One studio family

Owners, teachers, and parents, all on the same page.

A dance studio runs on relationships. DSM gives each person the view that fits them, so the owner can spend less time at the desk and more time in the studio.

See the whole studio at a glance.

Enrollment, balances, waitlists, and who still owes a costume size, without the binder or the spreadsheet.

Teachers

More time with dancers, less with paperwork.

Teachers see their own classes, rosters, and attendance on any phone or tablet, and nothing they don't need.

Built for dance

Not a gym template with the word “dance” swapped in.

Multi-sport platforms are built around gymnastics and swim. DSM started in a dance studio in 2003, and it shows in the details.

Recital routines

Link routines to a recital class, place enrolled dancers, and keep the running order with the people in it.

How it works →

Costume sizes

Record measurements from the class roster and get size suggestions from your costume company's chart.

How it works →

Levels & prerequisites

Require completed classes before a dancer can register for the next level, backed by attendance history.

How it works →

Waitlists & drop-ins

Class and schedule capacities, public waitlists, and drop-in registration without overbooking a room.

How it works →

Private lessons

Families book privates against real instructor availability. It works for coaching and ballroom studios alike.

How it works →

Family accounts

Siblings, multi-class discounts, one statement, and one balance per family. The way studios actually bill.
