https://www.studioveena.com/users/view/4ec02973-3eb8-4452-aceb-7b0c0ac37250 – How does that work in a studio that has instructors that are not certified? Because there are plenty out there..
Do you have any idea how many studios don't have the right insurance? I also know so many instructors that do not carry their own insurance. Yeah, you can get away with it but really, if something happens you are totally screwed.
This is probably the best insurance out there as it is designed for pole dancing. They will insure you even if you do not have any certifications, however your premium will be much higher. I believe that they do require CPR. http://insurance4poledancers.com/i4pd/

I see a bunch of pictures of Charley on that site!!!

Here's what you CAN do though and I currently do this – you can offer in home lessons and a clients house. I have a friend who hires me to teach her at her home – that you can do. It's the same as in home pole parties. Not sure if that is a good option for you but it's safer and legal. All you would need is instructor insurance. I checked up on this before doing it – so you can do it!

I am not looking to make a fortune..just some extra spending money…maybe eventually open a studio…but as with the injury someone can walk n my yard and sprain their ankle

I was thinking of doing in home but don’t have a portable pole,x stage, etc….that’s y I was thinking in my house at first..thanks charley

Charley, do you still carry insurance for that?
-
Madison, you came here and asked for advice. I am sorry that you are not hearing what you wanted to hear. Charley has been an instructor for as long as I can remember. She runs a huge showcase every year and is organizing a division of the Midwest comp. She knows a little bit about the business of pole. Many of us have been around the forums for several years and are just sharing our knowledge.

@MadisonsWorld – yes someone can fall off your porch and sue but the point was that it's more likely with teaching something acrobatic and if your home isn't zoned for commercial business – that's an issue and your home owners insurance is far more likely to cover and settle over the mailman tripping on a clean front porch than someone falling off of a pole.
No matter how good of an instructor you are – people can fall. I still fall off the pole. I had a student who had been doing a move consistantly for years on static and spin fall off the pole because she just lost her grip – it happens. Better to be in a place where everything is legal eagle is all I am saying.
Have you thought about offering only privates out of a studio? I do this, I also offer workshops at studios too and do my have pole will travel thing. It's been really nice – it's still on my time and I make my own schedule I just don't do it at my house – that's the only difference – so that might be something to look at?

Just instructor insurance 🙂

All the info I presented was from doing a bunch of research. I had originally considered doing exactly what you are thinking of doing, and I had many sources say it is a bad idea and not worth the risk.

Chem- I am hearing you I am just making a reference and yes i am asking to find out more info so I am educated on something I KNOw I am familiar with…I own a business and am familiar with insurance and liability,just not for something like this out of my own home..
-
@MadisonsWorld – if you have an X-pole or removable – you can use that – just makes sure that the client has given you the correct ceiling info and that they know how the pole works.
I use my X-poles and take them up and down – they are pretty easy and I'm turning into a pro pole setter upper, lol!

** am not familiar with

I do appreciate and value everyone’s info and feedback..that’s y I posted here…

Do you have a pole at home right now? I recommend X-poles and they go to around 9ft out of box and is in pieces – you can even buy extensions – if you are going the "have pole will travel" route – I suggest that kind of pole.
