Studio Setup

Before You Add Classes

1. Open Studio Settings (/studio/settings).
2. Confirm studio name, contact info, style offerings, practice rooms, and tax options.
3. Optionally enable Tuition Discount Rules (sibling / multi-class) and Auto-Charge Tuition Monthly. Declines appear on Customer Payments → Needs Attention. To skip auto-charge for one household while still posting tuition, open that billable account’s Credits tab and turn on Exclude From Auto-Charge Tuition Monthly.
4. Review Seasons under Classes before creating classes so tuition months match your season window.

Profile And Staff

1. Complete the studio profile and primary billing contact.
2. Invite teachers and assistants from Teachers / Assistants.
3. Confirm each invite is accepted before expecting staff access.

Build The Basics

1. Add dancers (manually or via Import Data).
2. Create classes and enroll dancers.
3. Add routines when you are preparing for competitions.
4. Publish documents and waivers families need to sign.

Ready For Events

1. Apply to competitions from your studio workspace.
2. After approval, attach routines and settle entry balances.

Checklist

• Studio Settings reviewed before the first class
• Season dates correct before season-linked classes
• At least one dancer, class, and (when needed) routine

Close Your Studio

1. Open Studio Settings and scroll to Close Studio.
2. Click Download Studio Data to save a copy of your roster, households, classes, charges, registrations, and waivers.
3. Optionally add a reason, click Request Studio Closure, then confirm.
4. You get an email confirming the request. We complete it within 30 days and email you again when it is done.

Closing deletes dancer contact, medical, and sizing details and registration requests, and removes teacher and family access. Invoices and payment history are kept as tax law requires.
