What dance teachers actually need from booking software
Most generic scheduling tools were not built for dance. They handle the calendar piece and stop there. Here is what we built MoveMentors to do that an Acuity or Calendly setup cannot.
Group classes at fixed capacity
Most dance studios run classes with a hard capacity (12 in a beginner ballet class, 16 in a salsa social). Bookings should close automatically once the room is full.
Private lessons billed by the hour
Ballroom and latin teachers especially run a heavy private-lesson schedule. The software should price by duration, support back-to-back slots, and let the client see which times you have free.
Workshops and intensives as one-off events
A weekend bachata workshop or a guest teacher visit is not a recurring class. The software should handle event-style bookings with a fixed start, end, and capacity, without forcing the workshop into a weekly schedule.
Skill-level filtering so students book the right class
Beginners showing up to an advanced class is a recipe for student churn. Class types should carry a skill level (beginner, intermediate, advanced) that students can filter on before booking.

Frequently asked questions
Can I tag classes by skill level?+
Yes. Every class has a skill level field (beginner, intermediate, advanced, all levels). Students filter the directory by level so they only see classes that match their stage.
Can I take both group and private dance bookings?+
Yes. Group classes have a fixed capacity; private lessons are one-on-one and you set the duration and price per slot. You can offer both on the same profile.
Do you handle weekend workshops or guest teacher events?+
Yes. Workshops are class types with a fixed start, end, capacity, and price, set apart from your normal weekly schedule. Students see them in your upcoming events feed.
Can I sell class packages or punch cards?+
Yes. Sell a 10-class pack for a flat price, with an optional expiry. Students see their remaining classes and the credit is applied automatically at each booking.
Does the directory show my style of dance?+
Yes. Your profile tags include the styles you teach (ballet, salsa, contemporary, etc.) and the directory lets students filter by style and city. Search engines also pick up the tags, so 'salsa teacher Berlin' can surface your profile.
