Booking software for
Dance teachers and studios
Ballet, contemporary, ballroom, Latin, and street dance all run on different class structures, different student demographics, and different term schedules. Nextro handles class capacity, upfront payment, and reminder automation so your studio runs on rhythm, not on spreadsheets.

The problems you're solving
Popular classes fill, but waitlist management is manual and error-prone
A Saturday morning beginners' ballet class for children fills weeks in advance. Managing a waitlist through texts and notes — and notifying the right person when a space opens — creates stress and missed opportunities.
Age-group and level-specific classes need their own booking flow
Juniors (5–8), intermediates (9–12), and adult beginners all need different classes at different times. Without level-specific services, parents book their child into the wrong class.
Term-based dance programmes require confirmed enrollment at the start
A 10-week dance programme should have committed, paying students enrolled before the term begins. Enrollments that dribble in through the term create administrative chaos and uneven class sizes.
Private lesson no-shows are costly when studio time is hired
A private dance lesson in a rented studio costs money whether the student turns up or not. Upfront payment means the lesson is financially protected.
How Nextro solves it
What you get
Group classes with capacity limits
Each class service has a set maximum. When full, it's no longer bookable. Class sizes stay appropriate for the teaching environment.
Term credit packs for regular students
Sell a 10-week term as a prepaid credit bundle. Students who enrol for the full term attend more consistently than drop-in students.
Private lessons as a separate, premium service
Private dance lessons — for adults learning ballroom, performers preparing for an audition, or competition dancers — listed separately at their own price and duration.
Upfront payment for every class and lesson
Students or parents pay when they book. No class-by-class cash collection, no outstanding term fees.
Age-specific class services
Toddler ballet: 30 minutes. Junior contemporary: 45 minutes. Adult beginner salsa: 60 minutes. Each listed with level description and age guidance.
Automatic class reminders
Students and parents receive a reminder before every class — reducing the forgotten-class problem that afflicts busy family schedules.

Questions answered
Common questions
Answers about booking, payments, and getting started with Nextro.
How does Nextro manage class capacity for dance studios?
Each class service has a maximum participant number. When the class reaches capacity, it's no longer bookable. Students who want to join a full class must choose a different session.
Can dance studios sell term packages through Nextro?
Yes. Nextro's credit pack feature lets you sell prepaid term bundles — 10 classes, 12 classes — at a term rate. Students purchase the term pack and redeem one credit per class.
Can I list classes for different age groups and skill levels separately?
Yes. Each class has its own service listing — toddler ballet (ages 3–5), junior ballet (ages 6–9), intermediate contemporary (ages 12–16), adult beginners — with age guidance in the description.
What cancellation policy should dance studios use?
A 24-hour cancellation window works well for regular weekly classes. For term packs, credits are typically retained rather than refunded — students rebook their missed class in another week.
Does Nextro work for dance teachers who rent studio space?
Yes. Set your teaching availability to match your studio hire hours. Your Nextro page only shows bookable times when you have the studio. You manage the studio hire separately.
