Do indepedent teachers need a business license?

Hello

I have a question regarding business licences. In the U.S., if I teach dancing (in California), do I need a business license? I can legally work in the U.S. Or does anyone know who/where should I ask about this? I have asked some independent teachers about this subject. I get conflicting answers. also any other resources for business or legal issues on starting as a new ballroom teacher in the U.S.?

Where I live I would not need a specific business licence as I don't have my own studio and am considered a "sole proprietor" as long as I operate my proprietorship under my own name.

E.G. Joe Smith Dance

One legal thing though is the need for good personal liability business insurance as sole proprietors do not have the same legal protection as a corporation. Incorporating would probably be an onerous cost for a solo teacher.
