Software for competitive dance teams
Floorwork is booking and management software built for competitive dance studios: a platform that runs team rosters, recurring tuition, team fees, parent communication, and coach payouts in one place for $199 per month per studio.
Who this is for
Competitive dance studios run on a different rhythm than a recreational program. You carry standing teams across a full season, you bill tuition and a stack of team fees, and you answer a constant stream of parent questions about competitions, costumes, and travel. Floorwork is built for the studios below.
- Studios with standing competition teams
- You hold tryouts, set rosters by level, and keep the same dancers together across a season rather than reshuffling drop-ins every week.
- Programs that bill more than tuition
- On top of monthly tuition you collect team fees, costume deposits, choreography fees, and travel costs, and you need every charge tied to the right dancer.
- Studios that live in the parent inbox
- Competition season runs on communication. You send call times, costume notes, and payment reminders to specific teams, not the whole studio at once.
- Studios that pay coaches and choreographers
- You bring in guest choreographers and pay coaches per class or per team, so you need a clean record of who taught what and what they are owed.
The competitive-studio workflow on Floorwork
Here is how a competition program moves through Floorwork across a season, from tryouts to the last payout.
Tryouts and rosters start the season. You open registration for tryouts on your own studio website, take the dancers who make a team into the student CRM, and group them so a team is a real list you can bill and message rather than a spreadsheet you maintain by hand.
Recurring tuition and team fees run on a schedule. Tuition is set up as a recurring monthly charge per dancer, and team fees, costume deposits, and other one-time charges sit alongside it. Every payment runs through Stripe with your studio as the merchant of record, so your studio name is what families see on the statement.
Communication and attendance carry the season. You email a single team about a schedule change without spamming the rest of the studio, and rehearsal attendance is tracked against the roster so you know who is showing up before nationals, not after.
Payouts close the loop. Coaches and choreographers are paid through the same system that records their classes, so the money owed and the work done never live in two different places.

Designed for and on the roadmap
A few competition-specific pieces are designed and on the roadmap rather than shipped today. We would rather be honest about the line than oversell it.
- Structured tryout intake
- A dedicated tryout registration and placement flow, beyond using standard registration plus the CRM to seed a roster, is designed and planned.
- Travel and trip fee tracking
- Itemized travel and trip cost tracking per competition, as its own line rather than a one-time fee, is on the roadmap.
- Costume order management
- Sizing, order status, and per-dancer costume tracking beyond a costume deposit charge is designed for a later release.

Competition team software FAQ
- Is Floorwork good for competition dance teams?
- Yes. Floorwork is built for dance studios, and competitive programs are a core audience. It runs team rosters in the student CRM, bills recurring tuition and one-time team and costume fees per dancer, sends segmented email to a single team, tracks rehearsal attendance, and pays coaches through instructor payroll, all on your own studio website.
- Can it handle team fees and tuition?
- Yes. Tuition is billed as a recurring monthly charge per dancer, and team fees, costume deposits, and competition fees are charged as one-time amounts tied to the right dancer. Every payment runs through Stripe with your studio as the merchant of record, so families see your studio name on their statement.
- Can I message just one team without emailing the whole studio?
- Yes. Segmented email marketing lets you send call times, costume notes, and payment reminders to a single team or level rather than your entire student list, which is how most competition-season communication actually works.
- Does Floorwork track costumes and travel for competitions?
- Partly today. You can charge costume deposits and competition fees as one-time fees right now. Itemized travel cost tracking and full per-dancer costume order management, with sizing and order status, are designed and on the roadmap rather than shipped, so we want to be clear about the line.
- How much does Floorwork cost for a competition studio?
- Floorwork is $199 per month per studio, with the bespoke website included. Additional studio locations are $49 per month each. There is no separate per-team or per-dancer fee.
