STEPSY FOR COMPETITION & RECITAL DANCE STUDIOS

Run your entire season:

classes, rehearsals, recital, and competition

without losing a dancer to the chaos

From fall enrollment to recital night, Stepsy keeps every team, rehearsal, costume, and parent message organized in one platform built around how a dance season actually runs.

Get started
COMPETITION & RECITAL DANCE STUDIOS software

A dance season has more moving parts than almost any other business

Between recital prep and competition season, most studios are running it on spreadsheets nobody has time to keep updated.

member groups

One dropout breaks a whole routine

Losing a single dancer mid-season doesn't just cost tuition — it can force a full reshuffle of a group number.

multiple calendars feature

Three calendars, one dancer

Regular classes, team rehearsals, and recital tech week all compete for the same rooms and the same families' attention.

billing receipts

Fees on top of fees

Tuition, costume deposits, competition entries, and recital tickets all need tracking — and none of it is a simple monthly subscription.

group messages

The group chat problem

Rehearsal changes and costume reminders get lost in the wrong chat or sent to families who don't even need them.

Manage Teams, Routines & Competition Entry

Build and manage your competition teams

Group dancers into solos, duets, small groups, and lines using custom member groups—each named after the routine itself —with their own custom fields for choreographer, music, duration, style, age division, and entry-size category. A dancer belongs to as many groups as she has routines, and every group exports as a clean, competition-ready roster.

  • Create unlimited custom groups — one per routine, team, or age division
  • Add custom fields to each group: choreographer, music file, duration, category tags
  • One dancer, multiple groups — a solo and a group number at once, no duplicate profiles
  • Export any group's roster to CSV — routine details plus each dancer's name and age, ready for a competition entry form
Manage all member groups
Class Scheduling

One calendar for classes, rehearsals, and recital week

Your regular weekly schedule, extra team rehearsals, and the chaos of recital tech week all live on the same real-time calendar — nothing gets double-booked, and no family is left guessing.

  • Recurring class templates plus one-off rehearsal and event slots
  • Capacity and waitlist management, even for high-demand rehearsals
  • Real-time updates the moment a room or time changes
  • Families always see the current schedule — no group-text corrections

Private Staff Calendars

Plan the show without the chaos

Create separate calendars for the recital run-of-show, tech week, and competition weekend logistics, set them to private, and build the schedule by dragging routines into place.

  • Unlimited calendars, private or public
  • Drag and drop to build or reorder; right-click to copy or delete a slot instantly
  • Rearrange freely as dress rehearsals shift or costume-change timing gets tight, without retyping anything
  • Export any calendar to PDF for a printable backstage, tech, or competition-day sheet

Engagement & Custom Chat Groups

Talk to the right parents, not all of them

Message a specific team, a specific membership, or a specific tuition group — instead of blasting your entire studio every time a costume fitting or rehearsal time changes.

  • Custom chat groups by team, membership, or tuition status
  • One-time or recurring scheduled messages
  • Free class invites and discount codes to fill open rehearsal slots
  • Loyalty schemes to keep families enrolled season after season

Payments & Billing

Tuition, team fees, and recital costs — one system, not five

  • Unlimited plan types: tuition, team add-ons, one-time fees
  • Automated recurring billing plus one-off charges for team or recital costs
  • Accept payments everywhere your families already interact with you
  • One dashboard for every transaction — no spreadsheet reconciliation

Online Shop

Every costume deposit, every ticket — tracked in one place

List costumes, team merch, and recital tickets as products in your online shop, and use built-in order status, deposit, and delivery tracking to know exactly who's paid their costume deposit and whose order is ready for pickup.

  • Sell costumes with deposit tracking, order status, and delivery/pickup updates
  • Sell recital and showcase tickets straight from your platform
  • Offer studio and team merch alongside costumes and tickets
  • One dashboard for every physical order — no separate spreadsheet for "who's paid their costume deposit"
