Terms of sale and membership

Last updated: 15 October 2026.

These terms apply when you buy a course or membership from Teach.Dance. They sit alongside our Website terms of use, Privacy notice, Cookie policy and our course policies at teach.dance/policies/.

1. Who we are

Teach.Dance is a trading name of Teach Dance Ltd, registered in England and Wales, company number 15135896. Registered office: 10 Churchill Way, Nelson, BB9 6RT. Email: [email protected]. We are not registered for VAT, so no VAT is charged on our prices.

2. What we sell

  • Courses: online courses on our learning platform. Some include assessment by a tutor. Our courses are not regulated qualifications and are not on the Regulated Qualifications Framework.
  • Memberships: access to content for 12 months and, where stated, a licence to teach a programme.
  • Free courses, which may be provided with a partner organisation.
  • Partner courses, provided by the partner. Partner terms apply as well as these.

Each product page sets out what’s included, the price, the term, any entry requirements and whether a printed certificate is included. Please read it before you buy.

3. Who can buy

You must be 16 or over to create an account or join a course or our community. 16- and 17-year-olds have extra safeguards (see our Joining a course and Safeguarding policies).

  • If you’re 16 or 17: you can take free courses yourself. For a paid course or membership, a parent or guardian buys it for you and enters your details at checkout. They are then the customer under these terms.

4. Prices and payment

Prices are in pounds sterling and are shown on the product page and at checkout. Payment is taken at checkout, or by recurring payment for subscriptions. Discount codes must be applied at purchase.

5. Memberships

In these terms, “membership” means a membership plan, sometimes called a subscription on our site.

  • Term: memberships, including Mini Movers Dance, run for 12 months from the day you buy.
  • Paying: either monthly (12 monthly payments) or annually up front, usually at a discount.
  • Joining fee: some memberships have a one-off joining fee, paid with your first payment. If one applies, it’s shown on the product page and at checkout before you pay.
  • Total cost: the product page and checkout show the 12-month commitment and the total cost next to the price, before you pay. For monthly payment, the total cost is 12 × the monthly price plus any joining fee. For annual payment, it is the annual price plus any joining fee. Your confirmation email repeats the commitment, the total cost and the date the 12 months end.
  • No mid-term cancellation: after the 14-day period (section 6), you can’t cancel part-way through the 12 months. If you pay monthly, the remaining payments are still due. We don’t refund part of the term, except where the law gives you a remedy (section 8).
  • At the end of the 12 months, if you pay annually: your membership renews for another 12 months at the annual price, and we take the payment on the renewal date. We’ll email you a reminder 30 days before, with the price and how to cancel. To stop it renewing, cancel before the renewal date in Account > Subscriptions or by emailing [email protected].
  • At the end of the 12 months, if you pay monthly: your membership continues month by month at the monthly price. You can cancel at any time after the first 12 months by giving 1 month’s notice, in Account > Subscriptions or by emailing [email protected]. Your access continues, and the payments are due, until the notice period ends.
  • Price changes: prices don’t change during your 12 months. If the price for a new term will be different, we’ll tell you by email at least 30 days before.
  • How to contact us: use Account > Subscriptions, or email [email protected].

6. Your 14-day right to cancel

If you buy online, you normally have 14 days from the day you buy to cancel and get a refund (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). This applies to courses and memberships.

  • Starting straight away: at checkout you can tick a box to say you want access to start immediately and understand that you’ll lose your 14-day right once you start. If you tick it, then once you click Start course and access the content, you can’t cancel and there’s no refund. Until you do, the normal 14-day right applies.
  • Your order email confirms what you agreed at checkout.
  • Faulty content: if content is faulty or not as described, you still have your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (section 8).
  • How to cancel within the 14 days: email [email protected] with a clear statement, use Account > Subscriptions, or use the model form below. We refund within 14 days of your cancellation, to your original payment method.

Model cancellation form: “To Teach Dance Ltd, [email protected]: I hereby give notice that I cancel my contract for (name of product), ordered on (date). Name, address, date.”

7. What you’ll see at checkout and in your order email

  • At checkout (unticked until you tick it): “I want access to start straight away. I understand that once I click Start course and access the content, I lose my 14-day right to cancel and won’t get a refund.”

  • In your order email: “You asked for access to start straight away and confirmed that once you click Start course and access the content, you lose your 14-day right to cancel and won’t get a refund. Until then, you can still cancel within 14 days of purchase.” For memberships, the order email also shows the 12-month commitment, the total cost, whether you pay monthly or annually, the date the first 12 months end and what happens after that. It links to these terms.

