Termly classes, and the show
A dance school bills termly fees, plus costumes, exams and show tickets. Each of those is a separate collection from the same families. Handle them from one place instead of four spreadsheets.
Classes, passes and memberships in one place.
2.5% plus 35p on standard UK cards, with the platform fee inside it.
They stay for years
Dance pupils often stay from four to eighteen. The school keeps whole families. Class registers, grade progress and show participation on one record make each term roll over rather than restart.
Unlimited pupil records.
Unlimited customer records on every plan, yours to export at any time.
Running a dance school
A dance school bills the same families for classes, uniform, exam entries, costumes and tickets. It keeps some of them from four years old to eighteen. The lifetime value is remarkable. The admin is five separate businesses sharing one register.
The dance school year
| Term | What fills the hall | What is being collected |
|---|---|---|
| Autumn | New starters, uniform fittings and the biggest intake | Class fees and uniform, plus the first mention of the show |
| Spring | Exam preparation and the best attendance of the year | Exam entries and costume deposits |
| Summer term | Rehearsals eating steadily into normal class time | Costume balances, ticket sales and programme adverts |
| Show week | The venue, the technical rehearsal and every family at once | Nothing, because everything should already be paid |
| Summer holidays | Workshops if you run them, an empty hall if you do not | Autumn fees, taken before anybody has time to reconsider |
A school that reaches show week still collecting money has turned the best event of its year into the worst fortnight of it.
The show is a separate business borrowing your name
Venue hire, a lighting technician, a programme and a set are all paid for weeks before a single ticket is sold. For two months the school is running a small theatre production on a dance school's cashflow.
Give it its own account. Tickets, programme adverts and a filmed recording should together cover the venue and where they do not you are quietly funding the show out of next term's class fees.
What has to be settled before costumes are ordered
- A measured size per pupil, taken this year rather than remembered from last
- A deposit up front, because a costume ordered for one child fits nobody else
- A clear line on whether it is bought or borrowed and what happens if it comes back stained
- A cut off date, after which a late family is buying at their own risk
- Which siblings are in which numbers, so one mother is not asked for four payments in one week
The register is the earliest warning you will get
A pupil who stops does not resign. She misses a week for a birthday, then a week for a cold, then it is half term and she has quietly gone, taking eleven years of fees with her.
Two missed weeks in a row is the moment for a friendly message. It works far more often than anybody expects. After a month it becomes a conversation about coming back, which is a much harder one to have.
Where a dance school loses money
- Family discounts applied from memory, differently, to different families
- A costume balance never collected because that parent was helping backstage
- A hall paid for by the hour and used by a class of four on a Thursday
- Exam fees collected after the entry has already been submitted and paid for
- One teacher covering the whole timetable, so a bout of flu closes the school
You have one customer per family, not one per pupil
Three sisters across six classes is one bank account, one phone number and one set of details worth keeping straight. Schools holding pupils separately send that mother four reminders in a week and then wonder why she is short with them about the costume money.
Photo consent, emergency contacts and any medical information belong on the pupil record. They are needed at exactly the moment nobody has time to go looking, which is the fifteen minutes before a show.
