Go-live checklist

What stands between your draft school and a public one, what each check needs, and how to confirm your school really is live.

For owners and managers

Go live in the sidebar lists what's left before dancers can find you. Work through it in any order. The full reference is Go live and payouts.

Must be done#

  • Your name, city and styles: at least one style ticked on the School page.
  • Where you teach: your main building has an address (Buildings and rooms).
  • Create your first class: at least one course or open class published.
  • What happens when somebody cancels: open Cancellations, check the windows, and confirm with These suit us.
  • Your fill-in rules (unless you answered no): review Fill-in rules and confirm.
  • Your catch-up rules (courses only, unless you answered no): review Catch-ups and confirm.
  • Your teachers: you've invited someone, or someone else is on your team, or choose It is just me.
  • Payouts: connect Stripe so dancers' money reaches your account. Only the owner can. Identity checks can take a day; you'll get an email when they're done.

Nice to have#

  • Course blocks, open classes, or both: confirm your answer with That is right.
  • What dancers read about you: your About text and What to wear, or That is enough for now.

Go live#

When nothing required is left, the owner chooses Go live: "You are live. Your join code works from now on."

Check you're live#

  • The Go live page says You are live and shows your join code, and the draft banner is gone.
  • Open your public page in a private browser window. Your classes are there.
  • Try your join code from a second account. It finds your school.
  • Book or enrol with a test account, then cancel it.

Going live doesn't start billing. Your first Dansly invoice comes 30 days after your first dancer pays; see Billing.

If you can't go live#
