and classrooms for studying are available for dancers & families who need a place to wait (when not in use by co-ops). All people are expected to clean up after themselves, including vacuuming your area, if needed.

Food should only be eaten in the dining area.

Individuals wishing to use a classroom will need to sign out a key in order to use a classroom.
