Last updated: May 2026
1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
By accessing or using DanceBreak.app, including during the Beta Club period, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions in full. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must not use the app. We reserve the right to update these terms at any time. Continued use of the app after any changes are posted means you accept the updated terms. Where changes are material, we will notify you by email with a minimum of 14 days notice. It is your responsibility to read and understand these terms before using the platform. Ignorance of these terms does not exempt you from their application.
2. HEALTH & FITNESS DISCLAIMER
Please read this carefully before participating in any dance activity on DanceBreak.app.
DanceBreak.app provides dance instruction and movement content for general wellness and productivity purposes only. It is not a medical service, a physiotherapy programme, or a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
It is entirely and solely your responsibility to determine whether physical activity is safe and appropriate for you before using this platform.
Before starting any physical activity programme through DanceBreak.app, you must:
Consult your doctor or a qualified healthcare professional, particularly if you have any existing medical conditions, injuries, or physical limitations
Seek medical clearance if you are pregnant, postpartum, elderly, or have not exercised regularly
Stop immediately and seek medical advice if you experience pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, chest discomfort, or any other unusual symptoms during or after any dance session
By proceeding to use DanceBreak.app, you confirm that you have either obtained appropriate medical clearance or have independently determined that you are fit to participate in light to moderate physical activity. DanceBreak.app accepts no responsibility whatsoever for any consequence arising from your failure to seek medical advice before participating.
3. ABOUT OUR DANCE INSTRUCTION - SIMPLIFIED SEQUENCES & CULTURAL RESPECT
Please read this section carefully as it explains the nature and intent of the dance content on DanceBreak.app.
Our Approach to Teaching
The dance sequences taught on DanceBreak.app are intentionally simplified adaptations of their original traditional, social, or performance forms. They have been specifically designed to:
Be performed in small spaces such as a home office, living room, or hotel room
Be accessible to complete beginners with no prior dance experience
Be completed within a 5-minute break during a working day
Introduce the essential feeling, rhythm, and character of each style without requiring a partner, specialist footwear, or a studio environment
These sequences are entry points - not full representations of their art form. It is your responsibility to understand this distinction before participating.
Cultural Respect & Intention
DanceBreak.app is built on a deep respect for dance as a living cultural tradition. We want to be clear and transparent about our intentions:
We are not seeking to modify, dilute, replace, or misrepresent any dance tradition.
Every style featured in DanceBreak.app - from Salsa to Haka, from Bharatanatyam to Dabke - belongs to a living culture with its own history, meaning, community, and standards of practice. We honour that completely.
Our simplified sequences exist solely to:
Give people who would otherwise never encounter these dance forms a first, accessible experience
Build basic body awareness, musicality, and rhythmic sensitivity that makes further learning easier
Spark curiosity and respect for dance traditions from around the world
Encourage users to seek out qualified teachers and authentic instruction when they are ready to go deeper
We believe that a person who has moved their body to the rhythm of Afrobeats or felt the grounded power of a Haka - even in a simplified 5-minute version - is more likely to seek out real instruction, more likely to approach it with curiosity and respect, and better prepared when they do.
About the Instructor
The dance sequences on DanceBreak.app are taught by Andrea, The Dancing Economist, who brings 38 years of dance experience across multiple disciplines and cultures.
Andrea's approach to teaching these simplified sequences is guided by:
A deep commitment to staying as true to the original tradition as possible within the constraints of a 5-minute, beginner-accessible format
Decades of study, performance, and teaching across many of the styles featured
An understanding that simplification is a pedagogical tool - not a cultural statement
Ongoing respect for the communities, teachers, and lineages that have kept these traditions alive
Every sequence has been thoughtfully constructed to carry the essential spirit, rhythm, and character of the original - even in its most accessible form.
Going Deeper - The Right Way
If a dance style resonates with you during your breaks, we actively encourage you to seek out traditional, qualified instruction.
The Find a Class section of DanceBreak.app exists precisely for this reason. Every teacher and school listed in our directory has been personally vetted and is committed to authentic, quality instruction. By the time you walk into your first real class, you will already have:
A foundation of basic body awareness and spatial confidence
An understanding of the rhythm and musical character of the style
Familiarity with some of the core movements and vocabulary
A genuine curiosity and respect for what you are about to learn
You will not be starting from zero. You will be starting from a place of awareness - and that makes all the difference.
A Note to Dance Communities & Traditionalists
If you are a practitioner, teacher, or guardian of any of the dance traditions featured on DanceBreak.app, we welcome your feedback, your guidance, and your involvement. Our goal is to send people to you - better prepared, more curious, and already in love with what you teach.
If you believe any sequence misrepresents your tradition in any way, or if you would like to be listed as a trusted teacher in our directory, please contact us at:
📧 andrea@dancingeconomist.com
We are always listening.

We share limited data only with the following trusted service providers, strictly for the purposes of operating the platform:
5.1 Stripe - Payment Processing
We use Stripe to process subscription payments. When you subscribe, you enter your payment details directly into Stripe's secure interface. Your card details are never seen, stored, or transmitted through DanceBreak.app at any point.

