I certify that my child is physically capable of participating in dance activities that include regular workouts, conditioning, competitions, jumps, etc. My child has had a physical performed by a licensed M.D. in the past year, and has been declared physically fit to participate in an athletic activity such as dance.

As in any athletic endeavor, the chance of personal injury is a possibility. Catastrophic injury and even death may result from engaging in an activity such as dance that involve height, rotation, and motion.
