STEPSY FOR PROFESSIONAL & CLASSICAL DANCE SCHOOLS

From first-grade exam to final audition — every level of classical training, organized

Stepsy tracks syllabus levels, exam eligibility, uniform compliance, and tuition in one platform built for the structure classical training actually requires.

professional dance schools

Classical training runs on structure most club software doesn't understand

This isn't "which class are they in" — it's a whole record of grade, exam history, and readiness.

increase member retention

A level isn't a class; it's a record

Current grade, syllabus type, and exam history all need to travel with the student, not just this term's enrollment.

dance uniform

Uniform isn't optional here

Specific leotard colors and styles by grade are often strictly enforced, not just "wear something comfortable."

billing receipts

Exam fees on top of tuition

A separate cost, paid to an external examining body but still collected and tracked by the school.

tuitions

Guest faculty don't fit the regular grid

Masterclasses and intensives need to be layered onto the weekly schedule without disrupting it.

Member Groups

Track every student's grade, syllabus, and progress in one place

Group students by syllabus grade — RAD Grade 4, Vaganova Year 6, or whatever system you teach — with custom fields for syllabus type, current teacher, and exam date. A student moves to the next group the moment they advance, with no separate spreadsheet to update.

  • Create a group per grade or level, tagged with syllabus type
  • Custom fields for exam date, assigned teacher, or placement notes
  • Move a student between groups the moment they advance a level
  • Filter attendance, billing, and messaging by grade — not just by class

Class Scheduling

A weekly grid built around grade, not just time

Structure your regular classes by grade level, and layer guest-teacher masterclasses or intensives on top without disrupting the standing weekly schedule.

  • Recurring classes organized by grade and syllabus
  • One-off masterclass or intensive slots alongside the regular grid
  • Real-time updates the moment a room, teacher, or time changes
  • Students and parents always see the current schedule, no manual corrections

Daily Check-ins & Reports

Attendance that actually determines exam eligibility

A quick scan at check-in builds a clean attendance record for every student, and advanced reporting lets you filter by date range, class, subscription, member, or group — pulling exactly the attendance window an exam session requires.

  • Real-time check-in and attendance logs by student and by grade
  • Advanced reporting filterable by date, class, subscription, member, or group
  • No manual sign-in sheets to reconcile before exam season
  • Feeds directly into the advancement-readiness signals in AI Analytics

Engagement

Message the grade that actually needs to hear it

Send exam-date reminders to just Grade 4, or masterclass details to only the students invited — instead of one generic announcement to the whole school.

  • Custom chat groups by grade, syllabus, or exam cohort
  • One-time or recurring scheduled messages
  • Free trial-class invites and discount codes for prospective families
  • Loyalty schemes for long-term, multi-year students

  • Accept payments online, in-app, and in person

Frequently asked questions

Can I track which syllabus grade each student is currently in?

Yes. Students are grouped by grade or level, with custom fields for syllabus type, teacher, and exam date, and are moved to the next group the moment they advance.

Can I collect exam fees separately from regular tuition?

Yes. Exam fees can be set up as a distinct one-time charge, tracked separately from monthly tuition but billed through the same system.

Can I enforce grade-specific uniform requirements?

Yes. Required uniform items can be listed by grade in your online shop, so parents can order exactly what's required for their child's level.

Can I schedule guest teacher masterclasses without disrupting the regular schedule?

Yes. One-off masterclass or intensive slots can be added alongside your standing weekly grid without altering it.

Can I see which students are ready to advance a grade?
