As the owner of a large studio, they fit my needs better than most programs. What really stands out, however, is their customer service. You always speak to a real person, their response times are fast, thorough, and they truly go above and beyond in every way. They are also willing to listen to suggestions and make adjustments as they can. Pros The customer service, willingness to listen to suggestions, ease of use, new/updated interface is awesome! Cons The inability to bill tuition upon registration (they're working on it!), a lack of integration with other apps Alternatives considered [Jackrabbit Dance](https://www.capterra.com/p/93349/Jackrabbit-Dance/)[Studio Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/131996/DanceStudio-Pro/) Reason for choosing CompuDance The customer service and billing flexibility Review Source AM Abby M. Dance Studio Owner Fine Art Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to navigate" July 19, 2019 5.0 I have had an excellent experience with . They are very quick to respond with any problems or questions. Pros Easy to navigate and learn new features Cons Just need to have a way of tracking each payment entered - maybe with a Full Check amount box and then disperse the check how needed. If any leftover it automatically becomes a credit. That would be amazing! Alternatives considered [Jackrabbit Dance](https://www.capterra.com/p/93349/Jackrabbit-Dance/) Reason for choosing CompuDance I had the old desktop version of and I just truly felt like they were more than accommodating on the switch to online services. Review Source LG Lori G. Owner, President Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Compudance Software for dance studios is Wonderful!" June 8, 2026 5.0 Pros I have used for over 20 years. The customer service is wonderful. They answer any questions I have immediately and always help walk me through any new changes to the system. Compudance has saved me an immeasurable amount of time in bookkeeping, organizing, billing, class structure and many more ways. I highly recommend this program to all businesses. Cons There are so many features, I cannot learn all of them. Taking time to go through the system is just something I can't do but wish I could. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Independent Brand Partner Cosmetics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We find it frustrating to use this. Lots of little things that don't make sense or work when needed." March 15, 2018 2.0 It does what we need, but the process of getting those needs met is challenging at best. In speaking with other studio owners it seems there are other programs that are much simpler and offer more than , and we do plan to look into them. Pros The customer service is excellent - we always get a quick response with answers to our questions. The Help area is usually helpful as well. It's nice that you offer mass texting, and we look forward to trying it, as we often have issues with our email provider. Aside from that... we spend a lot of time complaining about it. Cons Nothing is intuitive or easy to do/figure out. I notice lots of typos in various areas, which is just a reflection of the attention to detail. The fact that EVERYTHING needed to be recreated from scratch (versus imported) when you upgraded to the current version is unbelievable, and caused a ridiculous amount of work/frustration. It's also hard to believe this is a new version. It looks and feels very clunky and dated. And is there a mobile version? If not, there should be. Not that we'd attempt to use it given how challenging the desktop version is. We've noted a number of issues via customer services channels, but some things that would make a nice addition would be adding phone and/or email info to the billing areas as we often need to see balance detail and then get in touch with a family. We now have to go to "Student" to get their contact info, write it down, and go back to "Billing" to get the info we need to communicate. Was told we could open a separate tab and have two tabs of running, but this seems unnecessary. Reports are not easy or obvious. Creating groups is not easy. Honestly, nothing is easy - and it should be. Deposits are impossible to find and make logging payments very confusing - no matter which view you use (and why are there two to begin with?) Review Source Response from CompuDance May 1, 2018 Hello Cosmetics Company, I am not sure why you did not post all your Info name company??. We do not know who you are. I am sorry to say that your company is not in our database, as we do not service company like yours.Thank you. EM Erin M.