We have selected Base44 as a trusted development partner, but their data practices are governed by their own privacy policy, which we encourage you to read.
During the beta period, Base44 may have access to app usage data in the course of providing infrastructure services. This is limited to technical data necessary for platform operation.

We use a third-party email service provider to send transactional emails including account confirmations, subscription notifications, and beta feedback requests. We share only your email address with this provider, solely for the purpose of sending you these communications. We do not use your email address for any marketing through this provider without your explicit prior consent.
5.4 Spotify
If you choose to enter a Spotify playlist URL into DanceBreak.app, the URL is used only to display the Spotify embed player within the app. We do not connect to your Spotify account, access your listening data, or receive any information from Spotify about you. Your interaction with the Spotify embed is governed by Spotify's own privacy policy.

6. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
DanceBreak.app is operated from Malaysia. If you are accessing the platform from the European Union, United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with data transfer restrictions, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in Malaysia.
We ensure that any such transfer is protected by appropriate safeguards:
-

-
UK to Malaysia transfers: Made on the basis of International Data Transfer Agreements (IDTAs) where applicable

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we use commercially reasonable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

COOKIE POLICY
COOKIE POLICY - DANCEBREAK.APP
Last updated: May 2026
1. INTRODUCTION
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, how DanceBreak.app uses them, why we use them, and what choices you have in relation to them.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions, both of which are available at dancebreak.app.
DanceBreak.app is operated by:
Andrea, The Dancing Economist 📧 andrea@dancingeconomist.com 🌐 dancebreak.app
If you have any questions about how we use cookies or similar technologies, contact us at andrea@dancingeconomist.com at any time.
2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device - your computer, tablet, or smartphone - when you visit a website or use a web application. They are widely used to make websites and apps work properly, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the owners of the site about how it is being used.
Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or malware. They cannot access other information stored on your device beyond what was placed there by the cookie itself.
Cookies can be:
-
Session cookies - temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your visit and are deleted automatically when you close your browser
-
Persistent cookies - cookies that remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually
-
First-party cookies - cookies set directly by DanceBreak.app
-
Third-party cookies - cookies set by external services we use, such as Stripe or Spotify
3. WHAT IS LOCAL STORAGE?
In addition to cookies, DanceBreak.app uses a technology called browser local storage. Local storage works similarly to cookies in that it stores small amounts of data on your device, but it differs in the following ways:
-
Local storage data does not expire automatically - it remains until you clear your browser data or it is cleared by the app
-
Local storage data is not transmitted to any server with every request - it stays on your device
-
Local storage can hold more data than a typical cookie
-
Local storage data cannot be accessed by any website other than the one that created it
At DanceBreak.app, we use local storage specifically to store your dance learning progress and subscription status. This data never leaves your device and is never transmitted to our servers or any third party.
4. HOW DANCEBREAK.APP USES COOKIES & LOCAL STORAGE
We use cookies and local storage for the following specific purposes. We have organised them by category so you can understand exactly what each one does.
4.1 Strictly Necessary - Local Storage
These are not cookies in the traditional sense but are essential to the functioning of the app. Without them, the app cannot work as intended. Because they are stored locally on your device only and are not used for tracking or profiling, they do not require your consent under most privacy regulations.
dancebreak_subscribed
DetailInformation
TypeBrowser localStorage
PurposeRemembers that you are a verified subscriber so you do not have to re-enter your access code every time you open the app
Data storedA simple true/false value - nothing personal
Where it is storedYour device only - never transmitted to our servers
DurationUntil you clear your browser's local storage or uninstall the app
Third party accessNone
dancebreak_learned
DetailInformation
TypeBrowser localStorage
PurposeTracks which of the 40 dance styles you have completed so the app can always recommend a style you have not yet learned
Data storedA list of style ID numbers corresponding to completed dances
Where it is storedYour device only - never transmitted to our servers
DurationUntil you clear your browser's local storage or the app resets it after all 40 styles are completed
Third party accessNone
4.2 Strictly Necessary - Functional Cookies
These cookies are essential for the app to function and for your session to be maintained securely. They cannot be switched off without preventing the app from working. They do not store any personally identifiable information.
Session cookie
DetailInformation
TypeFirst-party session cookie
PurposeMaintains your active session while you are using the app, ensuring requests are correctly processed
Data storedA temporary session identifier - no personal data
DurationDeleted automatically when you close your browser
Third party accessNone
4.3 Third-Party Necessary Cookies - Stripe
When you make a payment or when Stripe payment functionality is active on the platform, Stripe sets its own cookies on your device for the purposes of fraud prevention, security, and payment processing. These are set directly by Stripe and are governed by Stripe's own Cookie Policy.
Stripe cookies (examples)
CookiePurpose
__stripe_midFraud prevention and security - identifies your device across sessions
__stripe_sidFraud prevention and security - identifies your session
mStripe machine identifier used to prevent fraudulent transactions
These cookies are necessary for secure payment processing. They cannot be disabled without preventing payments from being made. They are set and controlled entirely by Stripe.
Stripe's Cookie Policy: stripe.com/cookies-policy Stripe's Privacy Policy: stripe.com/privacy
4.4 Third-Party Functional Cookies - Spotify
If you enter a Spotify playlist URL into DanceBreak.app, we display a Spotify embedded player within the app so you can listen to your music during dance breaks. When this embed is active, Spotify may set its own cookies on your device.
These cookies are set and controlled entirely by Spotify and are governed by their own Cookie Policy. We have no control over what Spotify sets or how long it persists.
Common Spotify embed cookies may be used for:
-
Remembering your Spotify login status so the player loads correctly
-
Tracking plays for artist and rights holder reporting purposes
-
Maintaining playback session state
The Spotify embed is only active if you have voluntarily entered a Spotify playlist URL. If you do not use the Spotify integration, no Spotify cookies will be set.
Spotify's Cookie Policy: spotify.com/privacy Spotify's Privacy Policy: spotify.com/privacy
4.5 Third-Party Cookies - Base44 (Beta Period Only)
During the beta period, DanceBreak.app is built on and hosted through Base44, an AI-powered app development platform. As part of platform operation, Base44 may set technical cookies or use similar technologies to support app performance, error tracking, and infrastructure management.
These are technical and operational in nature and are governed by Base44's own privacy and cookie policies.
Base44's Privacy Policy: base44.com/privacy
Once DanceBreak.app moves out of beta and onto its own infrastructure, Base44 cookies will no longer be present.
4.6 Analytics Cookies (If Used)
At the time of writing, DanceBreak.app does not use third-party analytics cookies such as Google Analytics. If we introduce analytics cookies in the future, we will:
-
Update this Cookie Policy before doing so
-
Notify existing users by email
-
Request your consent before setting any non-essential analytics cookies
-
Provide a clear mechanism for you to opt out
If and when analytics are introduced, they will be anonymised, aggregated, and used only to understand how the app is being used at a population level - never to identify or profile individual users.
4.7 Marketing & Advertising Cookies
DanceBreak.app does not use marketing or advertising cookies. We do not run retargeting campaigns, interest-based advertising, or any form of behavioural tracking. We do not partner with advertising networks. We do not place tracking pixels on our platform.
This is an absolute commitment. If this ever changes, you will be notified and your explicit consent will be sought before any marketing cookie is placed on your device.

