We confirm that the Dance and Performance Instructors and Dance Schools licence will be revised to reflect all proposed changes. The revised licence is available to all eligible licensees for licensing periods commencing on or after 1 October 2024.
A summary of the changes are:

- An additional nine (9) Music in Dance Classes pricing tiers for businesses with more than 80 weekly classes;
- An additional three (3) pricing tiers for businesses hosting more than 1 Dance School Event per year;
- An increase of $20 in the entry fee threshold for Dance School Events from $40 up to $60;
- Improvements to the Video Recording Package to allow, in certain circumstances, a dance school to only obtain this coverage when not using a professional videographer; and
- No additional charge for use of music on a dance school’s website (Website Use), which will now be added to the Music in Dance Classes coverage;
