  You can view and choose from the available themes at classic dashboard > Appearance > Themes. In your case the page is https://uiat.wordpress.com/wp-admin/themes.php. Free themes may be previewed or activated there. Paid themes may be previewed or purchased.

  Themes purchased or imported from elsewhere will not work on WordPress.com.

  musicdoc1 is correct. The only themes we can use on WordPress.com hosted blogs are licensed and adapted to run on our multiuser software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and in your dashboard at > Appearance > Themes

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs for security reasons and we cannot:
  upload any third party themes,
  create child themes,
  create our own themes,
  edit templates,
  create own own layouts,
  or use stylesheets from other themes.

  See:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/

  There is no upgrade you can purchase here at WordPress.COM that changes that reality.

  To install plugins or third party themes into a site then you have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install. WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, conduct ecommerce and edit the database.
