Why do Dance Teachers need insurance?

Whether you’re teaching dance, performing, or operating a studio, all dancers have one thing in common – you have the ability to astonish an audience with your movements. However, an unfortunate reality is that no matter how smooth your movements are, sometimes disaster can waltz into your life without any warning. Be it someone falling over at your studio, or a student alleging a dance move you taught caused them injury, some events can send your world into an imperfect pirouette, and the consequences of such events can take a serious toll on you financially and professionally.

Therefore, insurance is an important consideration for dancers and dance teachers and something you wouldn’t want to put in a corner. Having appropriate insurance cover in place can help ensure you can face the difficulty associated with certain incidents and don’t find yourself with significant out of pocket costs.

Why do Dancers and Dance Teachers need Public Liability Insurance?
Picture this: You are in the middle of a lesson teaching a group to foxtrot when suddenly there is a loud crash, one of the mirrors on the wall has fallen off and broken glass is everywhere. Unfortunately, it has also landed on the groups personal items and one person has received a cut from the glass. You could be held legally liable for any damage caused to property and for any injuries that may have been incurred. Public Liability Insurance helps cover your legal liability for property damage and/or bodily injury to a third party caused by an occurrence happening in connection with your business activities during the period of insurance.

Even if you’re not teaching a class, and only performing, PL is still an important cover to consider as you may be held liable for injury to another dancer, or damage to a venue as a result of your activities.
Can the Dance Insurance cover arranged through Aon cover Property Owners Liability?
Yes, if you own the building your studio is located in, cover can be provided under the policy.

Can I pay my premium on a monthly basis?
We are able to arrange periodical payment solutions including monthly payment through our premium funding option. This option is not available through our online quoting system, so if you are interested in premium funding, we ask that you please contact our Entertainment team on 1800 806 584 or au.entertainment@aon.com

I am travelling overseas to perform, will my policy still cover me?
The Dance Public & Products Liability arranged through Aon provides worldwide cover, excluding the United States of America, Canada and their respective protectorates and territories. If you are travelling to these excluded regions, please contact our office to discuss.

What is retroactive cover and do I need it?
Retroactive cover is a feature of Professional Indemnity Insurance and provides coverage for incidents that occurred before the policy was taken out. When taking out Professional Indemnity cover, you will be asked to nominate a retroactive date, or the insurer may impose one. It is an important cover to include as claims can arise from a lesson or performance you have provided in the past. Having retroactive cover can help ensure you’re still able to make a claim for certain previous incidents.

How do I make a claim?
​You will find details of how to make a claim in the policy wording you receive from us. However, we also appreciate that having to make a claim can be a stressful time which is why as your advocate we are always on hand to help with any questions. Please do not hesitate to call us on 1800 806 584.

What if I need to make a change to my policy?
It is important to keep your policy up to date with the changing shape of your work but also to keep your business and personal information up to date in the event of a claim.

Should your business circumstances have changed, for example you have changed the services that you offer and you are not sure if your existing insurance covers it anymore, then you can always call one of our experienced friendly brokers to discuss on 1800 806 584.

How do I renew my policy?
Your renewal offer and schedule will be sent to you via your elected email address approximately 30 days before your renewal date. It is important at this stage to review the details of our offer carefully (remember pricing and coverage levels may have changed so it is important to review).
