BEFORE YOU REGISTER

Trial first, or register directly.

If you are new to H&L and are unsure which level is appropriate, a trial class is a good first step. Experienced dancers may also submit a registration request directly for placement review.

Placement

Submitting this form is a registration request. Final class placement is confirmed by H&L Dance based on age, experience, readiness and teacher recommendation.

Tuition & payment

Tuition, payment schedule and any applicable class-specific fees will be provided with the placement confirmation before enrollment is finalized.

Withdrawal & refund

If written withdrawal notice is submitted before the first regular class begins, tuition already paid will be refunded in full. After the first regular class, if the student withdraws and written notice is received before the third regular class begins, 50% of the tuition already paid will be refunded. Once the third regular class begins, tuition already paid is non-refundable and non-transferable. A Trial Class is separate and does not count as the first, second or third regular class for this policy. Classes missed for personal reasons are non-refundable; eligible absences may use the make-up opportunities described in the Attendance & schedule changes policy. If a student is unable to continue because of a prolonged illness or injury, a written request with appropriate medical documentation may be submitted for review; H&L Dance may provide a prorated refund, tuition credit or other reasonable accommodation when appropriate. If H&L Dance cancels a class and cannot provide a reasonable make-up or alternative class, the applicable tuition will be refunded or credited. To discontinue future classes, written notice must be received before the next tuition payment becomes due; after timely notice, no additional tuition will be charged for classes after the effective withdrawal date.

Attendance & schedule changes

Please notify the studio at least 24 hours in advance for any absence or schedule change. Absences reported less than 24 hours in advance will be treated as a regularly scheduled class and are non-refundable. For absences due to reasonable circumstances, up to two make-up classes may be arranged per semester in an equivalent-level class, subject to class availability and teacher approval. Any other class-change arrangements also require studio confirmation.

Performances & competitions

Performance, competition, costume, travel or event fees are separate when applicable and will be communicated before participation is confirmed.

Safety

Please share relevant injuries, physical limitations or other information that may affect safe participation so instructors can teach appropriately.

Photo & video

H&L may occasionally document classes, rehearsals, and performances. Media consent must be selected separately below.

04Participation Waiver & Emergency Authorization

Please review the agreement below before signing. It applies to dance classes, trial classes, rehearsals, technique and flexibility training, conditioning, Pilates, fitness classes, workshops, performances and other related H&L Dance Studio activities.

Read the full Participation Waiver, Assumption of Risk & Emergency Medical Authorization
Scope

This Agreement applies to dance classes, trial classes, rehearsals, technique training, flexibility and conditioning exercises, Pilates, fitness classes, workshops, performances, and other related activities offered or organized by H&L Dance Studio.

1. Acknowledgment of Risk and Voluntary Participation

I understand that dance and related physical training involve physical activity that may include stretching, backbends, kicks, jumps, turns, balancing, floor work, flexibility training, conditioning, and technical skills. Even when reasonable instruction and safety precautions are provided, participation may involve risks including falls, collisions, muscle strains, sprains, joint injuries, and other physical injuries. I, or the minor participant for whom I am the parent or legal guardian, voluntarily participate(s) in H&L Dance Studio activities with knowledge of these risks.

2. Health and Physical Condition

Participants are responsible for participating according to their individual physical condition and abilities. Any prior injury, recent surgery, physical limitation, or other condition that may affect safe participation should be disclosed to the instructor before class. H&L Dance Studio does not provide medical diagnosis or medical advice. Participants or parents who have questions regarding fitness to participate should seek advice from an appropriate licensed medical professional. If a participant experiences significant pain, dizziness, difficulty breathing, or other unusual discomfort during training, the participant should immediately stop the activity and notify the instructor.

3. Appropriate Physical Contact for Instruction

I understand that dance instruction, particularly technique, flexibility, alignment, conditioning, and movement correction, may occasionally require appropriate physical contact by an instructor to help a participant understand proper body placement, alignment, technique, movement, and safe execution. Any such physical contact is intended solely for reasonable, professional, and instruction-related purposes.

4. Compliance with Instruction and Safety Rules

Participants agree to follow instructors’ directions and classroom safety rules and to participate according to their individual ability. Participants should not attempt advanced movements, flexibility exercises, or technical skills beyond their ability without instructor approval. Participants should inform the instructor of pain, discomfort, or an inability to safely perform an exercise and may stop any activity they reasonably believe they cannot safely perform.

5. Assumption of Risk and Release for Adult Participants

If the participant is 18 years of age or older, I acknowledge and voluntarily assume the normal, inherent, and reasonably foreseeable risks associated with the activities described above. To the fullest extent permitted by Michigan law, I release H&L Dance Studio and its owners, instructors, staff, and agents from claims arising from ordinary negligence in connection with participation in these activities or reasonable use of the studio’s facilities and equipment. This release does not apply to gross negligence, intentional misconduct, willful or wanton misconduct, or any liability that cannot legally be waived.

6. Parent or Legal Guardian Consent for Minor Participants

If the participant is under 18 years of age, I represent that I am the participant’s parent or legal guardian and consent to the minor’s participation in H&L Dance Studio activities. I have read and understand the activities and risks described in this Agreement and agree to its terms to the extent that I may legally provide consent, acknowledgment, or agreement on my own behalf. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to waive any claim or legal right belonging to a minor that a parent or legal guardian is not legally permitted to waive in advance under Michigan law.

7. Emergency Response and Medical Authorization

In the event of injury, sudden illness, or another emergency during an H&L Dance Studio activity, staff may take reasonable immediate safety measures and will make reasonable efforts to contact the parent/legal guardian or emergency contact listed on the registration form. If immediate assistance is reasonably necessary and the appropriate contact cannot be reached in time, I authorize H&L Dance Studio to contact 911, emergency medical personnel, or other appropriate emergency medical services. This authorization does not authorize H&L Dance Studio to provide professional medical diagnosis or treatment. Any costs associated with emergency medical services remain the responsibility of the participant or family, subject to applicable insurance and law.

8. Acknowledgment and Electronic Signature

I acknowledge that I have carefully read and understand this Agreement and have had an opportunity to ask questions before signing. I confirm that the participant and emergency-contact information provided with the registration is accurate to the best of my knowledge. I understand that checking the agreement box and entering my name as an electronic signature demonstrates my intent to acknowledge and agree to this Agreement.
