What is Dance Instructor Insurance?

Dance instructor liability insurance is a unique coverage designed to help you pay for accidental injuries and damages that occur while you’re teaching a class or running your business.

If a student breaks an ankle during a private lesson or accidentally rips the stage curtains during a rehearsal, dance insurance may help you cover the cost of medical bills, legal fees, repairs, and more.

You can also use it to help insure your gear, such as costumes, props, and speakers.

Insurance Canopy covers you while teaching 300+ styles of dance, fusions, and children’s classes in most locations, including online and virtual classes. Plus, our nationwide coverage lets you comfortably work in more than one place, such as studios, your home, community centers, and gyms.

How Much Does Dance Instructor Insurance Cost?

You can buy a dance teacher insurance policy for as low as $12.50/month or $129/year through Insurance Canopy.

Our base dance class insurance plan includes general and professional liability insurance. You can also add on optional coverages to better meet your needs, such as equipment coverage for just $1.33/month.

Do I Need Liability Insurance As A Dance Teacher?

You never know when a student might mistakenly pirouette into another person or backflip into a wall mirror. Studios might even require you to have liability insurance before they can hire you.

Having dance insurance may help you:

  • Pay for most, or all, of a claim
  • Stay eligible to teach in most studios
  • Insure your equipment and gear
  • Cover online and virtual classes


You can buy a policy online in minutes and enjoy instant, same-day coverage with Insurance Canopy.
