Room swaps break the week
Studio A becomes Studio B after a school booking, but not every parent gets the memo before drop-off.
Built for dance studios & performing arts schools
Your Studio Schedule,
In Step
Planora unites weekly class timetables, session attendance, make-up class bookings, and parent updates—so your team can focus on teaching technique, not chasing replies.
Where studio admin starts to wobble
Recital season should not mean triple the messages and half the clarity.
Make-ups slip through the cracks
Absent dancers are noted on paper, yet open spots are never offered to others who could fill the class.
Costume and exam news gets lost
Important updates scatter across Instagram DMs and email—while reception answers the same questions again.
Studio Management That Keeps the Beat
Whether you run ballet on Studio A and hip-hop on Studio B, Planora fits how dance schools juggle rooms, levels, and busy term calendars.
Class & Studio Scheduling
Set recurring classes by style, age group, instructor, and room. When rehearsal week shifts the timetable, every dancer and teacher sees the same corrected schedule instantly.
Attendance Every Class
Check dancers in from the front desk or on the floor. Track absences, late arrivals, and term attendance at a glance—useful for exams, showcases, and fee conversations.
Make-Up & Catch-Up Classes
When a dancer misses a session, open their slot as a make-up class for others on your roster. Keep studios full and give families a fair path to catch up before the term moves on.
Parent Communication
Share choreography notes, costume reminders, and schedule changes through the client portal. Parents stay informed without flooding your reception with DMs.
WhatsApp Reminders
Automate WhatsApp nudges before class—start times, studio changes, or when a make-up spot opens. Cut no-shows and stop copying the same message into every parent chat.
Dance Studio Software — Common Questions
Can Planora manage weekly dance class schedules across multiple rooms?
Yes. You can create recurring classes assigned to instructors and studios, then adjust single sessions when rooms swap or teachers cover. Families always see the timetable that applies to their dancer.
How does attendance work for dance classes?
Staff record attendance per session for each enrolled dancer. History stays on the dancer’s profile so you can review commitment ahead of exams, competitions, or conversations about fees and placement.
How do make-up or catch-up classes work when a dancer is absent?
When a class is cancelled under your studio policy, that place can be offered as a make-up session to other enrolled dancers. You recover studio time instead of running half-empty classes after a busy week of absences.
Can parents stay updated without calling the front desk?
Parents use the Planora client portal to view schedules, manage bookings where you allow it, and read updates from your team. Instructor notes and admin announcements land in one place—not scattered across email and social apps.
Does Planora send WhatsApp reminders for dance classes?
Planora supports WhatsApp notifications so you can remind families before class or alert them when times or studios change. What sends and when is configurable based on your plan and notification settings.
Is Planora a good fit for studios with multiple teachers and disciplines?
Growth plans include staff accounts so teachers and front-desk staff work in the same system. Ballet, contemporary, street, and preschool programmes can all run on one schedule with shared attendance and communication tools.
