About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the dance studio bond actually covers

Illinois's Physical Fitness Services Act (815 ILCS 645) governs prepaid contracts for physical-fitness services — and the Act's definition of a physical fitness center reaches facilities that offer instruction in dancing along with gyms, spas, and studios. When a studio sells contracts that run beyond a short term, the Act's consumer-protection rules apply.

The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it backs the money students pay in advance for lessons. If a studio closes or stops providing the lessons a customer already paid for, the harmed customer can recover against the bond rather than being left with nothing.

The exact amount and whether a bond (versus another permitted security) is required depend on the contracts you sell and the form whoever is requiring it hands you. We don't guess at your figure — enter the amount you were asked for, and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.

815 ILCS 645 (Physical Fitness Services Act)The Illinois Physical Fitness Services Act, 815 ILCS 645, regulates prepaid contracts for physical fitness services, and its definition of covered facilities includes those offering instruction in dancing. The Act sets bonding/security and contract-cancellation protections for customers who prepay. The required amount and security form depend on your contracts — confirm the figure on the form you were given, and we'll issue it.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Illinois dance studio bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The bond amount itself depends on the prepaid contracts you sell and the form you were given — enter that figure and the quote updates.
Why would a dance studio need a bond? +
Illinois regulates prepaid physical-fitness contracts under the Physical Fitness Services Act (815 ILCS 645), whose covered facilities include those offering dance instruction. The bond protects students who pay in advance if the studio closes before delivering the lessons.
Is there a credit check? +
No — the dance studio bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
What does the bond protect against? +
It backs the money students prepay. If you close or stop providing lessons that were already paid for, a harmed customer can claim against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. It is not insurance for you.
What amount should I choose if I'm not sure? +
Use the figure on the form whoever is requiring the bond gave you — the amount tracks your prepaid contracts, so there is no single statewide number. Send us the request and we'll confirm before issuing.
