The studio management platform

Your studio, in motion.

AXIS brings your timetable, students, payments, communication and studio operations together in one beautifully simple platform — from first trial to final class.

Built around the way dance schools actually work. Prefer a guided tour first? Book a demo.

Built around the way dance schools actually work.

  • Trials, enrolment and payments in one place
  • Built for termly, monthly and instalment charging
  • One timetable across every venue and room
  • Your brand, on the customer app

Why AXIS

Less switching. Less chasing. More time for your studio.

Running a dance school involves far more than teaching. AXIS connects the tasks that usually live across spreadsheets, payment systems, inboxes, calendars and separate booking tools.

  • Too many separate systems for classes, payments and messaging
  • Trial information typed in twice — once by the family, once by you
  • Chasing unpaid balances by hand
  • Siblings and families scattered across separate records
  • Customer-facing software that doesn't feel like your school

The student journey

One connected journey, from trial to final class.

Information collected during a trial pre-populates enrolment — so families and administrators never fill in the same thing twice.

    Complete pre-enrolment

    One short form captures what enrolment will need.

    Reminders go out automatically beforehand.

  5. 05

    Join the school

    One-click invitation turns a trial into enrolment.

    Siblings and extra classes join the same account.

    Request to leave

    A clear, simple off-ramp when the time comes.

For studio owners

See the whole studio at a glance.

Active students, new trials, enrolments, outstanding payments, room use and staff schedules — one dashboard, updated as it happens. No more piecing the picture together from five different tools.

  • Capacity alerts before a class overbooks
  • Recent orders and announcements in one feed
  • Action items that tell you what needs attention today

Timetables & booking

One timetable. Every class, room and location.

Filter by venue, room, teacher, age and style. Recurring sessions, holiday overrides and waiting lists are all built in — and the same schedule powers your internal calendar, your families' view, and the public booking widget on your own website.

The full management view — every venue, room and teacher, filterable in seconds.

Your studio's identity

Built by AXIS. Branded by you.

Every school can customise the customer-facing app with its own logo, light or dark mode, up to five brand colours, class imagery and contact details — while the layout, usability and interaction design stay controlled by AXIS, so the experience is always consistent and accessible.

  • Own logo, colours and light/dark theme
  • Branded class imagery and announcements
  • Same structure and accessibility, every time

For studios

Built with dance schools, for dance schools.

AXIS is built around the realities of running a studio — trials, siblings, instalments, multiple venues, and the constant admin that comes with all of it. We're onboarding our first studios now; real stories and studio logos will land here as schools go live.
