Your studio's teaching deserves a home
Improvisation prompts live in the teacher's head. Technique variants, release, Graham, Cunningham, get blended without being named. Choreographic concepts and composition prompts rarely make it onto the page. C3NTR is a quiet place to write it all down once, in your studio's voice.
Who this is for
Studios with multiple teachers
Two or more teachers, several classes a week. C3NTR holds the shared standard so every class draws from the same library.
Schools preparing for professional training
You're sending dancers to vocational schools. Content locked by level keeps foundation students on basics while pre-pro dancers see the full vocabulary.
Built for teachers, not for IT
Your teacher opens the app, taps Edit, and writes the next technique correction in plain prose. The next class, dancers read it before warm-up.
Write directly in the app
Like a notepad. New articles are drafts until you publish, so nothing goes live by mistake.
Mobile-first authoring
Edit on the phone between classes or on the way home. The same library, the same edit screen.
A working library in under an hour
Import the starter template in a few taps. Edit anything that doesn't fit. Publish when ready.
Levels, foundation, intermediate, advanced, professional
Content locked by level, in your studio's progression
Tag any article with a minimum level. Foundation sees floor work and warm-up principles. Pre-professional sees composition and repertoire. The same library, the right view per dancer.
A glossary in English and English
Contemporary dance's language is part of the practice. C3NTR's glossary holds the terms in one place: the English, your studio's translation, and the article each term appears in.

- A foundational principle of modern and contemporary dance..
- Fall and recovery

Showings, sharings, summer intensives
C3NTR isn't only the library. Schedule the studio showing, post when a guest choreographer is teaching, and let dancers see what's ahead. Announcements land on their Today tab and events sit on the calendar.

Common questions
Can dancers only see their level's material?
Yes. Tag any article with a minimum level. Beginners see only what's appropriate for them. Teachers and senior students see everything.
Does it cover Graham, Cunningham, Release technique, Gaga?
C3NTR is style neutral. The library is yours to fill. Graham, Cunningham, Release technique or another tradition. Write in your studio's voice.
Can my studio customise the contemporary dance template?
Yes. Every article, phrase and term is editable. Add your style's vocabulary, your syllabus and your studio's standards. The template is a structure, not a script.
How long does it take to set up?
Most schools have a working library in under an hour. Import the starter template in a few taps, then edit anything that doesn't fit. Starting blank takes a little longer. Allow an hour or two to write your first ten articles. Students can use the app the day you publish.
Do I have to stop using my booking system?
No. C3NTR is a knowledge library for your curriculum, terminology and progressions. Booking, billing and scheduling stay with the tools you already use.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Seed is free forever for up to 30 students, with no credit card required. Move up to School (£39/mo) or Academy (£69/mo) when you outgrow it.
