  • Recitals off siteA studio policy may not cover a rented auditorium unless the event is listed. Add the recital and the dress rehearsal.

  • Competition travelWhen the studio organizes travel to competitions, it takes on auto exposure. Hired and non-owned auto protects the studio when staff or parents drive for it.

Questions dance studios ask

Straight answers.

The questions we hear most, answered plainly.

Are dancers’ injuries in class covered?

Participant accident coverage pays medical bills for students hurt in class or on stage, often after their family’s own coverage. Liability answers claims that the studio was negligent.

Can parents help backstage under our policy?

Parent volunteers are usually covered for liability while they help. Many carriers want anyone supervising children alone to be screened first.

What if we rent the studio to other groups?

Groups renting your space should carry their own liability and name you on it. Without that, their accident can land on your policy.

How fast can I get a certificate?

Once your policy is bound, you request certificates from your client login, with the wording your contract asks for.

Can I pay monthly?

Yes. Most policies can be paid in full or monthly.
