About our insurance policy and our aims to support our dance community.
Now, as the Mosaic Arabic Dance Network, the membership has grown significantly and comes from all over the UK and abroad. It is recognized that styles or traditions of dance from different parts of the Arab World are very varied and MADN makes no attempt at a precise definition.
However, it is not uncommon for someone to go to a few lessons and maybe pick up a couple of spectacular moves from a highly trained professional dancer. Then, after getting a few bookings as a dancer but with no other training in dance or teaching, the individual sets up as a teacher.
Unfortunately, such teachers will often have little knowledge of anatomy and exercise physiology (how the body works) and do not realise that the instructions they give to a class have the potential for causing injury.
Insurance is about taking on known risks. This keeps the premiums low. Therefore, in order to obtain insurance under the MADN Teacher’s Insurance Scheme, you must be able to demonstrate that you have a sound knowledge of warm-up, teaching techniques and safety awareness and be able to teach safely, and carry out first aid if it is needed.
