Why do I need Zumba Instructor Insurance?

As a Zumba instructor, you feel the rhythm and the burn. Your students get in shape and keep a healthy routine to the beat of your rhythm, dancing their way to vitality. Your room itself is energy; your movements heal; your music inspires; and you make exercising fun.

Every day that you’re in the studio or teaching a class, you should feel the same peace of mind as your students. You should walk into your class with energy, then leave without a worry or concern.

That’s where Thimble’s Zumba Instructor Insurance can help.

The reality is that your practice involves physicality. Your students move quickly, keeping step in your high-energy programs. Unfortunately, every class you teach poses its own set of risks.

Say you’re introducing a new choreography to a class. Should this practice lead to a student spraining their ankle, you could be on the hook for a bodily injury claim. This can occur even if it had nothing to do with your instruction. Crazy, right?

Or, if you’re at a client’s home teaching a private class, you might not have the perfect space to use. Should this lead to an accident, where you break something inside the house, you could be liable for third-party property damage.

What happens when one of your students decides they want to become a Zumba instructor? They seek your guidance. You train them. Sadly, they don’t land the job at their dream studio. Should your client become litigious and sue you for negligence, claiming you lost them money due to the job she would’ve had otherwise, you could find yourself liable.

That’s why every Zumba instructor benefits from a general liability insurance and professional liability insurance policy. General liability insurance protects you from third-party claims of bodily injury, personal and advertising injury, and property damage. Professional liability covers you in the case of professional negligence.

Thimble’s Zumba Instructor Insurance includes both.

What does Zumba Instructor Insurance cover?

Thimble’s Zumba Instructor Insurance, which includes both general liability and professional liability, is designed to protect you from situations like the following:

Third-party, non-employee bodily injury

While you’re holding a class, should any of your movements lead to a student incurring an injury, if they filed a bodily injury claim, you could be liable.

Third-party property damage

While you’re teaching a class at a client’s home, you’re constantly moving around a makeshift area. While you’re careful not to damage any of their items, should an accident occur and you break something, then you could be on the hook for third-party property damage. The same could apply to the studios you work out of.

Defense costs

While advertising a hot new class you’re bringing to market, you take some light jabs at a competitor. Additionally, a student could suffer an injury and decide to get litigious. Should either your competitor or student file a lawsuit against you, you’d be liable for paying for your own defense team.

Errors & omissions

Clients look to you for advice. You’re an instructor. Should the advice you provide ever lead a client astray, causing them to incur a financial loss, they can claim that you were negligent in your professional services. You could be liable, even if their claim is baseless.

General Liability Insurance

General liability insurance or “CGL” provides coverage against third-party claims for property damage, bodily injury, and personal and advertising injury. That means the everyday accidents that can happen on the job: slip and falls, flying tools, or spilling coffee on a customer’s laptop—you get the idea. CGL is one of the most basic types of insurance for small businesses.

The studio I work for already carries business insurance. Do I need my own Zumba instructor insurance policy?

It’s always important that you have a policy in place that works for you. While studios use you for their classes, their policies are always going to protect them first.

And, when you’re growing your Zumba instructor business, you’re going to want your own safeguards. For instance, what happens when a lawsuit is filed against a studio yet you’re named in it? You could be liable.

Also, having your own policy reinforces your credibility. A studio is going to take your professionalism seriously when you show up to class with your own COI. Additionally, if you’re holding a class at a health and wellness event or conference, the event manager is going to want to ensure you have coverage. This also applies if you rent space at a studio.

At the end of the day, you need to be protected against third-party claims of bodily injury, personal and advertising injury, property damage, and negligence.

What are the Zumba Instructor Insurance policy limits?

Thimble’s Zumba Instructor Insurance comes in two different policy limits: $1 million and $2 million. Depending on the risk you want to be protected against, you can choose $1 million or opt in for more coverage at $2 million.

Are workplace injuries of my staff covered?

No. General liability insurance only covers injuries that occur to third parties. If you’re worried about your staff (or if you hire other teachers to help with your classes), then you should look into a workers’ compensation policy.

Does Thimble’s Zumba Instructor Insurance cover damage to my equipment?

Also no. General liability insurance doesn’t protect any of your own Zumba class equipment. It only protects against damages incurred to a third party’s property. Should you want to protect your own equipment, you might want to consider a commercial liability insurance policy.
