Studio owners often ask me, “Do I really need to buy liability insurance?”
The short answer is a resounding yes! Dance studios have the same risk to being sued just like any other service providing business (Commercial General Liability, Third Party Liability, Public Liability). However Dance Studios also have the additional exposure of professional liability as the studio owner(s) and instructors are considered “Experts in their field”. So, if a student suffers a sprained or broken ankle, this could POTENTIALLY lead to a lawsuit.
You may feel that bumps, bruises, sprains and even a broken bone are part of “being a dancer” and you most likely suffered one or two of these injuries yourself. However, these days, people in our society would rather blame someone else than take responsibility for a bodily injury. This shows how easily a potential lawsuit could happen.
Lackner McLennan has been insuring Canadian businesses for over 65 years.

We know and understand what liability exposures you have as a dance studio owner and or individual instructor.
