Insurance Secrets for Dance Companies: What Standard Insurance Outlines Don’t Tell You
Protect your art, your people, and your bottom line.
Most insurance sessions skim the surface, this one goes deeper. In just 75 minutes, we’ll unpack the overlooked risks and cost-saving opportunities that matter most to dance companies. From understanding what Directors & Officers policies actually cover, to navigating cyber liability, workers’ comp across state lines, international touring coverage, and even how choreographers are classified on audits. This session will cut through the confusion and arm you with insider knowledge.
You’ll also learn practical strategies to lower your overall insurance costs while ensuring you’re fully protected, plus have the chance to raise your own pressing questions in real time.
Exclusively for Dance/USA members — free of charge. This webinar will not be recorded or shared with non-members. Don’t miss your chance to access these insurance insights you won’t find anywhere else.
