Dance Insurance Frequently Asked Questions
Still feeling a little confused about liability insurance? Not sure what services you should be on the lookout for when you begin comparing policies? Check out our section below laying out some of the most commonly asked questions when it comes to dance insurance, liability in general, and our policy details, too!
WHY DO DANCE INSTRUCTORS NEED TO HAVE DANCE INSTRUCTOR INSURANCE?
Students put their health and well-being in your hands. That means when a misstep results in an injury, you’re the one in charge and the one who’s responsible for dealing with the fallout. If you don’t have liability insurance, that could spell the end of your career and leave a lasting impact on your personal finances. Imagine paying for the costs of a claim that can run in the thousands completely out of your own savings. Dance instructor insurance provides an opportunity for instructors to protect themselves and their careers from a future event that brings about a claim.
DOES DANCE INSURANCE COVER MORE THAN ONE TYPE OF DANCE CLASS?
Without a doubt! IFG’s dance instructor insurance program affords protection for many of the most popular dance classes and other fitness regimens. No matter how you Jazzercise, Dancercise, or Zumba, rest assured you have the full backing of a stout insurance program made just for dance instructors.
WHAT HAPPENS TO MY DANCE INSTRUCTOR INSURANCE IF I CHANGE STUDIOS?
If you change studios, you’re still covered—at least, that’s what happens when you team up with Insure Fitness Group. Some policy providers won’t offer flexible and mobile coverage, but we’re totally on board with career flexibility. They offer portable coverage, which means no matter where you move within the U.S, you’ll enjoy full coverage.
WHAT DOES DANCE INSTRUCTOR LIABILITY INSURANCE COVER?
Liability insurance covers you in the event a claim is filed against you while your insurance policy is in effect. Let’s break down coverage by our insurance sections:
- General liability: broad coverage that applies to third-party claims against you for injuries or property damage. When a student enters your dance studio, you assume the risk for providing a safe environment. Something as simple as a loose rug that causes a trip and fall injury can result in an expensive claim being filed. For general liability claims, they provide coverage limits of $1 million per occurrence and a $3 million annual aggregate.
- Professional liability: coverage that applies specifically to the professional services you provide. Dance instructors give the chance for a claim to be filed against them when a routine results in an injury. As easy as it is to turn an ankle during rigorous physical activity, dance instructors bear a good amount of professional liability. That’s why IFG provides better-than-most coverage limits with $1 million per occurrence and $3 million annual aggregate.
AM I COVERED BY DANCE INSURANCE IF I TEACH DANCE CLASSES?
We know dance instruction is just as often one-on-one working with a gifted ballet student as it is working with a whole group of senior citizens. There’s no one way to be a dance instructor. Wherever and however you choose to provide dance instruction is completely up to you—you’ll still enjoy full dance insurance coverage.
CAN YOU GET DANCE INSURANCE AS AN INDEPENDENT DANCE INSTRUCTOR?
Of course! We highly recommend every dance instructor—independent any beyond—cover their career, themselves, and their futures with insurance. It’s likely that you will not have much coverage provided from wherever you are providing your service. This leaves you financially responsible for anything that happens during a class that might cause damage or injury. Dance insurance helps to shift the burden of having to pay for events like these from the instructor to their insurance provider
WHY OCCURRENCE FORM OVER CLAIMS MADE INSURANCE?
Here’s the unique thing about occurrence form policies—you’ll be protected for your coverage term, even if a claim arises after your policy has expired. That means that if a claim arises that took place during the time you were covered; we’ll still take care of you retroactively—even if your claim is currently expired. Claims made policy is the opposite—once your policy is done, it’s done. They won’t cover any incidents that occurred during your policy if your contract has expired.
HOW MUCH DOES DANCE INSTRUCTOR INSURANCE COST?
When you team up with Insure Fitness Group, you’ll receive a full year of dance instructor insurance for $189!
CAN I BUY DANCE TEACHER INSURANCE IF I ONLY TEACH PART-TIME?
Not only can you, but you absolutely should invest in insurance as a part-time instructor. Some insurance companies will put limits on the number of hours that can be worked, only adding confusion to the process. They simplify the whole thing by offering one affordable rate.
DOES DANCE INSTRUCTOR INSURANCE COVER CHILDREN’S CLASSES?
Absolutely! There are a lot of dance instructors out there who choose to specialize in children’s dance instruction. Working with kids in this type of environment can be fun and rewarding, but it can also bring about its own challenges. Different levels of physicality and maturity require instructors to be able to teach at a child’s own, unique pace. If that wasn’t challenging enough on its own, kids often can’t properly express if something is physically troubling them. For your protection and for the wellbeing of every child you work with, it’s crucial to invest in liability insurance.
