General and Professional Liability Insurance Limits

Policy Limits

Insure Fitness Group provides affordable annual coverage with dependable occurrence-form protection. This means you’re covered for incidents that occur during your policy period—even if a claim is filed after your coverage ends.

It’s peace of mind that doesn’t expire.

There are two primary types of liability insurance: professional liability and general liability. Both are essential for dance instructors.

  • General liability insurance: Commonly known as a "slip and fall" insurance policy, general liability insurance covers injuries that occur on your premises that are not directly related to your professional services. For instance, if a student trips over a bag near the entrance to your studio and breaks their ankle, this type of insurance would protect you from the resulting claims and potential medical bills.

  • Professional liability insurance: Also known as malpractice insurance, professional liability insurance protects you against claims arising from actual or alleged professional negligence. For example, if a student lands poorly while attempting a jump or turn under your supervision and injures themselves, this coverage would protect you.

These coverages protect professionals from liability for non-physical injuries or damages resulting from actions like defamation, false arrest, invasion of privacy, and copyright or trademark infringement in advertising and marketing. This is an additional coverage type that is included in an Insure Fitness Group policy.

Identity theft is an increasing threat. Identity Theft Protection assists in covering the expenses related to recovering your identity should it be compromised, ensuring your personal and professional identities are secure. This is an additional coverage type that is included in an Insure Fitness Group policy.

Dance Instructor Insurance Guides & Resources

Do I Need Dance Instructor Liability Insurance?

Dance instructors need their own insurance policy—even when teaching at a studio or gym that carries coverage. While student safety is always a top priority, dance-related injuries can happen in any setting, regardless of experience level or supervision. Proper technique and safe movement instruction are essential, but they can’t eliminate risk entirely.

Choosing dance instructor liability insurance protects more than just your ability to teach. It demonstrates professionalism and reinforces the trust your students place in you. That trust plays a key role in long-term student relationships and helps distinguish you as a reliable instructor in a competitive industry.

With professional liability insurance in place, you gain peace of mind knowing you’re protected against potential claims. This allows you to stay focused on delivering safe, effective instruction—while confidently building a strong and respected future as a dance instructor.

Dance Instructor Insurance FAQs

Professional liability insurance for dance instructors, also known as errors and omissions insurance, protects you if a student claims you gave poor instruction, offered improper movement guidance, or led a class that resulted in an injury. For example, if a student strains a muscle while practicing a movement sequence and states that your instruction contributed to the injury, this coverage supports you with the financial means for legal defense and potential settlements. With Insure Fitness Group, you receive professional liability insurance, general liability insurance, personal and advertising injury protection, and identity theft protection.

 

Dance instructors need a comprehensive insurance policy that includes:

  • Professional Liability Insurance – Protects against claims of negligence, improper instruction, or injury resulting from teaching technique. This coverage applies to dance classes, private sessions, choreography instruction, and workshops.
  • General Liability Insurance – Covers third-party injuries not directly caused by instruction, such as a student tripping in your class or equipment falling in a studio.
  • Personal and Advertising Injury Coverage – Offers protection if you’re accused of libel, slander, copyright infringement, or privacy violations through marketing content or social media posts.
  • Identity Theft Protection – Includes up to $25,000 per year to help recover lost funds and repair your identity if your personal or professional data is misused.
  • Occurrence Form Coverage – Ensures you’re protected even after your policy ends, as long as the incident occurred during your active coverage period. This provides peace of mind over time, not just during your policy window.
  • Coverage for All Teaching Locations – Whether you teach in a studio, client’s home, community center, outdoors, or through virtual/online platforms, your policy applies across all U.S. states with no added cost or location-specific exclusions.
  • Instant Coverage and Free Certificates – Coverage begins immediately with no waiting period or quotes required, and you can download your Certificate of Insurance right after purchase.
  • Coverage for 500+ Modalities – From ballet and barre to Zumba®, personal training, HIIT, yoga, and more, this policy protects instructors across over 500 dance, fitness, and movement formats.

Together, these coverage types help protect your income, reputation, and teaching career—whether you’re leading a high-energy cardio class, conducting one-on-one choreography, or teaching virtually.

 

Liability insurance for dance instructors is not federally mandated, but many studios, community centers, and teaching venues request proof of coverage before allowing instructors to lead classes. Independent dance instructors teaching in private studios or home settings also benefit from having their own policy. Liability insurance strengthens your professionalism and protects you from costly legal challenges that sometimes occur in teaching environments.

 

Yes. A quality dance instructor liability insurance policy applies to your work in studios, client homes, community centers, outdoor spaces, and virtual teaching sessions. This flexibility supports dance instructors who travel, teach online, or offer instruction across multiple locations and schedules. Insure Fitness Group also provides nationwide coverage, giving you steady support in every approved teaching environment.

 

To file a claim under your dance instructor insurance policy, login to your member portal for contact information and instructions. They will guide you through a simple process. If you are unsure what is covered in relation to an incident in a studio, a client’s home, a virtual class, or another teaching environment, our team will help you determine eligibility and provide clear guidance. Claims support is part of what makes Insure Fitness Group a trusted insurance provider for professionals in the United States.

 

Occurrence coverage, which Insure Fitness Group provides, protects you after your policy expires for incidents that happened during your policy period. Claims-made coverage only protects you while your policy is active. With occurrence coverage, if someone files a claim years after your policy expires for an incident that happened while you were covered, you remain protected.

 

Yes. Studio insurance typically covers the facility, not individual instructors. If a student is injured during your class, the studio’s insurance may not cover you personally. Having your own coverage keeps you protected in any approved teaching environment.

 

Your policy includes virtual and online teaching sessions. Live video classes and digital instructional materials are included in your coverage.

 

Immediately. Unlike other providers that require quotes and waiting periods, you are able to purchase coverage and download your Certificate of Insurance within minutes of completing your application.

 

With occurrence coverage, you remain protected for incidents that happened during your covered period, even if a gap occurs after your policy ends. Maintaining continuous coverage is recommended for steady protection throughout your teaching schedule.
