Insurance type
An insurance against Civil Liability (Burgerlijke Aansprakelijkheid) covers the damages you may have to pay if anyone acting on behalf of your association causes damage or loss to a third party.
An insurance against personal accidents (Lichamelijke Ongevallen) covers the costs incurred if the insured has an accident.
You can find all information about the coverage in the document specific provisions relating to the Danspunt insurance.
Who is covered?
The insurance is ‘nominative’, so everyone whose name is submitted to Danspunt is insured. Dancers, teachers, volunteers, as well as people who work via AKV (Amateur Arts Compensation) can be insured.
Non-members who are present during, or who take part in, promotional activities (e.g. an introduction, trial lesson or open day) are also insured.
For people working under Article 17 (also called ‘verenigingswerkers’) you need to take out statutory occupational accident insurance. They are not covered by the Danspunt insurance.
Self-employed workers or people working via a SBK (Social Office for Artists) or a temping agency office do not normally have to be insured by you. They are covered by their own insurance.
What is covered?
The insurance covers your group’s usual activities. Dance classes and rehearsals, performances, events, barbecues, etc. are covered by the insurance.
Damage to infrastructure (e.g. damage to a rented dance studio) is not covered. If needed, you can take an optional extra insurance (see below: additions and extra insurance).
Please note: You may have to take out extra insurance for some activities, such as fire insurance or objective liability insurance for fire and explosion. Read more about or other compulsory insurances.
In the document specific provisions relating to the Danspunt insurance you can find more information about coverage.
How does it work?
You can sign up all or some of the members, participants or teachers of your group, company, school or dance organisation for 3 euro per person per year.
You can insure your group
- from September to the end of August (per academic year) or
- from January to the end of December (per calendar year)
You can sign up for the insurance at any time.
Sign up
You can still take out insurance for the school year 2025, so from September 2025 until the end of August 2026.
- Complete the digital order form (in Dutch) to ensure your insurance at Danspunt.
- As soon as you have all the details of the people you want to insure, complete the insurance list and send it to email hidden; JavaScript is required.

Danspunt invoices for insurance three times a year, so don’t worry if you don’t receive an invoice immediately. As long as we have received the order form, you can assume that your insurance is in order.
Day cover
In addition to the annual insurance, you can take out insurance for civil liability and personal accidents in the form of day cover for extra activities in which dancers or volunteers take part (dance camps, workshops, performances, etc).
Day cover costs 0.50 euro per person per day.
Please note: You can only make use of this day cover if your regular dancers, members, and/or teachers, etc, are covered by annual insurance via Danspunt.
For activities lasting six days or longer, it is better to take out annual insurance.
- Complete the online day cover form at least seven days before your activity (don’t forget to submit).
- You will receive an invoice after the activity.
