About CompuDance
CompuDance is a cloud-based studio management platform designed to help small businesses including dance, gymnastics centers, martial arts academies, music studios, preschools, and fitness studios streamline all administrative tasks. It allows teachers to use the in-built calendar to schedule classes, track attendance, and communicate with students about classes via SMS or email.
Key features of CompuDance include billing, accounting, email marketing, registration management, automated payments, scheduling, and online store integration. It provides mobile applications for parents and teachers to communicate with each other, enroll students, update account information and complete customizable enrollment questions. Businesses can use the costume management module to automatically calculate students' sizes for costumes by adding their measurements in the tool.
CompuDance's recital/event planner enables schools to create, manage and assign events to students, as well as teachers, preventing conflicts between routines. It comes with a web application programming interface (API), which allows users to connect the system with their business website.

Pros
The online application for virtually everything! Awesome customer support. Options for having multiple schools all in one data base.
Cons
I miss having the expense record options. It made tax season so much easier and help to keep up with vendors and monthly spending.

I have had an excellent experience with CompuDance. They are very quick to respond with any problems or questions.
Pros
Easy to navigate and learn new features
Cons
Just need to have a way of tracking each payment entered - maybe with a Full Check amount box and then disperse the check how needed. If any leftover it automatically becomes a credit. That would be amazing!

It does what we need, but the process of getting those needs met is challenging at best. In speaking with other studio owners it seems there are other programs that are much simpler and offer more than Compudance, and we do plan to look into them.
Pros
The customer service is excellent - we always get a quick response with answers to our questions. The Help area is usually helpful as well. It's nice that you offer mass texting, and we look forward to trying it, as we often have issues with our email provider. Aside from that... we spend a lot of time complaining about it.
Cons
Nothing is intuitive or easy to do/figure out. I notice lots of typos in various areas, which is just a reflection of the attention to detail. The fact that EVERYTHING needed to be recreated from scratch (versus imported) when you upgraded to the current version is unbelievable, and caused a ridiculous amount of work/frustration. It's also hard to believe this is a new version. It looks and feels very clunky and dated. And is there a mobile version? If not, there should be. Not that we'd attempt to use it given how challenging the desktop version is. We've noted a number of issues via customer services channels, but some things that would make a nice addition would be adding phone and/or email info to the billing areas as we often need to see balance detail and then get in touch with a family. We now have to go to "Student" to get their contact info, write it down, and go back to "Billing" to get the info we need to communicate. Was told we could open a separate tab and have two tabs of Compudance running, but this seems unnecessary. Reports are not easy or obvious. Creating groups is not easy. Honestly, nothing is easy - and it should be. Deposits are impossible to find and make logging payments very confusing - no matter which view you use (and why are there two to begin with?)

I have solved my need for monthly billing with the integration of payment processors to handle all ACH and Credit Card payments. The software also allows and keeps track of advanced payments on deposit. There Online Parent Portal gives each costumer (guardians) the ability to update all account information, make any and additional payments directly from their own Personal Portal, add individual dance classes each semester as needed. Numerous other option included for handling communication with all clients on an individual or group basis. I could not handle our business so efficiently without the Compu Dance software.
Pros
First and for most the costumer service team is amazing. Their software is complete with all tools needed to run our studio with precision for over 16 years. They are constantly adding addition features based on customer recommendations and feedback.
Cons
There is nothing we do not like about this software.

We just added the Parent & Teacher apps. We are hoping to launch them next week but have already been playing around with them and I think our parents will be SO SO happy!
Pros
They really listen to feedback and strive to give their customers what they are asking for. Made several changes over the last year+ that has vastly improved the efficiency of the program. Online help manual is very descriptive and useful but if you have to call/email in they respond quickly!
Cons
I didn't like the billing set up and no way to track refunds but they added quick billing links to the Student list and now track refunds. I found the software quite easy to use when using with their online help manual but have found it difficult to teach to new admins.
