7 Reasons why studio owners, managers, and teachers love Danceappointment.com!
Registration can be viewed at any time, in advance, giving the studio time to call additional students to fill the class. If the class cannot be filled, simply cancel the class with the click of one button. All registered students and staff receive automatic emails notifying them of the cancellation. This frees the room and the teacher to schedule private lessons in the same time block that would have been empty without Danceappointment.com.
Students will often book appointments on an "impulse." But if your studio is closed when they find you on the internet, or when they call your studio number, the student forgets to book at a later time. With Dance Appointment, the lesson is still booked, with your studio and not with another studio that answers the phone first.
Each time a student books or reschedules an appointment, the Instructor is automatically notified of the appointment by email. Plus the instructor can check their daily appointment schedule online at any time. With this feature, instructors can fill in times that are unscheduled, or reschedule conflicting appointments. No more double bookings!
Students, staff and management can check appointment schedules from anywhere in the world where there is internet connections. Many instructors travel for competitions, cruises, and workshops. With DanceAppointment, these instructors can watch their schedules for the day they return, or reschedule appointments, from the airport, if a flight is cancelled.
(No more confirmation calls needed) Every student gets an automatic reminder email 24 hours before any scheduled lesson. This leaves your receptionist free to answer questions and help students who are in the studio in person, instead of wasting countless hours each week calling students to confirm upcoming lessons.
Dance Appointment allows a studio to set up and track a student's program online. Instructors can check this data and they will always know exactly how many lessons the student has left before each lesson is taught. Supervisors are always prepared for upcoming planning sessions with students. Students are never surprised to find that they are out of lessons. Therefore, students can plan to be ready to purchase new lessons when they need to.
Students and instructors can both check notes from previous lessons that the student has attended. At the end of each class or private lesson, the instructors puts their notes online. Any student who registered for the class (or private) can go back online at any time and review the instructor notes. If a substitute or exchange teacher is working with a student, the instructor can review previous lessons and know exactly where to pick up the training.

Our clients and their students say: I own a dance studio in a small town. I used another web based appointment scheduler for over 4 years. It was not designed to be used for a ballroom dance school, even though it advertised it was for "dance schools." It was always as if I was trying to pound a square peg in a round hole. I can say I will never use a system designed for all kinds of businesses. Lets face it, we operate differently than a jazz/tap/ballet studio or a gymnastics or karate school. Danceappointment.com has made my student management tasks so easy that I actually enjoy using it. It only took me about 20 minutes to do the basic setup. After that, my students created their own accounts and I added their programs. My classes have more than tripled in less than 6 months. - Patricia - Studio Owner I created a new class at the studio and named it "forty plus." The idea was to have a class specifically targeted at students over the age of 40 years old. Our dance director put the class on the calendar in danceappointment.com and within a few days, I had new students emailing me about how to get in the class. The best part of this is that our studio manager stopped using the regular calendar page on our website and simply put a link on the calendar page so that people coming to our website to just look, were creating profiles just to look at the calendar. It was several of these people (who had never been in the studio) who were interested in my new class. This is a great way to build a student body, and I now have 8 new students just from this one class. Diane - Instructor I am happy that my studio has started using DanceAppointment.com. I love the idea of seeing all my lessons online, making appointments any time I feel like it, and being able to see who is in classes that I might register for. Now that I can see my instructor's notes online, It helps me remember what I am supposed to be practicing, between lessons. Plus, now if I have to reschedule an appointment, I can do so without the hassle of trying to call the studio during certain hours. It is making my dance life so much easier. In addition, I have recently found a practice partner by using the partner search on Dance Appointment. Now I can practice what I have learned with another student in my studio. Funny thing is, I knew she was in class, but never knew she was also looking for someone to practice with. Stephan - Student My studio uses Danceappointment.com. I was going on a trip to Tacoma, so I asked my teacher if he new any teachers in Tacoma. He suggested that I look in the DanceAppointment.com "studio list." I found Studio 6 in Tacoma. I was able to connect with that studio and now when I am in Tacoma, I have a second studio to study at. This is a fantastic idea! Rob - Student Over the Christmas break last year, I went on a cruise to central america. We took two weeks and enjoyed the warm weather while it was snowing at home. I was sitting on my balcony while at sea, and planning the January and February classes through DanceAppointment.com This was amazing, I was sitting the middle of the ocean, thousands of miles from home and still able to create new classes and make them available for students at home. But the best part was that while I was still in the carabbean, it snowed at home... A LOT. Students had cancelled their appointments for the next week because of the snow. Since I could see this happening in real time, I rescheduled the classes for a week later and spent an extra week in sunny florida! Now that is what I call a really useable service. Thank you DanceAppointment. John - Program Director |
