Ida OS on a Monday night, shown with a sample studio: Brightside Dance Studio.
Parents see the week, book the open slot and mark when they can’t make a class, without a text message, a PDF or you adding them by hand.
“I was handmaking PDF schedules every month. It was terrible. Now parents book the open slots themselves — I haven’t sent a schedule in months.”
Tuition, a competition entry, a workshop and a costume rental all live in one place. A failed card retries on its own, and cash and card sit on the same ledger.

Your side of the same family
“This looks fantastic and is super user-friendly!”
Ida didn’t come out of a boardroom. It came out of Gott-Hughton Irish Dance. Every tool we found got us partly there, so we built our own, and we shape it to how your studio runs.
“Ida has gone above and beyond to customize the system to fit the specific way our studio is structured, rather than expecting us to change our processes to fit the software.”
Live Dance Create tried three studio software programs before this. Ida was the fourth. Records move in one paste; the card cutover is the part we walk with you.
“4th time's a charm... ask and you shall receive! I had the pleasure of meeting the Ida OS team, and they helped me design and manifest my dream dance studio software. Nothing cookie cutter, and customizable to pretty much all of my needs. I LOVE my App now, and am very proud of my decision to switch to Ida OS!”
Kiva HollywoodOwner, Live Dance CreateSwitching, setup, your families and your data. Money questions live on Pricing.
Most studios we work with are coming from exactly that. Paste or upload your roster and Ida OS imports your families and dancers in one step. Then you invite everyone to their portal at once, and we help set up your plans and your week during onboarding.
The records aren’t. Paste or upload the roster, invite families to the portal, and we help with plans and the week. The cutover people worry about is cards, and that’s what a demo is for. How switching works.
No. Everything is point-and-click: set up your studio, plans and branding from your settings, with live previews. If you can use email and a calendar, you can run Ida OS.
Parents sign in with a one-tap email code or a password to a simple portal that shows just their schedule, balance and documents. They can also ask Ida plain-language questions instead of hunting through menus.
Most studios are operational the same week. You can start on a 14-day free trial with no card, import your roster and have families in their portals quickly. We help with the initial setup.
Yes. Invite each teacher to their own staff login and they get a scoped view: the schedule, family and student rosters, attendance and documents, but never your revenue, the payments ledger, tuition or studio settings. And if an instructor is also a dancer at your studio, the same login can book classes and practices for themselves too.
Your families, payments and records are yours. Everything is exportable, and you can cancel anytime. No lock-in, nothing held hostage.
Branded as your studio and built for how independents actually run.
You’ll meet the people who built it, not a sales rep.
