For independent studio owners
Run your studio without your studio running you.
Pirouette works like a studio manager you don't have to hire — billing, reminders, scheduling, and the front desk running in the background, so you can get back to teaching and actually go home on time.
Flat monthly price · your Stripe, no payment middleman · branded mobile app included
The problem
You didn't open a studio to become a full-time receptionist, bill collector, and project manager.
But that's where most owners end up. The teaching you love gets squeezed between chasing tuition, re-explaining the same policy for the twentieth time, and putting out fires in the lobby. Pirouette quietly handles the billing, reminders, scheduling, and front desk — so the studio runs without running you.
Billing & payments
Get paid on time without ever asking “Have you paid me yet?”
Autopay charges the stored card on the billing date. Your front desk doesn't push it, your office manager doesn't push it, nobody pushes it. The money just lands in your Stripe account.
Autopay
Tuition that collects itself
Recurring tuition, sibling and multi-class discounts, costume and recital fees — all in one predictable billing cycle. No spreadsheets.
Recovery
Failed cards retry on their own
A declined card retries and texts the parent automatically, so you're never the bill collector in the hallway.
Front desk
A calm lobby and a classroom no one interrupts.
Check-ins, messages, schedules, and policies on one screen, so anyone on shift keeps things flowing and teachers stay in the classroom instead of getting stopped in the doorway.
One screen
The concierge
Today's queue, who's late, what's due, and notes on each family. Search-bar dominant, shift handoff visible.
Shift handoff
Nothing falls through the cracks
Log an issue and hand it cleanly to the next shift. No more “did anyone call that mom back?”
Schedules & enrollment
Plan your season once, then let it run.
Season, class, session, and private lessons — the whole year in one table. Families browse an up-to-date schedule and book a trial in a few clicks. No phone tag.
One calendar
The whole year in one view
Build around your pillar classes with teacher availability and room caps baked in. No joining across separate tables.
Caps & waitlists
Classes that fill themselves
Caps and waitlists enforce themselves, and spots auto-promote the moment one opens.
Switching feels safe
Changing software shouldn't mean rebuilding your studio.
- Guided onboarding
We bring your families, classes, and balances over for you.
- Learns in a day
Simple enough that your front desk picks it up in a shift, not a quarter.
- One flat price
Unlimited students and staff, SMS included. No per-line nickel-and-diming. The bottom line.
What it does, in one breath each
Six things Pirouette does that your current platform doesn't do well.
The first thing Mike sees when he opens the app. Total owed, split into the three aging buckets, click into any bucket to see who.
Stripe charges the stored card on the billing date. Christina doesn't push autopay. Diane doesn't push autopay. Nobody pushes autopay.
Search bar dominant. Shift handoff visible. Today's queue, pending actions, end-shift-to-Diane in one action.
Your balance. Your kid's schedule. Your kid's progress. No drilling, no emailing the front desk, no calling.
Teacher raises a sub request. It fans out to front desk, owners, and qualified teachers. First-to-claim locks. The original teacher sees it happen.
The whole year in one view. No joining across separate tables. Season at the top, sessions on the day.
Why owners switch to us
We earn your business every month.
Pirouette is built by two people. One runs a dance studio and lives these problems. One builds the software and sweats every login, payment, and line of code.
The receivables tile every studio owner asks for first, payroll derived from attendance, comp-fee escrow that doesn't get raided for ops.

Pirouette is rolling out to independent studios now. Join the waitlist and we'll bring your studio on with guided onboarding.
