Match the room to the rehearsal
Describe floor type, mirrors, sound facilities and usable space so instructors and performers can choose an appropriate studio.
Dance studio hire booking software
An instructor planning a workshop and a dancer practising choreography may need the same floor for different lengths of time. Put each studio’s availability in one place and let hirers reserve the room around their plans.

From the first click to a confirmed booking
Choose the right booking
An instructor or group selects a studio after reviewing the floor, layout and facilities. Explain permitted uses and any footwear or equipment requirements.
Find a suitable time
They select a hire duration and available start time. Ask them to reserve enough time for the whole visit, including preparation and leaving the studio ready for the next user.
Review the booking details
The client reviews the selected service or space, date, time and price, then provides their contact details. Clear descriptions help them arrive knowing what they have booked and which location to visit.
Complete the booking and payment
When online payments are enabled, collect the deposit or full amount required by your booking settings. Your team can also handle payment from the calendar, including a payment link for a client who is arranging the visit with you.
Plan a smooth handover between studio hires
Review the booked studio and hire length for each group. Use the schedule to arrange your own checks of the floor, sound equipment and access.
Use client history when a teacher returns to book another session. Keep their class enrolment and participant payments separate from the studio reservation.

Make every space easier to manage
See rehearsals and workshops together
Review the booked start and finish times for each studio. Knowing who is using the room next helps your team organise handovers between rehearsals and longer workshops.
View feature: See rehearsals and workshops togetherLet hirers choose their studio time
Customers browse the spaces, choose how long they need the floor and select an available start time. Share a single booking page instead of exchanging messages about each possible slot.
View feature: Let hirers choose their studio timeKeep multiple studios easy to find
Manage rooms under the appropriate branch and set opening hours by location. Keep studio names and details distinct so instructors know where they are booking.
View feature: Keep multiple studios easy to findGive clients a convenient way to pay
Bring payment into the same workflow as the booking. Choose how you collect money for your services or space hire, and explain the payment arrangements before the client commits.
Deposits and online checkout
Let clients pay a deposit or the full booking amount through your online booking portal. State what the payment covers so clients understand the amount they are paying before their visit.
Card payments at reception
Use a supported Stripe Terminal smart reader to collect an in-person card payment for a booking. Reader availability depends on your country and Stripe setup; see the device guide before buying hardware.
QR codes, SMS and email links
Show a payment QR code for the client to scan, or send the payment link by SMS or email. The client opens checkout on their own device, making it useful both at reception and when arranging payment before arrival.
Set up a booking page that reflects your business
Start with the bookings you handle most often. A clear menu and realistic availability help clients make the right choice and give your team a consistent place to manage requests.
- Describe flooring, mirrors and included audio equipment.
- Set hourly pricing and minimum and maximum session lengths.
- Explain footwear rules, access and end-of-hire expectations.
Review and share your booking page
Review the client-facing names, descriptions, location, available times and payment settings. Share the booking link from your website and customer communications, and keep the details up to date as your offering changes.
Space booking questions, answered
Is this for hiring a studio or booking a place in a class?
This page is for reserving the studio itself. A dancer, instructor or organiser books the room for a period of time; registration for individual places in a class is a separate workflow.
Can a workshop be longer than a practice booking?
Yes. Customers choose a duration within the room’s minimum and maximum limits. The room’s rate determines the price for the reserved period.
Does this page cover studio hire or dance class enrolment?
It covers reserving the studio for an instructor, performer or group. Participant enrolment, class capacity and teaching programmes are separate from that room booking.
Can I describe several different studios?
Yes. Give each independently bookable studio its own description, price and booking limits so customers can choose the right space.
Can customers book without calling reception?
Yes. Share your room booking page so customers can select a space, choose a duration within its limits and find an available start time. Write clear room descriptions and arrival information so customers know what the hire includes.
How can I collect payment for a room reservation?
Configure online booking payments to collect a deposit or full amount where offered. Staff can also collect booking payments through the calendar using payment links, a QR checkout page or a supported Stripe Terminal reader. State the hire conditions and what the payment includes before the customer books.
