Dance Schools and Studio Insurance

Dance is an art form that grants dance students the opportunity to express themselves though physical movements. As a holistic activity, dancers of all ages can improve their physical fitness and self-discipline. Additionally, dance provides entertainment for dances and audiences alike. However, there is the very real risk of injury or accident for dancers.

Insurance Issues for Dancers

Medical insurance may not be an option for many dancers who often pay out large deductibles in order to receive any benefits. Dancers aren’t the only ones at risk here. Dance studio owners can lose their businesses due to liability insurance requirements set by landlords or banking lenders. In the case that a dancer is injured in the studio, an injury claim for dance insurance could bankrupt a dance studio owner.

Specialty Dance Insurance Program

Thanks to the Specialty Insurance Program established for Dance Studios and Schools you can avoid being burdened by accident or injury as a dancer. This type of specialty dance insurance provides coverage for participant injury claim or lawsuits. Elect to have liability and accident insurance for your standard coverage. Additionally, you can opt to tack on higher liability limits, coverage for non-owned vehicles, and dancing equipment.
