WHO WE WORK WITH
Websites, apps & automation for dance studios
Nabee Studio builds custom websites, platforms, and automation for dance studios — from $4,500 one-time or $499/mo for 24 months with maintenance and hosting included. One partner replaces the stack of vendors, template subscriptions, and manual work, so working with us saves money, time, or both.
A dance studio's year runs on a rhythm: fall registration, ongoing classes across many levels and styles, costume orders, and a spring recital that consumes everything. Most studios manage this through a registration platform, a wall of paper forms, and a barrage of parent emails about schedules, tuition, costumes, and recital tickets.
The digital reality is that a parent enrolling a child is comparing studios on class offerings, teacher quality, and how organized you seem — and once enrolled, they judge you all year on communication. A site built around class registration, the recital season, and clear parent communication turns a chaotic annual cycle into something manageable.
Where dance studios lose time and money online
Registration season is chaos
Fall enrollment means placing students in the right level and style, collecting tuition and registration fees, and juggling waitlists for popular classes. Done on paper and by phone, it overwhelms staff and frustrates parents who can't easily see what's available.
Recital season buries the office in logistics
Costumes, fittings, ticket sales, dress rehearsal schedules, and volunteer coordination all hit at once. Costume orders and sizing collected on paper, tickets sold at the door, and schedules emailed repeatedly create a springtime crush every year.
Parent communication is a firehose
Schedule changes, tuition reminders, closure notices, dress-code questions, and event details flood email and get missed. Parents ask the same questions repeatedly because information lives in scattered emails and flyers, not one clear place.
Tuition and multi-child billing is fiddly
Monthly tuition, sibling discounts, class-based pricing, and registration fees make billing complex. Manual invoicing and chasing late payments consume office time and create awkward parent conversations.
What manual work does a custom build remove?
The typical dance studio runs on manual touchpoints like these:
- Placing students in levels/styles and managing waitlists by hand
- Collecting registration and tuition payments manually
- Taking costume orders and sizing on paper each season
- Selling recital tickets at the door or by check
- Emailing schedule changes, closures, and reminders repeatedly
- Invoicing tuition with sibling discounts and chasing late payments
Each of those is hours a week that a custom build turns into software:
- Online class registration — browsable classes by age/level/style with online registration, tuition and fee collection, and automatic waitlists — turning enrollment chaos into a self-service flow.
- Recital & costume management — costume orders and sizing collected online, recital ticket sales, and dress-rehearsal schedules published centrally, taming the spring crush.
- Parent communication hub — schedule changes, closures, and event details pushed to parents automatically and available in one place, ending the repeat-question firehose.
- Tuition billing & discounts — recurring tuition with sibling discounts and automated late-payment reminders, replacing manual invoicing and awkward collection calls.
Integrations that matter for dance studios
Dance/class registration (DanceStudio-Pro, Jackrabbit, Akada) · Payments & recurring tuition billing · Costume ordering / sizing · Ticketing for recitals · Email/SMS parent communication · Calendar & schedule publishing — built in, not bolted on with extra subscriptions.
What does it cost?
One scoping pass, one fixed number — no hourly billing. Class rosters and tuition live in dance-registration software; the win is a site that streamlines registration, recital season, and parent communication connected to it — not a separate platform.
- Website — from $4,500 one-time (standard from $7,500), or $499/mo for 24 months with the Maintenance Plan and hosting included.
The monthly plan totals somewhat more than paying up front — that's the honest trade for spreading the cost and having us operate everything for two years. Details in the payment plan guide and on the pricing page.
