Florida dance studio bond.
$10,000. $100 flat.

Florida treats a dance studio that sells prepaid lesson packages as a health studio under the Consumer Protection statute, and requires it to register with FDACS and back members' prepaid dues with security. The $10,000 bond is the reduced figure available to studios whose outstanding prepaid contracts stay under the cap. Ours is $100 flat.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the studio bond actually covers

Florida's health-studio law (F.S. 501.012 through 501.019, with definitions at F.S. 501.0125) covers any business selling prepaid instruction or facility access for physical exercise — and a dance studio that sells prepaid lesson packages falls inside it. The studio registers with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) and posts security to protect members' prepaid money.

The bond is consumer protection: if a studio closes or fails to deliver the contracted services, a member who paid in advance can recover against it. The studio is the principal, the surety stands behind it, and FDACS is the obligee for the benefit of harmed members.

The standard health-studio bond is $25,000. FDACS allows a reduced $10,000 bond when a studio's outstanding prepaid contract liability stays under the statutory cap and it files the required annual membership report. Confirm which figure applies to your studio before you file — this page prices the $10,000 bond at $100 flat.

F.S. 501.012–501.019 (health studios; FDACS)Florida health studios register with FDACS and post security under F.S. 501.012–501.019 (definitions at F.S. 501.0125). The standard bond is $25,000; a reduced $10,000 bond is available when outstanding prepaid membership liability stays under the statutory cap and the studio files its annual membership report. A dance studio selling prepaid packages is generally treated as a health studio — confirm your required amount with FDACS.

The bond protects members' prepaid money if the studio closes.
Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability to harmed members — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
When does the $10,000 amount apply instead of $25,000?FDACS allows the reduced $10,000 bond when a studio keeps its outstanding prepaid contract liability under the statutory cap and files the required annual membership report. Confirm with FDACS which figure your studio qualifies for.
