Where registration gets hard
The first of the month is collection day
Reminders go out and declined cards get rerun. Then someone works out what a family owes after their dancer added a second class.
Costume season starts in January
Sizes come back on paper and costume fees are due before the order goes in. A few families are always late.
The right dancer in the right class
A beginner ends up in the advanced class, or a nine-year-old in the teen class, and the first week of the season turns into a reshuffle.
How BackPR helps
How it works in BackPR
Classes by age, level and day
Publish your schedule by age, level and day. Skill-level prerequisites or a placement form keep each dancer in the right class, and full classes offer a waitlist spot.
Monthly tuition on autopay
Bill tuition monthly or by season on the saved card, with multi-class and sibling discounts, proration for mid-year starts and automatic retries when a card is declined.
Costumes and recital fees
Collect costume sizes at registration and export a size list for each class. Add costume and recital fees as their own charges, paid in full or in installments.
Trial classes and make-ups
New families try a class before they enroll, and dancers who miss a class make it up in an open spot.

FAQ
Questions, answered
How much does dance studio software cost?
Prices vary by platform. BackPR is free for dance programs that are registered nonprofits, with no subscription and no BackPR fees. For-profit studios get pricing by quote. Card payments run on Stripe at Stripe's standard rates, and BackPR never adds its own fee to what families pay.
What happens to tuition when a dancer adds a class?
Enroll the dancer in the new class and its tuition joins the monthly bill on autopay. Multi-class discounts apply automatically, and proration covers a partial first month if you use it.
Can we collect costume sizes and fees at registration?
Yes. Add size questions to each class, export the size list for your costume order and charge the costume fee at registration or later.
