Whether it’s a broken water pipe or a broken leg, insurance can protect you from financial loss.

If you’re a traditional dance studio teaching predominately youth dance, you probably know about the need for property and casualty coverage. But not all insurance programs dance to the same tune.

Our experience and quality of programs can help you get the right coverage for your needs. And that can help you keep your focus on training the next generation of dance stars. 

Why is insurance for dance studios important?

Any serious injury to your students can cause an emotional trauma for you and everyone in your school. But there’s also the financial trauma you alone could face. That’s why you should carry liability insurance.

Other types of insurance may help you protect yourself and your studio. As an example, what would you do if a pipe freezes and floods your studio? Or if you have to close your studio due to a covered loss – what will you do for income and expenses?
