Your studio's teaching deserves a home
Figure names from ISTD or IDTA blur for new students. Hold and posture get corrected in class but rarely on the page. Competition rules across federations rarely make it into the studio handbook. 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.
Studios preparing competitive couples
You're preparing couples for ISTD or IDTA competitions. Content locked by grade keeps newer couples on bronze while pre-amateur see the open syllabus.
Built for teachers, not for IT
Your teacher opens the app, taps Edit, and writes the next figure breakdown in plain prose. The next class, couples read the lead and follow before they try it.
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.
ISTD grades, IDTA grades or your studio's progression
Content locked by level, in your studio's progression
Tag any article with a minimum level. Bronze sees foundations. Silver sees the syllabus figures. Gold and pre-amateur see open work. The same library, the right view per dancer.
A glossary in English and English
Latin and ballroom'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.
- Frame
- The shape held by the arms and upper body that connects two partners and carries the lead and follow between them..
- Cuban motion
- The characteristic hip movement of Latin dancing, created not by deliberately moving the hips..
- Cha cha cha
- A playful..
- Rumba
- The slowest of the Latin dances..
- Samba
- A lively Brazilian dance with a distinctive bounce, the "samba bounce", created by a gentle rise and fall in the knees and body..
- Jive
- A fast..
Competitions, exams, showcases
C3NTR isn't only the library. Schedule the next competition, post exam dates, and let couples see what's coming up. Announcements land on their Today tab and events sit on the calendar.
Start from our Latin Ballroom template
A working starter with 15 articles, 2 short videos, a 9-terms glossary across 5 tags (Getting Started, Foundations, Practice, Progression, Resources). Import in a few taps, then edit anything that doesn't fit your school. Every article, term and tag is yours from the moment you import.

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 ISTD, IDTA, WDC, WDSF?
C3NTR is style neutral. The library is yours to fill. ISTD, IDTA, WDC or another tradition. Write in your studio's voice.
Can my studio customise the latin and ballroom template?
Yes. Every article, figure 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.
