Surety Bonds Florida:

Dance Studio Bond

A Dance Studio Bond is required by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. According to Section 501.143, Florida Statutes, the Dance Studio Act requires ballroom dance studios or individuals offering ballroom dance studio lessons or services in Florida to register annually with the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. In addition, if the dance studio or individual has been in business for less than three years and receives or requires an advance payment in excess of $250 or receives payments in installments, it must post a Surety Bond. This law also requires that all contracts for dance studio services or lessons be in writing and contain certain consumer protection clauses.