We are hoping to launch them next week but have already been playing around with them and I think our parents will be SO SO happy! Pros They really listen to feedback and strive to give their customers what they are asking for. Made several changes over the last year+ that has vastly improved the efficiency of the program. Online help manual is very descriptive and useful but if you have to call/email in they respond quickly! Cons I didn't like the billing set up and no way to track refunds but they added quick billing links to the Student list and now track refunds. I found the software quite easy to use when using with their online help manual but have found it difficult to teach to new admins. Review Source AS Ashlee S. GM Performing Arts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Each update is better and better" April 13, 2018 4.0 Pros The best part of is the customer service. My calls or e-mails are answered promptly and the staff is helpful. I like that new updates are becoming available with helpful features. My favorite recent update is the entire ledger on a family account Cons I would like to see the pricing matrix work with our family discounts and be able to calculate the discount for students on the same account. It would also be helpful if when I typed something in the search bar if I typed part of the word it would come up. For example billing category "competitions/conventions - hollywood vibe" I could just type Hollywood Vibe... Review Source Response from CompuDance April 19, 2018 Hi Ashlee Thank you for your review! We have recently added more flexibility in calculating tuition and we should be able to accommodate your tuition schedule. If you email your fee schedule over to us we can take a look and get back to you. Thank you for being a loyal CompuDance customer! Delicia Monet H. Restorative Justice Mediation Intern Wake County Schools Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I have used Compudance since 2002 and it has always been extremely useful in helping me organize " March 6, 2018 5.0 Pros The online application for virtually everything! Awesome customer support. Options for having multiple schools all in one data base. Cons I miss having the expense record options. It made tax season so much easier and help to keep up with vendors and monthly spending. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Manager, IT Project Management Office - Technical Business Solutions Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Fantastic!" March 15, 2018 4.0 organization! Pros There are a lot of features and customer support is responsive and very helpful. I appreciate the constant updates, adding new features and updating functionality. Cons I wish invoicing was a little easier, I could be partly my approach but I am sure there are other studios that invoice the same way I do. Review Source NS Nancy S. Director Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Some features are really good and others just don't work for me." March 10, 2018 3.0 knowing when the kids birthdays are. Attendance. Pros I think you have very good customer service. Responding quickly to questions.The only email function I like is by day, in case of snow it's easy to cancel classes. Cons the email function is a pain. You have to cut and paste. The email erases what you wrote and you can't save it. You can't email 2 different groups (like a sat b/t and a monday b/j) unless you set up a group. That would mean making a group for every little thing you do. Also, mailing labels look awful. There is a large space between town and state. Also, last time we printed labels for the entire studio, we were missing half the pages (E & F, M-O, S-T, V-W). Not sure why Review Source VA Vivette A. Owner, instructor, bookkeeper, janitor Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Compudance does everything I want it to, and helps me keep on top of the business side of my studio." March 7, 2018 5.0 Control of my money! Pros The customer service! No matter what question I have the staff quickly helps me work it out. Ease of use. It's really easy to post charges, take payments, run autopay. Cons That invoices print out separately, which really is no big thing. There have been a few times I wanted to do something, like have a workshop like class automatically charge on registering that the program is not set up to do, but again, not a big thing. Review Source AK Angie K. Owner of dance studio Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I have had a wonderful experience. The staff is great to work with and the program is very easy." March 10, 2018 5.0 Pros It is very easy to learn, I love all the features from billing to class scheduling to Costume measuring and the staff is very helpful Cons I wish they had something added to it like QuickBooks so I could keep track of all my financial reports Review Source CC Carolyn C. School Registrar Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use." March 9, 2018 5.0 Pros Easy ability to switch from season to season. I also love the fact that the different costume sizing charts are available at my fingertips. Review Source DC Donna C. Office Manager Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great customer support. Product gets updated frequently to improve functionality." March 6, 2018 4.0 Cloud backup. Customer support. Accounting, scheduling and recital set-up. Pros The quick response time by customer support and customer support's willingness to tutor the customer through anything. Cons Spreadsheet format for printing can be cumbersome. Some functions are counter-intuitive if you are not well-versed in accounting programs. Review Source HC Heather-Ami C. Artistic Director Performing Arts Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Basic Software" February 10, 2021 2.0 OK for starting out to get basics up and running, but did not fit our needs as a growing business. Pros Basic, simple, relatively easy-to-use. Not difficult to set up. Cons Very few features. OK for office use, but not user-friendly from client end (ie: Dance families). Review Source Response from CompuDance February 12, 2021 Hi Heather, we have no record of you using our software. If you were a client in the past 10 years we would have a record of that. It's unfortunate you felt the need to write a review about our software without any recent knowledge or use. aT asma T.

