Ballet Instructor Liability Insurance Policy Details

Insure Fitness Group stands apart from other insurance providers by offering one of the most affordable ballet instructor insurance options available, plus we provide occurrence form coverage. This means you’re protected for claims related to incidents that took place during your policy period, even if your coverage has since expired.

Wouldn’t it feel reassuring to know you’re still protected, even after your insurance policy ends?

Policy Limits

There are two primary types of liability insurance: professional and general liability insurance. They are both necessary for every fitness professional.

  • 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 client trips and breaks their ankle on an uneven surface in your gym, this type of insurance would protect you from the resulting claims.

  • 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 client drops a barbell and injures themselves during a workout under your supervision, 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/trademark infringement in advertising and marketing. This is an additional coverage type that is included in an IFG 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 IFG policy.

Ballet Instructor Liability Insurance

What Kind of Insurance Do Ballet Instructors Need?

Ballet instructors should carry both professional liability insurance and general liability insurance. These types of insurance coverage help protect ballet professionals from claims involving negligence, improper instruction, and common slip-and-fall accidents that can occur during ballet classes.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, there are an estimated 460,000 fitness-related injuries reported each year. In the ballet world, injuries that may lead to lawsuits include sprained ankles, torn ligaments, stress fractures, and concussions, especially in dynamic group classes or during intense rehearsals and recitals.

Having ballet instructor liability insurance is vital to protecting your career and financial well-being from unexpected claims. To reduce risks even further, make sure you’re properly trained in the styles you teach and that all students sign a liability waiver before participating in your ballet activities.

What Kind of Incidents Does Our Liability Insurance Cover?

Slips & Falls

Slip-and-fall accidents are surprisingly common in the ballet world, whether it’s a slick studio floor, loose costume piece, or misplaced prop. If a student gets hurt during your class or rehearsal, you could be held liable. Our general liability insurance helps protect you in these situations.

Injuries During Ballet Instruction

Ballet is physically demanding, and students suffer from pulled muscles, sprains, or joint injuries during classes or performances. Our professional liability insurance helps cover claims related to injuries that occur under your instruction, so you can focus on teaching rather than worrying about potential lawsuits.

Virtual Ballet Classes

Teaching ballet online? Accidents still happen, whether it’s a live-streamed ballet session or a pre-recorded ballet routine. If a student is injured while following your virtual instruction, you may be held responsible. Our ballet teacher insurance also provides coverage for remote teaching.

Ballet Equipment Incidents

From portable barres tipping over to tripping hazards caused by props or staging, ballet studio environments come with their own unique risks. If a student gets injured during a recital or while using equipment in your class, your liability coverage helps protect you from claims.
