A good place to start
Our partners
We host courses and run projects with partners across UK dance. Each partner page explains what’s on offer and who you pay.
The blog
Every Friday we round up the news that matters to dance teachers. In between, we publish practical guides on the things that come up in real studios: safeguarding, music licences, first aid, exams and running your school.
Teaching freelance? The Self Assessment dates for your 2025 to 2026 return, including 5 October 2026 and 31 January 2027, plus the trading allowance, records, expenses and Making Tax Digital.
The app
The Teach.Dance app is free to download. It puts your courses, the blog and the community on your phone, so you can check a routine before class, catch up on Friday’s news on the train, or ask other teachers a question.
