### "Love Love Love Dancebiz"

March 28, 2021

5.0

It is freeing up my time. I have recently integrated Xero, Go Cardless and Stripe to make my studio cashless. I have everyones details with a touch of a button. I wouldn't go anywhere else

Pros

I absolutely love how much time it has saved me with its automated features and no more carrying around registration forms! I love also that it is constantly evolving and new features being added and the support you receive.

Cons

Sometimes the software has bugs which mean it crashes and it is difficult to get hold of someone as you need to send an email and wait for a call back.

### "So perfect for studio owners"

April 27, 2018

5.0

Pros

The best for managins students and tuition. I love that I can put monthly fees on an account for tuition.

Cons

This should have a better way to apply late fees to accounts. I would appreciate a button to quickly add small expenses like bottles of water.

### "We love DanceBiz"

October 14, 2019

5.0

We love what it does, they are always updating it and it actually is really easy to use when you know what it is capable of.

Pros

What i love most about dance biz is the personal help you get from the company. Their customer support is outstanding.

Cons

At first i wasn't using the software to its potential. There was so much i didn't know it could do. Once i called dance biz they did an audit on what i was and wasn't using and helped me through it.

Reason for choosing DanceBiz

It looked the easiest to use and not as overwhelming.

### "Great time saver!"

July 16, 2019

5.0

Pros

DanceBiz is easy to use, and it makes daily admin tasks much easier and quicker E.g. sending out bulk emails to customers where you can select them in bulk rather than individually selecting them, making it a much quicker process. It's also great for enrolling new students into classes really quickly, and sending out bulk invoices at the stat of a new term, again saving lots of time.

Cons

It occasionally crashes on me but this could be my computer rather than dancebiz.

### "Game Changer !"

July 16, 2019

5.0

The staff are excellent and help is never far away. The constant updates and options it offers is fantastic, now if could deal with parents too that would be the icing on the cake !!!

Pros

It's so easy to use, and has made my school admin so much easier. I know there is probably more it can do that I haven't ventured into yet, but it does what I need it to.

Cons

I wish there was a way of working out what each teacher's revenue for the classes they teach, as it would make my tax calculations a lot easier !

### "Dance class tracker"

March 15, 2019

4.0

The user interface was easy to use and I valued the ability to do a register on my phone and then forget about it Nd get on with class. It made incoicing easy. I never had any real technical issues. The one problem I did have (with syncing) was handled efficiently and swiftly. The only readon I no longer use DanceBiz purely because i stopped running private classes.

Pros

I liked the fact that I could keep all class data together in the database and extract statistics with ease.

Cons

As I am a sole trader I found it quite expensive to run. I think i would also prefer an annual fee (i hate the hassle of monthly payments - even with direct debit)

### "Large Performing Arts School"

July 16, 2019

4.0

We experience excellent customer service from Rep and the team. If we have a question or query they are always happy to help and are constantly working to improve the software and implement changes that we suggest to help efficiency. The software has saved us a fortune in man hours!

Pros

We went from almost entirely paperwork to online and the process has made it far easier for multiple office staff to be able to work at the same time and see updated information.

Cons

Sometimes it can freeze for a little while.

### "This Software Will Change Your Life!"

February 27, 2019

5.0

This software has completely changed our lives for the better! It has saved us hours and hours of admin time. The app has also saved so much time as each teacher can do their attendance through the app and it comes right to us. Also, the customer service is outstanding! Whenever we have had an issue or needed assistance, they have been right there for us.

Pros

Seamless integration Easy invoicing Outstanding customer service

Cons

Occasional bug issues BUT they are corrected as soon as they are reported

### "Makes Life Easier"

May 24, 2019

4.0

Pros

It has made a considerable difference to the running of our Dance School. The customer support is 5 star, always very helpful and prompt to reply.

Cons

One needs to spend time to see how many different ways the software can be used in relation to the pricing structure, this entails a lot of time spent with a customer service representative to learn the details prior to launching.

### "Dancebiz review"

September 17, 2019

4.0

We use Dancebiz to manage our customer database, our timetable of classes, attendance history and staff hours as well. It is a good tool to manage our business

Pros

Integration with other software packages like Xero. The customer support team are excellent.

Cons

Still requires a large amount of manual data entry. Opportunity for further automation. Software still needs better and more flexible reporting.

### "Dancebiz makes life easier"

June 2, 2019

4.0

The sync to Xero application is very difficult. I work at two schools, and both are having huge difficulties with this aspect of Dancebiz. The administrative side of student records, and concert timetabling are excellent.

Pros

Ease of use in most cases. All of the staff can use the functions they need, often with no instruction.

Cons

Some of the online applications are difficult to comprehend and implement.

### "Dancebiz review"

May 23, 2019

4.0

It saves time when sending emails and invoices so that is great

Pros

I like the event planning aspects and how it shows how your business is tracking

Cons

I find its a bit back and forwards when you need to do things and being unable to amend invoices once payments have been made when connected to xero is a bit frustrating

### "DanceBiz Review "

January 24, 2019

5.0

Overall my experience with DanceBiz has been great. Their customer service is excellent and it helps me keep everything organised.

Pros

I love that fact that everything is in one place. It's so easy having all my registers, invoicing and student information all in one place. The new GoCardless feature is fantastic.

Cons

Only having the option to use 1 email address. it would benefit my business to be able to send invoices from one email address and send information emails using another.

### "PERFECT DATABASE FOR OUR CLASSES"

January 26, 2019

5.0

Dancebiz has provided us with 15 years of service. Through expansion, we now have 4 different accounts with them and couldn't run our businesses without them. Their support team are always on hand and we feel confident knowing that our clients details are safely in their hands.

Pros

All the different features and functions, especially creating and sending invoices at a touch of a button!

Cons

No real cons. There are a lot of updates but that's a positive really as it means the software just keeps improving.

Pros

Reduces admin time considerably and it's being able to contact class members quickly and efficiently via text or email.

Good.

Pros

I find it very easy to navigate and to learn my way around the software.
