Public Liability
Public Liability remains the primary cover subject. It can be relevant where a performer: Works at third-party venues Interacts with audiences Invites participation Uses props Uses performance equipment Performs at festivals Works at weddings and private parties Works at hotels and corporate venues Actual cover remains subject to policy terms, exclusions and the circumstances of any incident.
Employers' Liability

Mobile performers may transport: Costumes Limbo props Sound equipment Staging Merchandise Where the value and frequency justify it, Goods in Transit Insurance may be relevant. The need for transit cover depends on the type and value of equipment being transported.
Product Liability
Product Liability is not central to most limbo performers. It can become relevant where a business genuinely sells or supplies products or merchandise. Imported and own-brand products should be disclosed if they form part of the business.
Professional Indemnity
Professional Indemnity is not ordinarily a standard requirement for limbo performers. It may only be relevant where the business genuinely provides professional services such as: Dance consultancy Choreography advice Event planning Specialist advisory work
Claims and Risk Scenarios
Use short natural examples rather than a large claims list. ## Participant Injury A guest taking part in an audience-participation limbo activity is accidentally injured. ## Venue Damage Performance equipment or a prop accidentally damages property at a hotel or event venue. ## Equipment Incident A limbo bar, stand or other item contributes to an accident during the performance. ## Dance Floor Incident A performer or participant is involved in an incident on a temporary or unfamiliar performance surface. ## Sound Equipment Portable PA equipment contributes to accidental injury or damage at an event. ## Equipment Theft Costumes, sound equipment or performance props are stolen, subject to the applicable property insurance terms. ## Business Interruption An insured event affecting a dance studio or essential equipment disrupts a larger entertainment business.