" June 22, 2018 5.0 Help me get started with my business Pros I was nervous about taking on another monthly bill, but it is SO worth it! There are so many features that are NOT extras like other softwares. It has completely changed the way we run our studio. We love it AND even better, our dance families love it! Cons every think about the software is good and I like to recommend it to every one all schools and dance studio Review Source AA Azhar A. Computer Support Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to use Software" June 26, 2018 5.0 Pros The program saves us time and money, My desk staff now can focus more on customer service. I love how they actually apply our suggestions, I recommend them highly Cons They have to many features , might need time to try all the features, love the look and feel of the software Review Source BM Becky M. Office Manager/Bookkeeper Used the software for: ### "Quick and Ease of Use" November 24, 2015 5.0 This software has been in use for many years of my working at the studio. The Upgrades and ease of transition has been a breeze. I always experience top quality customer service from each representative that helps me when i call in with questions. Would recommend this software for your dance studio needs! Review Source TJ Tia J. Director of Dance Operations Used the software for: ### "Great!" November 24, 2015 4.0 Our studio has been using this software since 2008. We were so excited when the cloud based system was introduced. It has been a great system. Costumer service is personable and listens to suggestions. Review Source LM Leigh M. Owner/director Used the software for: ### "Have been using this software for years" November 21, 2015 5.0 I have used this software for as long as I can remember. It is user friendly, concise, and easy to navigate. Review Source DS David S. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Studio Software" July 16, 2019 5.0 I have solved my need for monthly billing with the integration of payment processors to handle all ACH and Credit Card payments. The software also allows and keeps track of advanced payments on deposit. There Online Parent Portal gives each costumer (guardians) the ability to update all account information, make any and additional payments directly from their own Personal Portal, add individual dance classes each semester as needed. Numerous other option included for handling communication with all clients on an individual or group basis. I could not handle our business so efficiently without the Compu Dance software. Pros First and for most the costumer service team is amazing. Their software is complete with all tools needed to run our studio with precision for over 16 years. They are constantly adding addition features based on customer recommendations and feedback. Cons There is nothing we do not like about this software. Review Source JG Jennifer G. Office Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We have all of our dance studio functions in Compudance, including billing and recital planning" March 11, 2018 4.0 Helps our business run more efficiently. Pros Easy to learn, accepts online payments, recital planning features are great. The student database tracks everything we need. The parent portal allows parents to pay online. That is a cost savingt us in terms of personnel. Cons Sometimes it takes 3 steps to perform one function. Changing an email adress has to happen on a few different screens, instead of one. That is frustrating. Making a student inactive doesn't automatically drop them from their classes. That sort of thing is time consuming. There are multiple steps to add billing categories and prices - it should all be on one screen. Review Source CZ Carolyn Z. Director/Owner Performing Arts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Where customer concerns and questions are top priority" February 12, 2019 5.0 Pros provides the tools to manage my dance school from billings to sending out birthday emails.I've been using Compudance for more than 20 years - and managed with the help from Maureen, the owner and her team to move to the on-line program. In a word or two I would say Compudance is about 'customer service and committment to the customer'. They even provided me with affordable on-site training! I highly recommend Compudance! Cons I have suggested that the school contact info be automatic in the emails - I'm pretty sure Maureen, the owner will make it happen. This feature will save some time. Review Source JN Jeanine N. Owner Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Customer service is wonderful, they are very patient as you learn how their system works." March 26, 2018 5.0 Saving lots of time in my billing each month, once I learned how to do the basics, I have saved a ton of time doing my books from when I did my paper billing. Pros It has made billing so much easier than before. The classes are easy to set up and get to to view. There are lots of reports that can be run and teachers can access it to take roll etc... The staff is very patient with questions and concerns and are quick to help me when I have questions or problems with accounts etc... I would say customer service is my favorite thing about switching to the on line version of . Cons It's rather complicated to learn at first, it just takes a lot of time because it can do so much. I don't like that it is so different from their desktop version, I wish they were more similar. I miss some features of the desk top version. I would prefer to be able to bill the family by family instead of having to bill each sibling separately. Review Source DJ Debra J. Office Manager Fine Art Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A bit hard to learn... but once you understand it, the system does everything needed " March 6, 2018 4.0 Billing system is Sooooooooo much better than our old system. Easy to track past due accounts. Easy to email short notices off to the entire school. Easy to bill. Customer service is fast and helpful. Pros Brings things over to excel, so that we can sort anyway we like. Emails to all students in one click of a button. Billing is easy. Cons A little hard to maneuver around. Not easy to teach new users. When problems arise, the software team is wonderful, but they work east coast time and we are on the west coast -- and because this is a dance school - our hours don't even start until they have gone home for the day. Review Source LI Lynn I. Office Administrator Used the software for: 2+ years ### "So many features to make handling day to day tasks easy!" March 14, 2018 5.0 Pros I love using to manage the studio.
