Visit The Studio Director

The Studio Director is cloud-based studio management software for dance, gymnastics, cheerleading, fitness, martial arts, music, pilates, yoga and youth sports businesses. It handles administrative work such as enrollment, billing, payments, attendance, scheduling, reporting, events and costume management, with a customer portal where parents and students can register, view schedules and pay.

Features include online enrollment through the parent portal, recurring billing and prorated tuition, secure payment processing through PCI-compliant gateway partners, text and email communication with templates and drip campaigns, virtual classroom links, event and recital planning with ticket sales, costume management with vendor size charts, and dashboard, detail and summary reporting. The software runs in a browser and via a mobile app, with data stored on hosted servers.

Pricing is based on student count, with tiers from 0–100 up to 5000+, and a lower rate when payment processing is included. Plans are month-to-month with no setup fee, a 30-day money-back guarantee, and free support and training; the largest tier requires contacting sales.
