The Studio Director Review

The Studio Director is a web-based solution developed for dance and gymnastics studios to simplify and organize their administration and management activities. Gym owners and managers can better control and understand their business, whether they have a dozen or a hundred students. The program automates virtually every aspect of the dance studio, including administrative tasks such as registration and enrollment, attendance tracking, instructor activity sheets, student management, skills tracking, and more.
The solution can be customized to provide the specific functions required by a business, including tracking and reporting tools. Users can create pre-approved class confirmation letters, invoices, statements, report cards and class lists that can be customized with the firm’s logo.
