An instructor requests cover
Class, style, level and studio go on the board in one step.
Cover a class without losing the week to texts.
Swap gives dance studios and performing-arts schools one place to cover a class with an instructor who actually teaches that style and level.
Free forever
Competition season, Tuesday evening, and your ballet instructor is on the road with the team. The director posts the intermediate class and the instructors who teach that syllabus can pick it up.
How Swap works here
Request, cover, approve.
The right instructors respond
Instructors who teach that style and level offer to take it — not the whole faculty.
The director approves
One approval books the cover and the studio schedule and families stay accurate.
Offering to help is never the same as being assigned. A studio director approves every class unless you turn on pre-approval yourself.
When studios use it
- Competition and convention weekends that pull faculty away
- Recital season when rehearsals stack on top of classes
- Syllabus classes only two or three instructors can teach
- Instructors auditioning or performing mid-season
- Summer intensives with visiting faculty
Who's eligible to cover
You set the rules. A request never reaches someone who shouldn't take it.
- Teaches that style — ballet, jazz, hip hop, contemporary, tap
- Cleared for that level or syllabus
- Assigned to that studio location
- Free in the class window
What changes for your studio
The right instructor, not just any instructor
Style and level are part of the request, so a class keeps its standard.
Competition season stops eating your evenings
One board instead of a director personally texting the faculty every week.
Families get a schedule that's true
The class page updates when the cover is approved.
A season-long record
Every cover and approval kept, which makes payroll and disputes simple.
Growth Partner
Swap is free for every instructor- and coach-led organization.
- Your organization runs core Swap at no cost, with no per-location or per-person fee.
- You can invite the eligible coaches and instructors you work with to claim a LedBy profile.
- Each person decides for themselves whether that profile is ever published.
- A claimed profile is one portable LedBy identity — not a new profile for every employer.
- Coaches build a following and can offer their own bookable services on LedBy.
Swap itself is free either way. The profile-invitation program is the optional part: instructor- and coach-led organizations can invite their people to claim a LedBy profile.
We never sell employment data, never publish anyone automatically, and never require a person to create a public profile.
Included free with Swap
Your instructors get a LedBy profile out of it.
Invite the instructors you work with to claim a free LedBy page. Publishing is their decision.
LedBy
What a instructor can offer once they claim their profile
- Classes with a live schedule
- Private Sessions and coaching
- Workshops and masterclasses
- Intensives and programs
One portable LedBy identity per person, wherever they work. Claiming is an invitation, and publishing is always their choice.
Dance & performing arts, answered
- Can we restrict a class to instructors who teach that syllabus?
- Yes. Style and level are eligibility rules, so a syllabus class is only offered to instructors cleared to teach it.
- Does Swap cost anything for a dance studio?
- Core Swap is free forever, for every studio. There is no per-instructor or per-location charge.
- We have two locations. Is that extra?
- No. Swap runs across all of your locations at no cost.
- Do instructors have to join LedBy?
- No. Swap works without it. Claiming a LedBy profile is an invitation each instructor can accept or ignore.
