Are you a callerlab member? (I'm not. When I got Callerlab insurance through CDSS, I
don't believe it included BMI/ASCAP coverage. [This was years ago and I'm not a
square dance caller and I almost always work with live music or (rarely) recorded trad or
historical tunes that aren't BMI/ASCAP registered, so I didn't pursue it and may
perhaps misremember the details.]

Luke, I get my insurance from Callerlab because, for $28 extra, it also covers BMI/ASCAP.
So far I have taken just one dancer to the E. R., but that was enough to convince me of
the value of insurance.

Hello all,
In a regular year, this is about when I'd be signing up for my annual caller's
insurance through CDSS.
This year, the policy is running for the same time-frame, May to May. Given that
there's no in-person dancing now or for months, that seemed sub-optimal, since they
won't pro-rate it for later in the year.
The policy through CDSS is apparently also explicitly NOT covering anything covid related.
Apparently the insurance companies don't want to open up their liability. I can't
say their policy is that inspiring if they won't cover the first thing I've ever
actually worried about at a dance. I can see not starting it now, but it seemed odd that
it's the blanket no-go for the foreseeable future.
So I'm wondering if there are other options or policies that folks are using?
Something that starts on a different calendar and/or covers for covid possibilities?
Looking forward to safely getting back together for community dancing again.
Luke
