Start the review with performer injury.
For Dance Companies, the saved research highlights performer injury, premises liability, production property. Confirm how these arise in the actual operation, what controls are used and whether additional services change the proposed coverage.
Questions to ask
- Does the company own, lease, or rent its performance and rehearsal spaces — or some combination?
- Are performers classified as employees, independent contractors, or a mix?
- What is the estimated total value of production property including costumes, sets, props, and equipment?
- Does the company tour, and if so, domestically or internationally?
- Are any aerial, acrobatic, pyrotechnic, or special effects elements part of productions?
- Is the company a nonprofit, and if so, does it have a board that could benefit from D&O coverage?
- For Dance Companies, what should the underwriter know about aerial, acrobatic, or circus-arts elements incorporated into productions?
- For Dance Companies, what should the underwriter know about pyrotechnics, open flame, or special effects during performances?

Dance companies rehearse and perform live theatrical dance productions — ballet, contemporary, folk, modern, and other forms — before live audiences. Operations may involve a company-owned or leased performance venue, or the group may tour to rented theaters and arts centers. Many companies employ a mix of full-time salaried staff, part-time employees, and independent contractor performers.
