As a Zumba instructor, you bring the energy, movement, and motivation to your classes. But even with the best choreography and safety practices, accidents can happen. Whether you’re teaching in a studio, a community center, or streaming classes online, Zumba instructor insurance helps protect you from the unexpected.
Zumba instructor insurance is a type of liability insurance for Zumba instructors that is tailored to the unique risks of teaching dance-fitness classes. The most common type of policy for a Zumba instructor is professional liability insurance. This Zumba liability insurance type is specifically designed to cover businesses that offer advice. It helps cover legal fees and damages if someone gets hurt during one of your sessions or if you’re accused of professional negligence.
The other most important type of coverage for a zumba class is general liability insurance. This one covers many of the broad categories of insurance, like a slip and fall, but can also be more specific. For example, if someone gets injured during your Zumba class, regardless of your instructions, general liability can help with their medical bills.
Many providers will offer a special policy designed for the fitness industry and may even brand it as “Zumba insurance.” This policy will be a combination of general and professional liability coverage for group fitness instructors.
Did you know? There is a lot of overlap between Zumba instructor insurance, Pilates instructor insurance and Yoga liability insurance. But it is still important to make sure you’re getting the right insurance for your profession. Not sure? Check out our guide on Yoga Insurance and Pilates Instructor Insurance.
Whether you’re part-time or full-time, working independently or for a studio, insurance provides a safety net. Here are a few reasons you need it:
Not all insurance is created equal. While there are some specific policies that are may fit your business better than other, these are the core policies Zumba instructors should consider:
Covers bodily injury and property damage that might occur during a class. For example, if someone twists an ankle or knocks over an expensive speaker owned by the gym, this is the coverage you need. It can also help you with damage to any rented space.
Covers claims related to your instruction. If a student says your warm-up routine caused an injury due this insurance kicks in and can help with investigation and defense costs.
💡 Many providers now cover virtual classes through this coverage but check with your carrier to make sure before you start teaching people online.
Zumba teacher insurance is primarily a combination of professional liability and general liability insurance. However, if you have equipment, then you should consider purchasing inland marine insurance for your equipment too. If you bring your own sound system, mats, or other gear, you can add coverage to protect it from theft or damage.
Teaching virtual classes? If a data breach exposes client info, this coverage helps with legal and recovery costs.
Thankfully, you won’t break the bank purchasing zumba instructor insurance as it is typically affordable, especially considering the protection it provides. Most policies offer general and professional liability coverage, and costs can vary based on location, coverage limits, and optional add-ons. Below is a general cost overview based on published premiums from leading carriers including Next Insurance.
| Plan Type | Monthly Cost | Annual Cost | Common Coverage Limits |
| Basic Coverage | $11-$22 | $129-$194 | $1M per occurrence/$2M total |
| With add ons | +$1-$10 | Varies | May include property or cyber |
| Higher limit policies | $25+ | $200+ | Up to $5M aggregate |
Key Considerations When Reviewing Zumba Liability Insurance Costs
Buying coverage is easier than ever. Whether you’re interested in comparing quotes to find cheap business insurance or want to work directly with a carrier here’s how to get started:
It will depend on your employment status with the gym. If you are an independent contractor then you will need your own insurance. Even if you are an employee, insurance gives you the freedom to teach whenever or wherever you like. Let’s say you want to offer a free Zumba class for your church: having your own policy ensures you’re covered no matter where you work.
It typically costs between $150 and $250 per year, depending on your location, coverage limits, and number of classes. See more on its dedicated section.
Most instructor policies cover virtual and outdoor classes—but check the fine print to be sure. Some insurers may require you to list these activities explicitly.
Your Zumba classes are fun, fast-paced, and empowering—make sure your business is protected with the right insurance. With general and professional liability coverage, you can dance with peace of mind knowing you’re covered.
Whether you teach at a studio, go virtual, or move to the beat between both, insurance isn’t just a nice-to-have: it’s part of being a smart, professional Zumba instructor.

