Waiver and Release of Liability

 

1. Acknowledgment of Risk

I understand and acknowledge that participation in aerial and circus activities—including but not limited to aerial silks, lyra, rope, hammock, trapeze, conditioning, acrobatics, and ground-based circus and dance skills—carries inherent risks. These activities require physical exertion and involve heights, movement, equipment use, and physical contact. I understand that, as with any physical activity, participation may result in injury including (but not limited to): Falls, bruises, strains, sprains, fractures, or more serious injuries.

I voluntarily choose to participate (or allow my child to participate) in these activities fully aware of the risks involved.

2. Release of Liability

In consideration of being permitted to participate in any class, workshop, training, event, or open practice session at Aerial Dreaming Circus School, I hereby release, waive, and discharge Aerial Dreaming Circus School, its owners, instructors, staff, contractors, volunteers, and affiliates from any and all liability, claims, demands, or causes of action for injury, loss, or damage arising out of my (or my child’s) participation.

This release includes, but is not limited to, liability arising from negligence, accident, or equipment failure.

3. Health & Safety Declaration

I confirm that I (or my child) am in good physical health and have no known medical conditions or injuries that would prevent safe participation in aerial or circus activities. I agree to inform instructors of any relevant health issues prior to participating.

In the event of injury or illness, I authorize staff to administer basic first aid and/or seek medical attention as required. I understand that every effort will be made to contact my emergency contact or the parent/guardian of a minor.

4. Studio Policies & Conduct

I agree to follow all instructions, safety guidelines, and studio policies as outlined by Aerial Dreaming Circus School. I understand that failure to do so may result in removal from class or training sessions without refund.
