Types of exposure that dance schools need protection from:

Premises liability exposure

This is probably your biggest concern.

  • Make sure that you have sufficient adult supervision for the number of children you have.
  • Regular hardwood floor maintenance can prevent slips and falls.
  • Teach your staff the importance of good housekeeping including the immediate clean up of all spills and leaks.
  • Make sure all exits are clear of obstructions and are clearly marked.
  • Make sure emergency lighting is working.
  • Parking lots and sidewalks need to be repaired.
  • Remove ice and snow as soon as possible.
  • Evacuation drills should be held on a regular basis.

Automobile exposures

Does your staff use company vehicles to run errands? Be sure that all drivers have up to date valid driver's licenses and clean MVR's.

Personal and advertising injury exposures include

  • Wrongful expulsion
  • Invasion of privacy
  • Unauthorized or intrusive searches
  • Failure to prevent intimidation
  • Humiliation
  • Hazing or bullying by instructors or other students
  • False arrest or detention
  • Copyright or patent infringement.

Protect your studio by putting down procedures in writing to prevent each of these.

Workers compensation exposures

Teachers working with students can easily receive injuries from lifting, hernias, back sprains, and strains. Unauthorized visitors can pose a threat to your employees and your students.

Property exposure

Your biggest concerns are due to equipment, machinery, and electrical wiring. Make sure everything is maintained and meets current codes.

The chemicals used to maintain the hardwood floors that your students dance on are probably flammable. Keep these closed tightly, locked up, and secured to prevent fire or explosion risks.

Costumes and backdrop curtains can easily catch fire. Be sure to keep fire extinguishers nearby.

Abuse and molestation exposure

Sadly this is a major concern today. Parents entrust their children and teens to your protection. Be sure to do background checks on all employees. Closely monitor and supervise them. Be sure to report all allegations of abuse to the proper authorities.

Inland marine exposures:

  • Accounts receivable for tuition payments.
  • Audio/visual equipment that may be taken off-site for recitals and competitions.
  • Computers used in the office and for choreographing.
  • Valuable papers and records, including your student records.
  • Theatrical property floater for backdrops, costumes, and other items used when the students perform off-site.

Crime exposures

Your biggest concerns are from dishonest employees. Wisdom dictates that you do background checks on all employees that handle money and credit card payments. Audit the books each year.
