Frequencies of Freedom Waiver

A dance and movement healing modality · Instructor: Carly Bindon

NATURE OF THE CLASS

This class includes free-form dance; somatic movement practices, including cathartic shaking and ecstatic dance; stretching; breath and voice work; floor practices; nervous system regulation and co-regulation; and group sharing and discussion. It may include partner work, partnered or group movement, and contact practices such as:

  • Mirroring and call-and-response with a partner

  • Weight-sharing, leaning, and supported balance

  • Contact improvisation-style rolling, lifting, and shared movement

  • Group circles, witnessing, and moving in close proximity to others

Consent to contact. By participating in this class, I consent to physical contact with other participants as part of these practices. This consent may be adjusted or withdrawn by me at any moment, and I always have the option to decline any particular practice, change partners, or step out without explanation.

ASSUMPTION OF RISK

I understand that movement, partner work, and physical contact carry risks, including strains, sprains, falls, collisions, and other injury, and that I may also have emotional or sensory responses. I accept these risks and participate at my own risk.

HEALTH AND RESPONSIBILITY

I am physically able to participate, will move within my limits, and will stop or modify anything that doesn't feel right. I will respect the boundaries of others. This class is not medical treatment or therapy.

RESPECT & CONDUCT

I agree to respect the boundaries of every other participant and to always move with reverence, for myself, for others, and for the space. Zero tolerance: any violation of respectful conduct or any inappropriate contact will result in immediate removal from the class and from future classes.

CONFIDENTIALITY

I agree to keep confidential anything personal that other participants or the instructor share during the discussion portions of the class, including names, stories, and experiences, and not to repeat or post it outside the class without the speaker's permission. I may freely share my own experience. This does not prevent me from reporting unsafe or inappropriate conduct, or from disclosing information as required by law.

RELEASE

In exchange for being allowed to participate in this class, I release and hold harmless Carly Bindon and any venue or host of the class from all claims, liability, and damages arising from my participation, including those caused by ordinary negligence, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

RELEASE OF OTHER PARTICIPANTS

I understand that other participants are also taking part at their own risk. I release other participants from claims arising from accidental contact or injury that occurs during ordinary participation in the class. This release does not apply to any participant who violates the respectful conduct policy, engages in inappropriate contact, or acts intentionally or recklessly to cause harm. Nothing in this waiver limits my right to report such conduct or to seek any remedy available to me for it.

EMERGENCY

I authorize the instructor to call emergency services if needed, and I am responsible for any resulting costs.