8. Refunds after 14 days

After the 14 days, payments aren’t refundable except: where the law gives you a remedy (Consumer Rights Act 2015: content or services not as described, faulty, or not provided with reasonable care and skill); where we close a course (we refund the part you can’t complete; see If a course closes); or where our policies say so.

9. Your account and licence

Accounts are personal. Don’t share logins. You get a personal, non-transferable licence to use course materials for your own learning (and, for memberships that include it, to teach the programme while your subscription is active). You keep the rights in work you upload for assessment, and you give us a licence to store, assess and quality-assure it for those purposes only.

10. If we suspend or end your account

If you seriously breach these terms (for example by sharing content or logins), we’ll tell you why and give you a chance to put it right where that’s reasonable. If we end your account, we’ll refund any prepaid period you can no longer use, unless the law allows otherwise.

11. Certificates

Certificates are issued when you meet the published requirements (see Certificates, withdrawal and transfers). Some certificates are digital and are issued straight away when you pass. Each course page says whether a printed certificate is included. Certificates for our courses stay valid as a record of your training. Mini Movers Dance is different: its certificate, and your right to say you’re a Mini Movers Dance teacher, are valid only while your membership is active (see Schedule A). Where any other membership includes a licence to teach a programme, the certificate stays valid as a record of training, but the licence ends with the membership.

12. Our liability

Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law doesn’t allow us to limit, and your consumer rights aren’t affected. Otherwise, our total liability to you is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. We’re not liable for business losses where you use our content in your own teaching business.

13. Changes to these terms

We’ll give at least 30 days’ notice by email of material changes affecting a subscription. You can cancel before they apply.

14. Complaints

See our Complaints policy. We’re not a member of an alternative dispute resolution scheme. Free advice: Citizens Advice consumer helpline 0808 223 1133 (England and Wales); Advice Direct Scotland 0808 164 6000 (consumeradvice.scot); Consumerline 0300 123 6262 (Northern Ireland).

15. Law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring proceedings in your local courts, and the mandatory consumer laws there still protect you.

16. Course-specific schedules

The schedules below add to these terms for the courses they name. If a schedule and the rest of these terms conflict, the schedule applies for that course.

Schedule A: Mini Movers Dance

Mini Movers Dance is a Teach.Dance course.

  • Membership: a 12-month membership (sometimes called a subscription on our site), paid monthly (12 payments) or annually up front, on the same terms as section 5, including the 14-day right to cancel (section 6). A one-off joining fee may apply. If it does, it’s shown on the product page and at checkout before you pay, and it’s included in the total cost shown at checkout. After the first 12 months, annual memberships renew for another 12 months (with a reminder 30 days before), and monthly memberships continue month by month with 1 month’s notice to cancel.

  • Your licence: while your membership is active, you have a personal, non-transferable licence to use Mini Movers Dance content for your own teaching only, with children in the age range shown on the product page. You may not share, resell or distribute the content in any format.

  • School licence: a School membership covers up to the number of named teachers shown at purchase (currently up to 4). Each named teacher may use the content under the licence above. Each named teacher’s certificate is valid only while the School membership is active. The content may not be shared with anyone who isn’t a named teacher.

  • Ownership: all intellectual property rights in Mini Movers Dance materials stay with Teach Dance Ltd.

  • Name, logo and branding: you may use the Mini Movers Dance name, logo and content only while your membership is active, and only as any branding guidelines we give you allow. This right ends as soon as your membership ends or is terminated.

  • Certificates: a Mini Movers Dance certificate is issued when you meet the programme requirements. It is valid only while your membership is active. When your membership ends, the certificate is no longer valid, and you must stop saying you’re a Mini Movers Dance teacher or certified in Mini Movers Dance. The product page and checkout tell you this before you buy.

  • If you break these terms: if you misuse the programme or seriously breach these terms, we may suspend or end your membership as set out in section 10.

  • Results and your classes: we don’t promise particular results. You’re responsible for how you deliver the programme to your own students. Section 12 still applies.

  • Contact: Account > Subscriptions, or [email protected].

Schedule B: UKAdance Ballet, Preparatory and Primary music

These terms apply if you want to use the music supplied for the UKAdance Ballet Preparatory and Primary course.

  • Public use: for any public use of the music, you must complete a Public Performance Return (PPR) form: https://theatremusicshop.com/public-performance-return-form.html

  • Ownership: all intellectual property rights in the music stay with the copyright holder.

  • If you don’t comply: your licence to use the music may be withdrawn.
