Read full description

DanceSync is the calm, complete home for a dance academy — classes, students, attendance, practice clips, fees, and every parent conversation in one place, instead of notebooks, calls, and scattered message groups. The app is free. Your academy creates the accounts for its teachers and for the parents of its students, and there is nothing to buy inside it. Built for how studios actually run, not adapted from generic school software. Every style is welcome — Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, Kathak, Odissi, Bollywood, ballet, and contemporary. RUN YOUR CLASSES - Your timetable and today's classes, ready before the music starts - Student list for every batch, always current - Mark attendance for the class in front of you in seconds - Add classes, batches, and students as the academy grows KEEP FAMILIES CLOSE - Share announcements, performance notes, and class moments with parents - Private messages between teachers and a dancer's family - Read receipts, so you know the message landed - Push notifications, so nothing important gets buried SHARE PRACTICE CLIPS WITH A BATCH - Your teachers record a step or a correction and send it straight to the batch it belongs to - Only the families in that class can open it — nothing is public, and nothing is shared between academies - Teachers keep a private space for clips they have not shared yet - Find a clip by class, or by the date it was taught - A teacher's material stays with the academy when a phone is replaced TRACK AND COLLECT FEES - Record what each dancer owes for their in-person classes at your studio, and what is already paid - Accept tuition payments for those classes, one-off or scheduled - A paid / due snapshot for every batch at a glance - Clean payment history per student, ready when a parent asks - Send fee reminders without an awkward conversation FOR PARENTS - Everything from your dancer's academy in one feed - Practice clips from your dancer's own class, to rehearse with at home - Save a clip for practice when the internet is patchy - Class schedule, attendance, and fee status for each child - Message the academy directly - Sign in with your phone number and a PIN — no password to remember DanceSync is used by an academy and the families it teaches.
