Dance Teacher Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for class management and efficiency" January 25, 2026 5.0 It has been a great experience. It is easy to use and makes my classes start off quickly and seamlessly. Pros I love the attendance taking feature. It is super easy to check students as present or absent and submit it. I also like that you can label a student as a trial so I know who is registered and who is new. Cons Sometimes my time card entry would delete or not register in the system and I would have to go back and figure out which one was missing. Review Source CP Cassidy P. Office Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for already enrolled students!" December 12, 2024 5.0 I do really love the versatility of DanceStudio-Pro, and how easy it is to use. I feel comfortable in its system, and it makes it really easy to contact students. Pros DSP is very user friendly, and makes it easy to see and run tuition, enroll students in classes, and send out emails. Cons The fact that customers have to make an account before selecting classes to enroll in (versus selecting a class to enroll in and then only after creating an account) was a barrier that ultimately made us leave the platform for our child/teen classes. Alternatives considered [Jackrabbit Dance](https://www.capterra.com/p/93349/Jackrabbit-Dance/) Reason for choosing Studio Pro Great adult punch-card system, easy appointment/private lesson booking system, and easy online sales system. We currently use both DSP and Jackrabbit to meet our studio's needs. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Analyst Consumer Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Easy to Use and Well Organized" September 9, 2026 4.0 Pros Studio Pro is easy to use and keeps class schedules, attendance, payments, and student information organized in one place. The interface is simple to navigate, and the registration and communication features make daily studio management more convenient. Cons Some features could be more flexible and customizable. Users have mentioned limitations with organizing student information and setting different rules for individual classes or students. The mobile app also does not offer everything available on the website, which can be inconvenient when managing more detailed tasks. Review Source LH Lotella H. Studio Director Founder Performing Arts Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Parent Portal Log In Issues" August 30, 2024 2.0 Not great at all. When over 50% of your clients can’t log in it defeats the purpose of using the website. I asked for them to waive the fee for a fee months due to the issues we had all last season. They were unwilling to do so, so my prescription to their will expire towards the end of September. I refuse to $45 a month as a nonprofit dance business when my customers can’t log in and my staff has to keep resending parents links. Like they do not know how to log in. One of my parents is a business owner and she does a website similar to this one for her clients and she has no issues at all. Pros Was easy to set up and easy for parents to see each item itemized. Cons Parents hardly being able to access parent portal to pay and consistently getting logged out. They try to tell you that you do not contact them because apparently their link to get help doesn’t directly work thru their website. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Reason for choosing Studio Pro Because it looked easy to navigate. We are likely switching to WIX as we have our studio website there. Review Source GH Ginger H.

March 12, 2020 5.0 DanceStudio-Pro is a very complete and robust tool, available in its web version and a mobile application, it stands out from other programs available in the market thanks to its functionality and that it is easy to use, it improved notably my efficiency as a dance teacher since it allowed me to establish a better organization of my classes and students, the experience that I obtained since I began to use it has been wonderful and it has allowed me to increase my portfolio of clients Pros It offers the possibility to efficiently manage your dance classes, customers, attendance records or automation of that billing process, online registration, scheduling, however at the personal level the feature that I use most and the one I like best in this program is the management of recitals, which together with the mobile application of the program allows me to manage my business in a simple and efficient way, so I devote more effort and concentration to the man hours used in the realization of the dance classes that in the administrative part , which I find great additionally has a very intuitive interface so it does not require learning curve. Another aspect to highlight is its price, it is very affordable so it can be used from small businesses or personal ventures to large dance academies. Cons One limitation is that its mobile application is only available for iOs operating systems (iPad, iPhone and iPod.), I would like an update to expand its compatibility with the Android system. Reason for choosing Studio Pro I have tested and used several programs that allow me to facilitate my work activities as a dance teacher and so far I have obtained very good results with this tool, it has a good price, a lot of functionality and is easy to use Review Source KR Katie R. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "High fees to use credit cards" October 21, 2024 4.0 I like being able to sign up for classes easily. Pros It is easy to see balances due and register for classes. Cons I don't like how I can't save new credit card information, but it keeps my old card saved. I also don't like the high fees to use a credit card online. Review Source JM Jessica M.

Dance Studio Owners Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My experience with DSP" October 21, 2020 5.0 Pros Dance Studio does a everything and save me a lot of time. I like that we can suggest some update or integrations and they will listen and take them into considerations Cons The fact that they don't have a phone number for customer support was an issue at 1st, I quickly realized that they were very responsive with email and they send our some videos tutorial that are really helpful Review Source KB Kimberly B. Owner, Artistic Director Used the software for: ### "The best out there." February 5, 2016 5.0 I checked into many studio management programs and used two prior to DanceStudio-Pro. It is far better than any I have used or looked at, more affordable, and has the best customer service I have found. One program tried to charge me to fix issues that I found in their system. One said that they couldn't make their system work to meet my needs, one said that they could customize it, but it would cost me a couple hundred dollars. With DSP, when I've run into things that didn't quite work with my method of doing things, they have been great about helping me find a way to make it work. DSP accommodates my tiered multi-class discounts in a way that no other program did. The customer support at DSP is second to none. They respond quickly and have answers. They have gone above and beyond what I even expected to help me understand the intricacies of the program and to make it work for me. I am thrilled not to have to spend the hours I have spent in previous years recording income, generating spreadsheets and being frustrated because I am a dance instructor, not an accountant. I love the freedom DSP has given me from that, the way the program is customizable, and their patience with me when I don't understand something or make a mistake. I especially appreciate that if I do make an error or run into an issue, they help me find the solution to it. I really can't speak highly enough about DSP and their support! The other "bigger names" really can't hold a candle to DSP, in my opinion! Review Source WS Wendi S. Owner Medical Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to learn.

Assistant Director Fine Art Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing" August 5, 2022 4.0 Pros DanceStudio-Pro has helped streamline everything for the studio. From online registration, monthly payments, attendance, costuming and recital planning, we do it all through this system. Cons We separate our classes up my grade level. We would love the option to add the students grade level into their registration information but then for that information to automatically update, much like their age does. We currently have that information in our “Additional Data” but we manually have to update the information each year. Reason for choosing Studio Pro For the size of our studio this program was more economical for us. Review Source DE Danielle E. Studio owner Performing Arts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Life changing!" July 26, 2022 5.0 Pros The software makes it easy to have everything in one spot. I love the reports feature where we can run different reports and review statistics, numbers, and more. Cons If you don’t use credit cards, the payment screens can be confusing because the online payment icons are visa logos and the text often says pay with credit card even if you have personally disables credit card feature. Review Source PB Patrick B. CFO Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Greedy company" October 1, 2019 1.0 Sorry company doesn’t care about their customers. Pros Used to be price now that has been taken away. Cons They have just raised the prices which is about the only thing that made their program good. They try to push their customers to make choices that only benefit them and not the customer for example limiting merchant processors that are available. Also they just planned a price hike doubling some of our monthly fee to them.

But parents can not easily set up auto pay! So none of the reports or dashboards mean much if you can’t get paid.the most important element of a software system is to make collecting money as easy as pressing a button. This is not. They need to fix this if they want to keep their current subscribers. Cons Collecting tuitionAnd way too many reportsReports are not named or categorized in a way to keep up with. Too much selection and the one reports you do need are buried.