6. YOUR CHOICES & HOW TO CONTROL COOKIES
6.1 Browser Settings
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
-
View what cookies are stored on your device
-
Delete individual cookies or all cookies
-
Block cookies from specific websites
-
Block all third-party cookies
-
Set your browser to alert you before accepting cookies
Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of DanceBreak.app. In particular:
-
Blocking session cookies may prevent you from using the app at all
-
Clearing local storage will reset your dance learning progress and subscription memory on that device, meaning you will need to re-enter your access code
How to manage cookies in major browsers:
-
Google Chrome: Settings - Privacy and Security - Cookies and other site data
-
Mozilla Firefox: Settings - Privacy & Security - Cookies and Site Data
-
Safari: Preferences - Privacy - Manage Website Data
-
Microsoft Edge: Settings - Cookies and site permissions - Cookies and site data
-
Opera: Settings - Advanced - Privacy & Security - Cookies
For other browsers, refer to your browser's help documentation.
6.2 Managing Local Storage
To clear DanceBreak.app's local storage data specifically:
-
Google Chrome: Developer Tools (F12) - Application - Local Storage - dancebreak.app - select and delete
-
Mozilla Firefox: Developer Tools (F12) - Storage - Local Storage - dancebreak.app - select and delete
-
Safari: Developer Tools - Storage - Local Storage
-
All browsers: Clearing all browser data (History - Clear browsing data - Cached images and files + Cookies and other site data) will also clear local storage
Please note that clearing local storage will:
-
Reset your dance style progress to zero
-
Remove your subscription status from that device, meaning you will need to re-enter your access code the next time you open the app
Your subscription itself is not affected - only the local record of it on that device.
6.3 Opting Out of Third-Party Cookies
Stripe: Stripe's cookies are necessary for payment processing and cannot be opted out of while making payments. If you wish to avoid Stripe cookies entirely, you cannot make a subscription payment through the platform.
Spotify: Spotify cookies are only set if you use the Spotify playlist integration. If you prefer not to have Spotify cookies set, simply do not enter a Spotify URL into the app. The rest of DanceBreak.app will work fully without the Spotify integration.
Base44: Base44 technical cookies are present during the beta period as a necessary part of platform operation. They will no longer be present once the app moves off the Base44 infrastructure post-beta.
6.4 Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that you not be tracked. At present there is no universally agreed standard for responding to DNT signals. DanceBreak.app does not currently change its behaviour in response to DNT signals, but we note that we do not engage in tracking for advertising or profiling purposes regardless.
7. CONSENT
What Requires Consent
Under applicable privacy law, including the GDPR and UK GDPR, cookies and similar technologies that are not strictly necessary for the operation of the service require your consent before being placed on your device.