Good company. Good and knowledgable customer service. If they don't know something they will pass you on to a more experienced rep that is more knowledgable. So far so good.

Embroker sells a product that it doesn't honor. We purchased a combination D&O and EPLI policy. However, when it came to renewal, it told us that we only had D&O coverage even through our ACCORD certificate clearly mentions we have both. Basically they refused to honor the EPLI coverage and will leave you hanging with the bag. At time of renewal, they more than doubled our quote to get similar coverage. Basically BAIT & SWITCH. Unacceptable tactics. Easy to buy and pay but you may not be... Read More

Great platform. Terrible policy. There is no teeth behind it. No coverage. It's a fake policy that they sell. Sold us an EPLI policy that later we came to find out had no EPLI coverage. Amazing that they can get away with outright fraud. Check the positive reviews. They are all 'Anonymous' posted by Emroker staff. Stay away and find a real policy that will actually provide you coverage. We've been bitten by them and hope to find restitution via a lawsuit.

This company gives you a price that was in place for a year and when you have to use it there is fine print were they can go back and charge you more. Would not recommend them to any one. Crooks

Worst insurance comapny I have ever dealt with. A commercial vehicle represented by GUARD t boned my wife and daughters family vehicle in the middle of the day. Driver was cited and insurance claim insued. Fast forward 4 months and refusal of full amount of claim is still happening. Driver was found guilty, repairs started on my vehicle and when it comes to the final bill and diminished value we cannot get any help. I am out a family car, have an injured and traumatized wife and children,... Read More

Extremely bad service, when you call , will make you wait on the phone for ever (over an Hour) and still no one to answer , so you end up hanging up. To cancel the policy, bounce you from one department to the other. They are supposed to refund from the date other insurance started and after sending the proof of other insurance policy, still they did not refund based on that actual date instead they use the date i managed to get hold of them. They charged me $7000.00 for a year's insurance on... Read More

Guard Insurance is terrible. They were so bad I cancelled them because them couldn't figure out why I would never get a paper copy of the bill . Verified my address with them and still intermittent billing. I cancelled them in March through my local broker. Today 6/27 I get a letter in the mail from a collections company saying I owe 87.97. This was the first myself or my broker heard of owing this money. Here is some advice for this failure of a company send me a god damn bill and I will pay.... Read More

My employer had to have workers compensation by law. He obtained a policy through this Berkshire Hathaway GUARD and they failed me. I fell from a ladder and fractured my spine in 7 different places, my clavicle in 4 places, and the base of my skull. Going to my Dr visits I was prescribed medication for pain and the insurance company placed a pre-authorization hold on me picking up the medication from Walgreens. The hold lasted 5 days! My weekly benefits have never been on time, right now... Read More

Liberty Mutual is one of the more simple companies to deal with. I had to file a claim for my business owner policy after I caught one of my employees stealing a large amount of products from my business. Liberty mutual paid the claim fast and with no efforts. I wish the legal process was as easy…

Their customer service is absolutely fantastic. Very patient, knowledgable and provided excellent explanation of the purchased policy. I would highly recommend this insurance company to anyone that's looking to protect their business from unexpected expense. Thank you Hiscox for doing a great job for my business!

STAY AWAY! I wouldn't recommend hiscox small business liability insurance to anyone. Better not waste both your money and your time. Hiscox customer service is extremely unpleasant, not organized and not professional. It is the worst company we have dealt with in almost 25 years in business!

Good company. Good and knowledgable customer service. If they don't know something they will pass you on to a more experienced rep that is more knowledgable. So far so good.

It doesn't really feel sustainable to me and doesn't offer business interruption, product liability and commercial property insurance. They have no local agents and despite their technology first approach you cannot file claims online. Additionally, product manufacturers are not covered by Thimble and they don't provide enterprise solutions.
10 / 10
As a contractor that works 3 times a week for a few hours, Thimble gets really handy for me and saves me money. I have no use for these massive business insurance coverages offered by traditional insurance companies.
