Class Ready — dance studio management software
🩰 For dance & theatre schools

Dance studio management software that's actually free

Class lists, registers, term dates, invoicing and parent messaging — the whole studio office in one place. No monthly fee: you only ever pay 1.5% + 20p on payments you take through the app.

Everything the studio office does, in one app

Classes, capacity and waiting lists

Build your timetable with venues, days and times, set a capacity per class, and let a waiting list form automatically when a class fills. Offer a place with one click when a space opens.

  • Per-class capacity limits
  • Automatic waiting lists
  • Term dates with holiday weeks that aren't charged
Electronic registers

Teachers take the register on any phone or tablet as they teach. Present, absent, late and excused marks are stored per session, with a full history per class you can look back on at any time.

  • One-tap marking in the studio
  • Register history per class
  • Staff can take registers without access to settings or money
Invoicing and payments

Generate every family's invoice for a term in one go, based on the classes each student takes. Add sibling discounts, bursaries and ad hoc private lessons, then send them out in bulk.

  • Automatic term invoices from class lists
  • Discounts, bursaries and instalment plans
  • Card payments via Stripe — 1.5% + 20p per transaction, nothing monthly
Parents kept in the loop

A notice board, targeted email broadcasts by class or group, push notifications and a parent portal with a family calendar. Parents see forms to fill in and invoices to pay the moment they sign in.

  • Email any class, group or hand-picked students
  • Family calendar across all their children
  • Uniform and term info on your public school page

£0/month. No catch.

Unlimited classes, students and terms at no monthly cost. If you choose to take card payments through Class Ready, the fee is 1.5% + 20p per transaction — invoice by bank transfer or link to your own uniform shop and there's nothing to pay at all.
