Take your place in the room.

By booking and/or participating in a Femme & Soul class, I confirm that I have read, understood and agree to the terms below.

Participation & inherent risks

I understand that dance is a physical activity and that participation may involve physical exertion, stretching, changes of direction, turns, jumping, floorwork, weight-bearing through the hands or other parts of the body, and other physical movements.

I understand that dance may involve inherent risks including slips, trips, falls, loss of balance, muscle soreness, strains, sprains, bruising, impact, overexertion and other injuries.

I understand that heels classes may carry additional risks, including falls, changes in balance and weight distribution, and increased stress on the feet, ankles, knees and lower body.

I understand that floorwork may involve placing weight through the hands, knees, feet, hips, back or other parts of the body.

My responsibility

I agree to:

I understand that I am not expected to perform a movement that I believe is unsafe or unsuitable for me.

• Follow reasonable instructions given by the instructor.
• Work within my own physical ability and comfort level.
• Ask for clarification if I do not understand a movement.
• Stop or modify an exercise if I experience pain, dizziness, illness or discomfort.
• Inform the instructor of any relevant injury, medical condition or physical limitation that may affect my participation.
• Wear appropriate clothing and suitable footwear.
• Ensure that my footwear is secure, suitable and in good condition.
• Maintain awareness of the space and other participants around me.
• Notify the instructor as soon as reasonably possible if I am injured during class.

Health & fitness

I confirm that I believe I am sufficiently fit and well enough to participate in the class I have booked.

I understand that Femme & Soul does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. If I have a medical condition, injury, pregnancy-related concern, recent surgery or physical limitation that may affect my ability to participate, I understand that I should seek appropriate medical advice before taking part.

I agree not to participate if I am unwell, injured, impaired or otherwise unable to participate safely.

Heels & footwear

For heels classes, I understand that I am responsible for choosing footwear that is appropriate for my ability and the class.

I understand that I may modify movements, change footwear, remove my heels or take a break where appropriate. I will not feel pressured to wear a particular heel height or perform a movement beyond my ability.

Safety & instructor guidance

I understand that choreography and exercises may be modified or adapted for safety, teaching or individual ability.

The instructor may ask a participant to stop or modify an activity where there is a reasonable safety concern.

I agree not to participate while under the influence of alcohol, recreational drugs or any substance that may impair my judgement, coordination or ability to participate safely.

Emergency contact

I understand that in an emergency, Femme & Soul may take reasonable steps to seek appropriate medical or emergency assistance on my behalf.

Personal belongings

I understand that I am responsible for my own personal belongings while attending class. I agree not to leave valuables unattended where reasonably avoidable.

Liability & legal rights

I understand that participation in dance involves inherent physical risks and that I am choosing to participate voluntarily.

Femme & Soul will take reasonable steps to provide classes in an appropriate and safe manner and to provide reasonable instructions relevant to the activity.

Nothing in this waiver is intended to exclude, restrict or limit any liability, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under Irish law. Nothing in this document affects my statutory rights as a consumer.

Health information: optional

If I choose to provide information about a medical condition, injury or other health matter, I understand that this information may constitute special-category personal data.

I consent to Femme & Soul processing health information that I voluntarily provide where necessary for the purpose of helping manage my participation and safety, subject to applicable data-protection law.
