Illinois dance studio bonds.
From $100.
Illinois regulates dance studios that sell prepaid lesson contracts under the Physical Fitness Services Act (815 ILCS 645). When a bond is required, it protects students who paid in advance if the studio closes. Pricing is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum. Enter the amount you were asked for and your exact price appears at the application.

What the dance studio bond actually covers
Illinois's Physical Fitness Services Act (815 ILCS 645) governs prepaid contracts for physical-fitness services — and the Act's definition of a physical fitness center reaches facilities that offer instruction in dancing along with gyms, spas, and studios. When a studio sells contracts that run beyond a short term, the Act's consumer-protection rules apply.
The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it backs the money students pay in advance for lessons. If a studio closes or stops providing the lessons a customer already paid for, the harmed customer can recover against the bond rather than being left with nothing.
The exact amount and whether a bond (versus another permitted security) is required depend on the contracts you sell and the form whoever is requiring it hands you. We don't guess at your figure — enter the amount you were asked for, and the premium is 0.5% of that amount, $100 minimum — exact price in the on-page calculator.
