Hello Teachers,

WCIDTA is ready to celebrate all Western Canadian dancers on our social media feeds !

Please sign the release form below on behalf of your dance school, releasing any digital images that you submit through your dance school’s social media for redistribution. This release form confirms that you either own or have a license to use the photos and have the right to distribute that media including that you have the right to release the image and likeness of all children that are included in that media. 

The release form allows dance schools to tag WCIDTA in social media posts, stories and send in photos through direct submission which can then be reposted and shared by WCIDTA (at the discretion of the Social Media Team).

To be clear, you may only sign this release if you (as owner of your dance school) have: (1) the proper model release signed off by your dance families; and (2) copyright license and/or assignment with your own members.  

If you don’t have your own internal policy or document for your school, and you wish to participate in this program, then you need to craft a release/retain a lawyer to craft one, and get your members to sign, BEFORE you sign this waiver/submit media.  

We have set this up in order to present equal opportunity for schools to be featured on the WCIDTA social channels - we don’t want to leave anyone out. We are also doing this in order to assist our Social Media Team, who can’t always cover all competitions on all days where there are Western Canadian dancers competing at majors. 

If you are eligible to sign this release form, then please do so right away and start sending in your content through Instagram by either tagging us directly on the image(s) or by sending us a direct DM from your school's official Instagram account.
