On behalf of my child, I assume all risks associated with any of these classes. I agree to protect and save harmless Allegro Dance Arts, its employees, and instructors from any loss, damage, or expenses as to all claims of liability whatsoever on the part of Allegro Dance Arts, its employees, and instructors.
