You help students find their rhythm, build confidence, and shine on the dance floor. But even the best-choreographed classes can come with unexpected risks. Dance insurance for teachers and studios helps protect you from common risks — including student injuries, accidents, and property damage — so you can focus on sharing your passion for dance.

What is dance insurance?

Dance insurance refers to general liability insurance, which covers third-party bodily injury (such as slip and fall accidents), property damage, and personal injury like libel or slander. Berxi’s general liability policies also include professional incident coverage, which helps protect you financially and legally if a student claims they were injured due to your instruction.

In addition, many dance studios and instructors can benefit from business personal property (BPP) coverage, which can help replace your gear and equipment if it’s damaged or lost. Optional BPP coverage can be added to any Berxi general liability policy.

Who needs dance teacher & studio insurance?

Dance Studios

If you own or operate a studio, dance studio insurance can help protect your business from common risks, like student injuries and property damage, and safeguard the investment you’ve made in your studio and gear.

Independent Dance Instructors

Whether you teach private lessons or group classes, dance teacher insurance can help protect you if a student gets injured or you damage someone’s property. Many venues and studios require teachers to have insurance.

Mobile Dance Instructors

Dance instructors who teach at homes, schools, community centers, or other locations can face unique risks while working off-site. Dance teacher insurance can help protect you if a claim arises, no matter where you are.

Online Dance Instructors

Even if you teach virtually, dance teacher insurance is still an important part of protecting your business. Berxi’s general liability policies include coverage for student injuries caused by your online instruction and classes.

What does Berxi’s dance studio & teacher insurance cover?

Berxi’s customized general liability dance insurance is designed to protect you from the real-world risks that dance instructors and studios face, including client injuries, property damage claims, and lawsuits.

You can also add optional business personal property (BPP) coverage to your general liability policy to protect your equipment, gear, and other business assets.

General liability insurance covers third-party claims of bodily injury and property damage that occur in connection with your dance instruction and business. It also covers claims of personal and advertising injury, such as libel, slander, or copyright infringement in your advertising.

Plus, unlike other insurance companies, Berxi’s general liability policies include coverage for client injuries due to your dance instruction at no extra charge. So, if a student says your instruction caused an injury or worsened an existing injury, Berxi’s got you covered.

Examples include:

  • A student slips on a wet floor in your studio and suffers an injury, resulting in medical expenses and a claim against your business.
  • A student claims a dance routine you taught them caused an injury and seeks compensation for medical treatment.
  • While teaching at a community center or in a rented studio space, you accidentally knock over and damage a speaker, mirror, or other property belonging to someone else.
  • You use material in your marketing that another business claims infringes on its copyright, leading to a lawsuit and settlement.

You can optionally add business personal property (BPP) coverage to your Berxi general liability policy. This coverage add-on can help pay for repairs or replacements if your business assets are damaged, including your equipment, computers, furniture, furnishings, and more.

Examples include:

  • A burst pipe at your studio damages the sound system, mirrors, furniture, and other equipment, requiring repairs or replacement.
  • A computer used to manage class schedules, student registrations, and business operations is accidentally damaged and needs to be replaced.
  • Portable speakers, dance flooring, or other equipment is damaged while being transported to an off-site recital, competition, or private lesson and must be repaired or replaced.

Full Coverage Details of Berxi Dance Teacher Insurance

If a client or visitor is injured at your studio or instruction space — for instance, by slipping and falling — your general liability policy can help cover their medical bills and any related legal costs and damages.

If you or your employees accidentally damage someone else’s property, general liability insurance can help pay to repair or replace it.

Unlike other insurance providers, Berxi’s general liability policies include professional incident coverage for bodily injury due to your instruction at no extra charge. That means if a client claims you caused them bodily injury due to an error in your work, such as negligence in a dance class or improper instruction, your policy can help pay for medical bills and legal defense.

Personal and advertising injury coverage protects against legal issues stemming from things you write or say, including your marketing activities. It safeguards you from claims of reputational harm, such as libel and slander, as well as privacy invasion and copyright infringement in your advertising.

With a general liability policy from Berxi, everyone employed by your business is covered, not just you. That means your business will be protected from general liability claims resulting from employee actions: for instance, if an employee accidentally damages someone’s property, your Berxi policy can help cover the costs.

You can choose to add business personal property (BPP) coverage to your general liability policy as an optional endorsement, which can help repair or replace damaged or lost equipment, computers, inventory, furnishings, and other business assets. (Note that BPP generally doesn’t apply to normal wear and tear.)

In addition, you can get workers’ compensation and cyber liability coverage from one of our trusted partners by speaking with our in-house customer support team.

How much does dance insurance cost?

Berxi’s general liability insurance starts at just $100/year for individual dance teachers and $350/year for dance studios. Your annual premium will depend on a few different factors, including:

  • The size of your business
  • Your location
  • The amount of coverage you need

You can also add optional business personal property (BPP) coverage to your general liability policy. The BPP coverage add-on starts at around $115/year.

Other Types of Insurance Dance Teachers & Studios May Need

Cyber liability insurance is worth considering if you accept online registrations, collect student information, process payments electronically, or offer virtual dance classes. You can get cyber coverage from one of our trusted partners by speaking with our in-house product specialist team.

Workers’ compensation insurance is required by law in most states if you have employees such as dance instructors, office staff, or studio managers. It helps cover medical expenses and lost wages if an employee is injured while working. You can get workers’ comp coverage from one of our trusted partners by speaking with our in-house product specialist team.

If you regularly drive to competitions, performances, private lessons, or other off-site teaching locations, your personal auto insurance may not cover accidents that occur while you’re working. Commercial auto insurance can help provide protection when using your vehicle for business purposes.
