If you’ve thought “I really should learn this AI stuff, but where do I even start?”
This course exists for that exact thought. Most AI courses are written by tech people for tech people. They use words like “orchestration”, “prompt engineering”, “hallucinations”. They assume you want to build an app or join an industry. They don’t help you write a parent newsletter, plan a class, or get a costume reminder out by Friday.
We made this course because dance teachers were asking us for a version that actually applied to running a dance school. Twelve modules, around two and a half hours, and you’ll come out the other side knowing how to use Claude as a genuinely useful part of your week.
What you’ll be able to do by the end
Specific, not vague. Here’s what changes between now and the final module.
✍
Write better, faster
Newsletters, parent emails, social posts, difficult-conversation replies, all in your school’s voice, in a fraction of the time.

Exclusive to this course
An interactive prompt builder, built specifically for dance teachers
Module 11 contains a tool you won’t find anywhere else. Fill in your school details once (saved on your device, so you only do it the first time), then for every new task, pick a category, drop in the specifics, and click generate.
Out comes a properly structured prompt for Claude. Copy it across, get a real answer in your school’s voice. Use it as your training wheels for as long as you need them.
Who this course is for (and who it isn’t)
Two columns. Don’t waste your money if you’re in the right-hand column.
✓
This is for you if…
You run a dance school, teach in one, or are about to. You’re curious about AI but feel a bit behind. You’re time-poor and want practical, not theoretical. You don’t have a tech background and don’t want one.
✗
This isn’t for you if…
You’re a developer wanting to build apps on top of Claude. You’re after a deep-dive into prompt engineering theory. You want a certificate to put on LinkedIn. You don’t run, work in, or care about dance education.
Quick answers to the questions everyone asks
If yours isn’t here, drop us a line before you buy. We’d rather you knew up front.
💷
Do I need a paid Claude plan?
No to start. The free plan is enough to follow the first half of the course. By Module 6 or 7 you’ll probably want to upgrade to Pro (about £15-20/month) to unlock Projects, Skills, and Connectors. We’re clear about which features need which plan throughout.
⏱
How long does it actually take?
If you sit and watch it straight through, around 2.5 hours. Most people prefer to work through one module at a time over a couple of weeks, trying things in Claude between modules. That’s the better way to do it.
💻
Will this work if I’m not techy?
Yes. The course assumes you’ve used email and Google or Word. Nothing else. The exercises are all about writing and admin, not coding or settings.
♾
Do I get lifetime access?
Yes. Once you’ve enrolled, the modules are yours forever, including the interactive prompt builder which stays available whenever you log in.
🤖
What if Claude changes after I buy?
We update modules when major features change. The core ideas (good prompting, projects, your own voice) don’t change. The specific buttons and prices might.
💬
Got a question or stuck on something?
Pop it in our Teach.Dance members community. It’s where dance teachers from across the country talk shop, share what’s working with AI, swap prompts, and help each other out. Joining details inside the course.
