Hello,
On the outset, I'm sorry to hear about your troubles and I sincerely hope that things get better.
Moving onto the issue at hand, the yearly appreciation of rent is something that's inevitable. Most landlords will protect their interests by increasing the yearly rental amount, factoring in the increasing property rates and standard of living. If you have a rental agreement or contract which specifies certain basic terms and conditions which includes but is not limited to; The rent amount, increase or appreciation in rent, etc, then please go through the aforementioned contract and ascertain as to whether or not they've specified that they (the landlords),have a right to increase your rent and see their frequency. If there isn't an agreement in place, then chances or likelyhood of arbitrary increase is quite high and there is little you can do. Try to speak to them and get them to sign a rental agreement which caps your rent for the rest of the year, or for a period of 11 months, whichever is longer, so that you're only going to pay a fixed sum till then.
If they (the landlords) refuse to enter into an agreement for use of space, which has defined terms and conditions, then I'd suggest that you find an alternate venue for conducting your dance classes and enter into an agreement which would last for a year or so, where all your obligations and their obligations are listed out clearly, with respect to your rent amount, the increase in rent amount, if any, and finally under what circumstances you may have to vacate the venue.

It would depend on the agreement that you have entered with the landlord. If you have agreed for the increase for every three months, then you are bound to pay the same. Otherwise, you can resist for the same.
