I hearby enroll

in José Mateo Ballet Theatre’s Young Dancers Program.

I understand that payment is due in full at the time of enrollment, or in six installments (the first due at the time of enrollment, with subsequent installments due October 1, November 1, December 1, January 1, and February 1).

I understand that, should the student, for whatever reason, be unable to participate, withdraw from the program, be dismissed with cause, or be absent from the program, payments will not be refunded. For students paying in installments, any remaining installments will still be due.

I understand that class schedules are subject to change based on enrollment.

I am aware that ballet training and the exercises associated with it can place stresses on the body and can risk physical injury. On behalf of the above named student and myself, I assume this risk and agree that José Mateo Ballet Theatre will not be liable in any way for injuries sustained during participation in the program or related activities.

I grant José Mateo Ballet Theatre the right to make and use photographic and audiovisual documentation of my child to be used for philanthropic, promotional, and other mission related purposes. In no case will the child’s identity be disclosed without written parental consent.

I understand that the primary method of communication from José Mateo Ballet Theatre is email through Constant Contact or Gmail in order to send announcements and other pertinent studio information.
