Legal Question in Entertainment Law in California
contracts and waivers
What type of contracts and waivers should I use to protect myself when opening a pole dancing studio? I dont want anyone to fall and try to sue me, as they will be dancing and excercising, using new muscles they didnt know they had?

Re: contracts and waivers
You'll need to cover several issues. Our CA member attorney can handle this for you. I don't think there is an online form specific to your needs.

First off, you'll need INSURANCE.
Second you'll want to have a good release drafted for your specific situation, and outlining the kinds of risks associated with this kind of exercise/dance/equipment, etc.
This is probably NOT a matter of reinventing the wheel. You might be able to get a sample or two from other pole-dance instructors in your area, then have an attorney look it over.
Don't try to do-it-yourself.. Pay an attorney to make sure your bases are covered.
Third, You'll probably want to post lots of safety instructions, warning signs, etc.
