Dance Studio Insurance provides various coverage plans to fit your needs as an instructor.

Either way, what you can count on when working with our company is getting an affordable, comprehensive plan backed by expertise in the industry. We are committed to the highest standards of ethics and integrity in insurance.
Program A
Program A is the best program for you if either of the following are true for you:
- You need a higher aggregate limit than $1M. Check your contract for requirements.
- If you need insurance for activities in both of these categories: Dance/Yoga/Aerobics and Exercise & Fitness/Personal Training.
Program B
Program B is the best program for you if any of these apply to you:
- You need coverage outside of U.S., such as if you teach on a cruise ship or otherwise conduct classes outside the U.S. (Note this is for those who have permanent residence in U.S.)
- You need a higher than $1M per-occurrence limit. Check your contract with the facility you are teaching at to see if they specify a requirement.
Common Questions
Q: Will my partner, helper, or substitute be covered under my policy?
A: No. Your Dance Studio Insurance policy covers you and you only. It is specifically created for situations in which one of your Pilates participants get injured in class or when there is property damage to someone’s studio in which you’re leading a class. Anyone working with you or for you will need his or her own insurance coverage, too.
Q: Will I be covered for classes I teach out of my home?
A: No, when you teach out of your home, your house functions as a Pilates studio in the eyes of insurance carriers. This means you will also need Pilates Studio Insurance
.
Q: Do I need to be certified to get coverage?
A: No. You can obtain coverage whether or not you’re certified, as coverage is available for both types of instructors under both programs. However, certification is an asset, as it makes you eligible for a premium discount on our plans.
