Dance studio software for dance academies
A dance academy is a large, multi-genre school running many weekly classes across several instructors and often more than one location. Floorwork is dance studio software built to run all of it from one place for $199 per month per studio.
Who this is for
Floorwork suits academies that have outgrown a spreadsheet and a calendar app but do not want the cost and complexity of legacy systems like Mindbody. If the descriptions below sound like your week, the platform was built for you.
- Multi-genre schools
- You teach ballet, tap, jazz, hip-hop, contemporary, lyrical, and competition team across many levels, and your weekly grid runs to dozens of classes rather than a handful.
- Studios with a real teaching staff
- You schedule several instructors and front-desk staff each week, and you need to know who is teaching what, where, and when without a group chat falling apart.
- Year-round operations with seasonal peaks
- You run a full season plus summer intensives, holiday workshops, and recital prep, so registration is never truly closed and the schedule keeps changing.
- Growing or multi-location studios
- You run one busy building today and may add a second location, and you want one system that scales with you rather than a fresh setup per site.
The academy workflow on Floorwork
Floorwork handles the parts of an academy that get heavy at scale: a large schedule, a staff to coordinate, payroll to run, and hundreds of families to keep track of. Here is how the core workflow fits together.
- Build a large weekly schedule once
- Lay out every class, level, style, and room for the season. Students see a live schedule on your own site, and changes publish instantly rather than living in a stale PDF.
- Schedule instructors and staff
- Assign teachers to classes and front-desk staff to shifts, see the week at a glance, and avoid the double-bookings that come with running everything by memory.
- Run instructor payroll
- Pay teachers on a per-class, hourly, or split-rate basis, with payouts and splits tracked in the platform so the end-of-month math is not a manual reconciliation.
- Work a real student CRM
- Every family, enrollment, package, and payment lives in one record. Build segments such as competition parents, beginner adults, or lapsed students, then act on them.
- Open seasonal sessions alongside the year
- Spin up summer intensives and workshops as their own bookable sessions without disturbing the standing weekly schedule, so registration runs on both at once.
Multi-location support
If your academy runs more than one building, Floorwork treats each as a studio under a single account. Your staff switch between locations from one login, and the schedule, students, instructors, and payroll for each site stay cleanly separated rather than blended into one confusing list.
Pricing scales the same simple way the platform does. The first studio is $199 per month, and each additional location is $49 per month. There is no per-student fee, no per-class fee, and no surprise tier you hit once you grow, so adding your second or third site is a predictable line item rather than a renegotiation.
Because every location reports into the same account, you can see the academy as a whole when you want the big picture and drill into a single site when you need to manage it. That is the balance a growing multi-genre school needs: one system, clear boundaries per location.
