What it is
Live video classes and recorded routines taught from home to students anywhere, including people far from a local class. You can offer drop-in workouts, beginner courses and wedding prep sessions.
Your first three steps
- Set up a clear space at home with good lighting, a decent speaker and a stable internet connection
- Run a free or low-cost live class to test the format and collect feedback
- Post short clips on Instagram and TikTok and take bookings through a simple payment and booking tool
Who pays
Adults wanting a fun home workout, wedding guests learning a routine, and families overseas or in areas without local classes.
How it makes money
Monthly membership, paid courses or single class tickets. Private online lessons and wedding routine packages can add higher-priced income.
Skills that help
- Clear verbal teaching without relying on in-person correction
- Comfort on camera
- Basic video and sound setup

Watch out for
- Music licensing: playing or recording copyrighted music online can break platform rules and copyright, so check what you can use
- Insurance: check whether public liability cover includes online teaching and any injuries to students
- Tell students to warm up and dance within their ability, and include a health disclaimer
- Check home business permission with your landlord or mortgage lender if students visit
