We offer three one-time license options: Extended ($300/track) for project lifecycle usage, Limited ($100/track) for defined runs and showings, and Student ($25/track) for educational projects. Each license covers one track for one project. Visit /licensing for the current rules and workflow.

Choose Limited for a defined run or screening window (for example, a single showcase, weekend run, or limited festival screening). Choose Extended for a long-running project with ongoing performances or distribution (for example, a tour or a film with ongoing releases).

The project lifecycle is the full lifespan of a single choreography, film, or release. It includes rehearsals, performances, and future showings tied to that same project. Using the same track for a new project requires a new license.

A limited run is a defined set of performances or showings within a specific window, such as a single showcase, a weekend series, or a limited festival screening period.

Student licenses are discounted one-time licenses for actively enrolled K-12, college, or university students. They are limited to educational projects such as department performances, film submissions, or ACDA applications. The rights match the Limited license for that project.

License credits are included with licensing subscriptions and are applied to Limited licenses first. If you have more tracks than credits, the remaining tracks are billed at the Limited rate. Extended and Student licenses are always one-time paid licenses.

No. Download credits unlock audio files for offline use. Any public performance, screening, competition, or release still requires a license for the project.

One-time purchases add tracks, albums, or collections to your library for streaming and downloads. Licenses grant project rights for a specific choreography, film, or release. If you are publicly using the music, you need a license even if you have purchased the audio.

You do not need a license for private rehearsals, internal classroom use, or private work-in-progress reviews. Dance filmmakers can submit to festivals before acceptance without licensing. A license is required before any public performance, screening, competition, or release.

A project is one creative work or release tied to a single production. Examples include a performance run of one choreography, a competition routine for one season, or a dance film release. If you reuse a track for a new choreography or release, you will need a new license.

Yes! Any licenses generated during your active subscription remain valid for the specific project they were created for, even after your subscription ends. Each license is tied to a single project - if you need to use the same track for a different project or showing, you'll need to generate a new license. The license remains valid forever for that specific project only.

Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Your subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing period, and you can continue generating licenses until that date.
