Verification comes first — then the paperwork is on us.
Ask us anything- 1
Verify with your program administrator first

File the receipt with your program. And if the answer unexpectedly changes within 30 days of purchase, our 30-day money-back guarantee has you covered.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use Arkansas EFA funds for dance classes?
Often yes — as curriculum, not classes. YouDance is a structured online dance curriculum (educational software) with sequenced lessons, graded quizzes, and progress records, which is the category education funding programs typically treat as an eligible expense — distinct from recreational dance classes. Classification varies by program and by award, so verify with your program administrator before purchasing.
We’re part of a homeschool charter — can we use our charter funds?
Often, yes. Homeschool charters keep their own vendor lists, and most can order YouDance for you, reimburse it, or add us as a vendor when a family requests it. Ask your charter teacher (ES), and point your charter at [email protected] — we're happy to complete any charter's vendor paperwork.
Is YouDance an approved EFA vendor?
Not yet. Ask your program administrator whether YouDance qualifies for your award, and tell us you want it — vendor applications are driven by family demand.
What should I ask my program administrator?
Whether a structured online dance curriculum (educational software with lessons, graded quizzes, and progress records) qualifies under your award’s eligible-expense categories, and — if you’d pay out of pocket — whether reimbursement with an itemized receipt is allowed.
What does YouDance cost without program funds?
$39/month, $250/year, or a one-time lifetime option — every plan covers your whole family and carries our 30-day money-back guarantee. See the pricing page for details.
What exactly is YouDance?
A structured instructional dance curriculum: 22 structured courses and 215+ weeks of lessons across ballet, hip hop, contemporary, jazz, and clogging, with graded quizzes and progress records for every student, ages 5–17.
