Client & context

A growing dance school operating across multiple locations in the UK, offering a wide range of dance styles.

The studio manages:

  • 6 locations
  • 500+ students
  • 10+ teachers
  • multiple class groups across different age categories

As the business scaled, managing operations manually became increasingly difficult.

Operational challenges

As the studio grew, operations became fragmented and hard to control:

  • schedules were managed separately across multiple spreadsheets
  • no unified view of students across locations
  • family memberships and discounts were difficult to track
  • bookings and attendance required manual updates
  • invoices were created and tracked manually
  • administrators and owners had to constantly coordinate information

This resulted in:

  • high administrative workload
  • frequent errors in payments and bookings
  • lack of visibility across the business
  • heavy involvement of founders in day-to-day operations

The team was approaching a point where scaling further would require hiring more administrators — without actually solving the core problem.

Business goals

The studio needed a system that would:

  • centralize student and class data across all locations
  • automate booking and attendance tracking
  • simplify payment and invoicing processes
  • reduce manual administrative work
  • provide visibility into operations and performance
  • enable further growth without increasing operational chaos

Our solution

We designed and built a custom internal platform tailored to the studio’s operational structure.

The system unified scheduling, bookings, payments and communication into a single environment.

Core modules:

  • Centralized scheduling system
  • Unified student & family accounts across locations
  • Admin dashboard for full operational control
  • Automated invoicing and payment tracking
  • Attendance tracking with full history
  • Parent portal with access to schedules, payments and classes
  • Automated notifications and reminders
