Online and private flamenco lessons

Students who live far from a flamenco teacher, busy adults who prefer flexible times, and dancers wanting focused coaching on technique or a specific piece.

Students pay per lesson or buy a block of lessons. You can add a monthly membership for recorded classes or sell routine packs.

• Strong flamenco technique and teaching ability
• Giving clear spoken feedback through a screen
• Basic video, audio and editing skills
• Marketing yourself on social media

• Public liability and professional indemnity insurance, check what covers online teaching
• A Working With Children Check (or your state's equivalent) if you teach under-18s, check your state requirements
• Music and video licensing when using recorded songs in lessons or posting clips, check with APRA AMCOS and the platform's rules
• Time zones and internet reliability if you take overseas students
• Checking council rules if you teach students at your home

Startup costs are typically around $300 to $2,000, depending on your video and audio setup, insurance and how much you spend on marketing. These are estimates, so price your own equipment and cover before committing.

Monthly revenue is typically around $400 to $2,500, depending on how many students you take, your lesson prices and whether you add small groups, recorded routines or in-person privates. Treat this as an estimate, not a guarantee.

Things to check include public liability and professional indemnity insurance (and whether it covers online teaching), a Working With Children Check if you teach under-18s, music and video licensing with APRA AMCOS, and council rules if you teach at home.
