This insurance program is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of a U.S.-based dance instructor directly supervising an individual
or a group engaged in dance activities.
Coverage is provided by a carrier rated A+ (Superior) by A.M. Best Company.
This program does not provide coverage for the operation, ownership or maintenance of a fitness, sports or dance facility. For information
regarding coverage for a facility,
please call 1-800-955-1991.
We're happy to advise that coverage does extend to virtual training provided by you (the named insured) to your clients. The intention of the policy is to provide coverage for instruction/training under your direct supervision or organized by you, including material created by you that is accessible to your clients only (through a private platform such as a password protected website or a closed Facebook group) - Coverage does not extend to any training material that is accessible to the general public.
We expect that all reasonable precautions will still be taken when you are assessing potential new clients online, including but not limited to:
health assessments, waivers/release forms, and interviews with clients prior to instruction or training. We encourage our clients to consult with
their attorney to consider special waiver/release agreements that will apply specifically to virtual training.
Please note, virtual training/instruction does not extend to any training/instruction that includes gymnastic apparatuses, tumbling, or stunting
(including pyramids), or in-water activities. We do not provide coverage for cyber liability, so if you are taking
payment or collecting personal information online and it is compromised, there would be no coverage under the general liability policy.
