Dance studio system for handling class scheduling & billing

About DanceBiz

DanceBiz is designed to help dance studios streamline class scheduling, billing, student registration, and administrative operations via a unified platform. The application offers a skill tracking module, which allows trainers to track the progress of students and generate reports.

It enables businesses to capture and store students’ information in a centralized repository, add or update customer profiles, and change the status of student accounts based on the validity of their membership. It offers a variety of features such as time-tracking, analytics, automated notifications, feedback management, and more. DanceBiz also allows administrators to enroll students in multiple classes, interact with customers via text messages and email, and set up daily, weekly or custom schedules.

DanceBiz supports integration with various third-party applications such as Zoom, Xero, QuickBooks, Stripe, IntegraPay, and more. It also lets employees organize events and concerts, record students’ attendance, and send newsletters, notices, promotional messages, or invoices to customers via email.

One stop shop for your CRM needs!

It's our one stop shop - so much so I actually have 4 accounts. This is for a business cleanse reason as each location requires a different set of information.
I'm setting up another slightly unrelated business too and this software would be perfect for that business as well.

Pros

The ease of use - it's really simple, even if you're not the most technical, it's certainly something for everyone and every business. From reporting, generating invoices and taking payments to keeping my customer database clean, this system does it all.

Cons

Hard to say really - I've not found any fault with it so far. It's improved on a regular basis and it's functionality improved a lot so if you ever find something you're not too happy with, within a few days, it's been updated.

DanceBiz has consolidated my administration and made the day-to-day running of my business so much smoother and less stressful. I have tried other software, and found danceBiz to be much easier to use and visually a lot clearer. The support team - [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] especially - have been AMAZING. I ahve been supported every step of the way and am so grateful for the team's help.

Pros

With a full-time teaching workload and a young family, administration was becoming overwhelming. DanceBiz has allowed me to streamline my administrative tasks and view everything in one place - it is so accessible and easy to use.

My company teaches Dance and Drama at 5 venues, and I found it difficult to find software that could adapt to my company's business model, where over 100 students are on a rotating timetable, taking different lessons at different times on different days each week. DanceBiz was the only company who said they could help me with this - their team have supported me brilliantly throughout my integration onto their system, and I am now invoicing with ease and my teachers have easy access to online registers. I cannot recommend DanceBiz highly enough!

Cons

Any problems I have encountered, DanceBiz have been able to help me with. The only things I would change if i could would be to have more choice over my invoice template - I would like more features so I could have a template more bespoke to my company.

Dancebiz meant less time spent doing admin jobs. After many years of use and other products coming on to the market it became less user friendly and confusing.

Pros

Dancebiz was great for keeping all records in one place. The customer service was always good and quick to respond.

Cons

It seemed clunky and everything was in different places and we couldn't see the information we wanted in one place. The integration with Go Cardless seemed to provide more work instead of less.
The back end user interface was quite dated and confusing.

It has been really easy to start with DanceBiz and the team are always very helpful. Usually I ring [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and she doesn't make me feel like an idiot when I make a mistake and don't know how to fix it.

Pros

I love that the information is all stored in one place: class info, contact info, invoices etc. I can easily email/phone/sms families either individually, as a class or entire school or year level.

Cons

Sometimes it feels a little clunky but it's very user friendly. I don't find the "help" feature that helpful so I need to contact you guys when I have an issue - however it gets dealt with very effectively.
I have used your old/vintage YouTube videos and I'd probably prefer these to be updated.

Jackrabbit - looked like it offered more BUT it looked really complicated PLUS I liked how you guys were in Australia. Not that I've ever been to your office, but I think as an Australian you understand our needs more - especially with the GST side of things.

We use it on a daily basis and it is useful for a dance school owner to keep all the student's details online. Invoicing works but its takes a while to get used to as it never seems to do exactly what we need. We get there though in the end.

Pros

We mainly use this software for registration of students & customers, to take registers and to create invoices. It integrates with Xero which was one of the main features we were looking for

Cons

its tricky to find the student if you don't know the customers name ( often different from the child's name) andto get to a particular class you need to click through quite a few options
