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/.
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.
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.
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).
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.
In these terms, “membership” means a membership plan, sometimes called a subscription on our site.
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.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We’ll give at least 30 days’ notice by email of material changes affecting a subscription. You can cancel before they apply.
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).
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.
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.
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].
These terms apply if you want to use the music supplied for the UKAdance Ballet Preparatory and Primary course.
Buying the music: you must buy and download the tracks from the Theatre Music Shop (theatremusicshop.com).
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.

In short
Teach.Dance is a trading name of Teach Dance Ltd, registered in England and Wales (company number 15135896). Registered office: 10 Churchill Way, Nelson, England, BB9 6RT. We are the data controller for the personal data described here.

We never sell your data. Social media links (Facebook and Instagram) don’t send data unless you click them.
We use AI assistants for admin tasks only, such as help with our website and day-to-day running of the business. They are never given learner films, and never given data about anyone under 18. They work on our instructions under business terms, and we choose terms that don’t allow our data to be used to train their models. We don’t use AI to make decisions about you or to mark your work.
Some providers are outside the UK. When data leaves the UK, it’s protected in one of three ways:
Learner films are stored in Frankfurt (EEA), with a copy in London. Our website is hosted in Dublin, Ireland, which has UK adequacy. Where a provider is a controller (for example YouTube, or the app stores), its own privacy policy and transfer terms apply.

You can ask for a copy of your data, a correction, a deletion, a restriction, or a copy to move elsewhere. You can object to how we use it (including to marketing, at any time), and withdraw consent at any time. Some records must be kept (section 7). Email [email protected] and we’ll reply within one month. We don’t make decisions about you by automated means that have legal or similarly significant effects. Quizzes are marked automatically, but certificates are only issued after a person has assessed and quality-assured your work.
If you’re unhappy with our answer, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office: ico.org.uk, 0303 123 1113 (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm).
We use essential cookies to run the site, for example to keep you logged in, remember your basket and protect the site (Cloudflare’s __cf_bm). These don’t need consent. We also treat Google reCAPTCHA v3 on the login and registration pages as strictly necessary, because it protects your account from bots; it runs only on those pages. Other cookies run only if you agree in our cookie banner (Complianz):
Fonts: our website fonts (Fraunces and Inter) are hosted on our own site, so nothing is sent to Google.
Change your choice at any time through “Cookie settings” in the footer. Full details are in our Cookie policy.
This part is for you if you’re 16 or 17 and using any of our courses or our community. We follow the ICO’s Children’s Code (Age appropriate design code).
Our learners are aged 16 and over. Films you upload may show children you teach. You must have written consent from a parent or carer and from the young person before filming. Only your assessor and our quality assurers see the films; they’re held by Bunny Stream (BunnyWay d.o.o., Slovenia), stored in Frankfurt, Germany, with a copy in London, never used in marketing, and deleted on schedule. A parent or young person can ask us to delete footage by emailing [email protected].
We use encryption, access controls and expiring private links, and we limit who can see your data. If a breach is likely to put your rights at risk, we report it to the ICO within 72 hours of becoming aware of it, and we tell you without undue delay where the risk to you is high.
We’ll post changes here and email you about significant ones. This notice informs you; it isn’t a contract you agree to.
