Update July 2019: The California dance studio bond does not have a credit inquiry with AmeriPro Surety Bonds. The $25,000 CA dance studio bond is an instant issue surety for $375, annually. This means that after completion of an application and payment of the premium, the bond is immediately issued to you.
Whether it be ballroom dancing, line dancing, or far more modern forms of this art of expression, in California, dance studios are regulated by the California Secretary of State.
The provisions which govern dance studio apply to both groups and individuals.
Persons who join dance studios for the purposes of learning this art form are required to be given a contract in writing.
Financing of the membership at a dance studio may not exceed one year. It also may not be measured by the life of the contract buyer.
Contracts for dance studios must also begin no later than 6 months from the date that the contract is signed.
Additionally, contracts for dance studios must clearly spell out the rate per hour the buyer is being charged. If there are different rates for different activities, these must be made clearly known in the contract as well.
If the buyer of a membership at a dance studio either becomes disabled or dies before the end of any contract which has been prepaid, upon notification to the dance studio, any and all lessons which have been unused must either be returned to the buyer or the representative of the buyer if the buyer is deceased.
The return of these funds must be issued immediately.
Buyers who cancel their membership after having signed a contract must be given a refund of any unused portion of their membership on a pro rata basis.
This information regarding dance studio obligations to customers is not all encompassing, and you will want to familiarize yourself with the complete rules and regulations.
Any attempt to waive these stipulations by a buyer is considered invalid.
Besides all of the above, dance studios contracts are required to state that there is an active surety bond which has been purchased.
The California Secretary of State requires that dance studios purchase a surety bond and have the bond filed with its office (the filing fee is $30).
The bond is designed to protect the buyers of dance studio services from acts of fraud, dishonesty, or failure to provide the services agreed to.
