Class Member Registration Form

Before taking part in a class, I will ask you to complete a class member registration form which you can read below.

I can either send you a form to complete, or fill the form in for you if you let me know your details and responses via your preferred method of communication.

If I send you a form, you can either send your completed version back for me to print off ready for you to sign at class, or you may print it off and bring it to class pre-signed. If I fill out a form for you, I will print it and bring it to class for you to sign. The transportation of forms to and/or from class is done so in a secure manner via the use of a file folder with a combination lock.

REGISTRATION FORM

I ask class members to fill out these forms to help me provide a satisfactory service, ensure the safety of class members and because they are required for insurance purposes.

Forms are stored securely in my home office filling cabinet with photographic copies stored on my personal encrypted tablet, thus ensuring I have access to details in case of an emergency during a class. Contact numbers are added to my encrypted mobile phone and email addresses added to my email account.

Your forms and contact information will be stored for as long as you are attending a class. If you stop attending a class and don’t return within 6 months, your name will be taken off my personal class register and contact details deleted from my email account and mobile phone. Forms and their photographic copies are stored for 3 years and 4 months after you stop attending. After this time, your form will be shredded and its photographic copy deleted.

Personal information will only be shared with selected third parties in exceptional circumstances if requested with lawful basis for specified purposes. For more information on this and how I collect, store and use any information you choose to provide, please view my full privacy policy here https://dancefitwithhelen.com/privacy-policy/. You may request to see a paper copy.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY READINESS QUESTIONNAIRE (PAR Q)

If you are between the ages of 15 and 69, this questionnaire will tell you if you should talk with your doctor before you take part in any classes. If you are over 69 years of age and not used to being very active, check with your doctor first. Common sense is your best guide when answering these questions.

If you have answered yes to any of the above questions – I strongly suggest that you seek professional medical advice before taking part in a class. Tell your doctor about the PAR-Q and which condition you are concerned about. You may be fine to take part in my classes as long as you start slowly and build up gradually. Talk with your doctor about wanting to participate in my classes and follow his/her advice.

If you answered no to all the above questions – You can be reasonably sure that it is suitable for you to take part in my classes. Just begin slowly and build up gradually.

All types of exercise carry an element of risk, dance is no different! My classes are designed to minimise risk whilst providing effective dance-based workouts!

If at any point during a class, you become unwell, feel undue pain, excessive discomfort or experience any unusual symptoms, stop immediately and inform me of your symptoms. Likewise, if at any point you become concerned with the safety of the class environment, please stop and inform me. You are free to withdraw from participating at any time you wish.

I ask you to take my classes at your own pace and only do what you feel is comfortable. If you need to take a rest, miss moves out or tailor moves to your ability, please feel free to do so and act as you see fit. I endeavour to provide alternative options during routines wherever I can.
