Insurance

In order to teach class or hold an event at Redwood Raks you'll need liability insurance. This protects me and the assets of the studio from activities under your direction while you're teaching class or holding an event. Also, it's really a good idea to protect you from professional and general liablilities you face in offering your classes or event to the public.

SPECIAL EVENTS:

For special events, you can often include an "additional insured" onto a homeowner or renter insurance policy. Just call your company and see if it's possible. They'll probably ask for many details about the event or have a questionnaire for you to fill out, so be ready. Call (707) 616-6876 or email to learn more. You should do this well in advance, at least 30 days prior to your event.

DANCE TEACHERS:

Venbrook Insurance

• This place seems great, and is less expensive. I have no experience with them personally, except one phone call to make sure they were a good type of insurance company for teachers at Redwood Raks. They were very nice and helpful.
• It's designed more for fitness instructors, but dance teachers are accepted, too. It's about $210-250 depending on the policy you choose, and up to 10 additional insured are free (like Redwood Raks, etc).
