Playing the recording into your ear over the phone is a "performance"
in legal terms. In exactly the same way as playing the radio in your
restaurant, or the radio station playing CDs and broadcasting them
over the air are both legal "performances".

SOCAN would want the dance school to pay for use of the recordings
in the practice sessions and for the recital. There is even a specific
"tarriff" shown for dance schools, isn't there?
Here's hoping that "Krazy Kanuk" doesn't get his erstwhile client in
trouble! He surely won't get any business from somebody he is
blowing the whistle on.

That is precisely what the web page says is required.
If it were me, I would give up at this point as impractical
(i.e. wildly beyond the proposed budget).
