What you get

Tools that respect a working teacher.

  • Get paid, in-app

    Stripe Connect handles payments end-to-end. We take a small platform fee, you keep the rest. Payouts on a recurring schedule.

  • Show up in search

    Verified instructors are surfaced in city search, dance-style filters, and the home feed for new dancers.

  • Inbox built for teaching

    Every booking has a thread. Discuss lesson plans, attach reference videos, send arrival details — all in one place.

Three levels of badge.
