What is Barre?
Barre is a system of exercise marked by its use of the ballet barre to support individuals during practice. Most barre workouts combine elements of dance, Pilates and yoga; however, each method maintains slight structural differences from the others.
In practicing barre exercises, individuals hope to achieve lean, dancer-like physiques. Classes often require balance and stamina, as students are encouraged to maintain their poses for extended periods of time. The low-impact nature of the exercise also makes it a highly accessible workout regime, practiced by people of all ages, body types and fitness levels. Some methods even incorporate props, such as support cushions or straps, to accommodate those with injuries and health conditions.
What are the Health Benefits of Barre?
There are many health benefits associated with barre, including improved strength, flexibility, balance and alignment. By focusing on core stability, the workouts are able to stretch and strengthen the core abdominal muscles.
Although the exercises are challenging at times, their use of controlled, isometric movements reduces pressure on the joints, eliminating unnecessary tension in the body. The extended duration of poses also builds stamina, improves posture and increases flexibility.
History of Barre
Lotte Berk, a famous German ballet dancer, is often attributed as the founder of barre exercise. In the 1950s, she developed an exercise method for women to improve their core stability, strength and flexibility. Although founded in England, Berk’s method gained much popularity upon its arrival in the United States, inspiring other dancers, such as Cindy Sites, to develop similar techniques.
Barre instructor liability insurance can protect your career, reputation, and financial assets in the event a claim is made.
Potential liability risks insurance can shield you from include:
Humans may make mistakes while providing services with various techniques. If a mistake leads to harm or injury to a client, the professional could be held liable for negligence or malpractice. Professional liability insurance can help cover legal expenses and potential settlements or medical bills in such cases.
A client reports incidents of falling during a visit, alleging unsafe conditions or negligence. This doesn't happen often but if a claim is needed to be filed your general liability insurance would cover this incident.
A client alleges allergic reactions arising from the use of chemicals or lotions when treating a client during a session. Professional and general liability insurance would help cover the costs of medical bills.
In today's digital age, personal information security is paramount. NACAMS liability insurance provides coverage for identity protection, safeguarding you from the consequences of identity theft. Should your personal information be compromised, leading to fraudulent activities or financial loss, this coverage steps in to offer financial assistance and support to help restore your identity and mitigate the resulting damages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Certainly! We recognize that everyone operates their business differently and welcome diversifying your practice. For example, you may be a yoga instructor who also offers assisted stretching services or Barre classes. Selecting all the disciplines you provide will help ensure that your policy adequately meets your specific coverage needs.
Adding additional disciplines to your policy can be managed when going through your enrollment process. Simply select that option as you input your policy preferences and select all that apply. If you do not see the specific discipline you wish to add, you are welcome to give us a call at (888) 963-1472 to speak with a specialist. We’ll help walk you through the process of adding additional disciplines and answer any other questions you may have.
If you are like most of our clients, you have a few different focus areas in your business. Whether you are a cosmetologist who also offers massage or a yoga instructor who doubles as a dance teacher, getting the appropriate coverage is essential. You can select the applicable disciplines and add them to your policy during the application process. Adding a few focus areas does not incur an additional fee. You are welcome to add multiple disciplines to your policy if you like.

Yes, you can still be held liable for malpractice or an accidental injury, even as a student. While you are still honing your skills as an esthetician, personal trainer, or massage professional, accidents can happen.

Some programs require that you have liability insurance as a part of the course requirements, but not all will. Be sure you have the coverage to protect yourself if the worst should happen. We offer a student rate for a full year of coverage for just $60. That way, you can have access to the same great coverage as our professional policy, but at a deep discount.
Perhaps you are getting a personal trainer insurance policy and working with clients in different gyms. It’s important to have each business covered in your policy.

During the enrollment process, you have the option to add a business to your policy to ensure that you are covered wherever you work. You can add each business for an additional $10 for one year, $15.95 for a two-year plan, or add unlimited businesses for an additional $30.
