This is to certify that the student is in good health and is capable of vigorous activity. I will be responsible for any injury or loss of property sustained by myself or my child in connection with this camp. I understand that ballet is a physical craft and is learned through the body, and that in teaching and learning physical touching and correction is necessary. Please contact Kathryn Smith, 335-2193, if you have questions or concerns.
