Five children’s classes of six, a wedding couple learning their first dance, ballroom privates, four rooms and a winter showcase. This page follows one week of Maple Street Dance Studio in Reservety: the classes made once, parents registering and paying the month, a teacher’s day off covered, Studio B rented to a choreographer for a Tuesday evening, attendance and cash on the teacher’s phone, the family that has not paid October, and tickets for the showcase.
A dance studio’s week is the same every week until it isn’t: the same classes at the same hours, a teacher who is off on Thursday, a room someone wants to rent, a new child on Wednesday, parents who need to know when and where, tuition due on the first, and in December, the showcase.
Reservety keeps that week on one screen, Trainer week. A class is a group with six places that repeats every week, with a teacher and a room. A couple learning their wedding dance is the same thing with two places. Each child has a wallet: the family pays the month on the 1st, by card, cash or bank, and every class the child attends is taken from it at the studio’s hourly rate. Teachers have an app on their phone with their week and the class list.
The studio here is Maple Street Dance Studio in Raleigh, North Carolina, on a test copy of a Reservety site, during the week of October 12, 2026. The first class was made on the screen exactly as shown; the other four classes, the families and their payments since September were seeded through the same code the screens use. Classes and studios are on Reservety’s Professional plan, $99 a month.
Who does what, in one table.
The owner builds the term once. After that the week runs itself: classes repeat, teachers see their own hours, parents get the schedule and a reminder, and each child’s wallet keeps the score.
| A class | 6 places, weekly, a teacher, a room |
| A wedding couple | a class with 2 places, $45 an hour each |
| A ballroom or couple lesson | a booking for a teacher’s hour, online or by phone |
| What a class costs a family | $18 an hour from the child’s wallet |
| How families pay | the month on the 1st, card, cash or bank |
| What a teacher is paid | $30 per class taught |
| The showcase | an event with child and adult tickets |
| Studio B | held by the classes; rented by the hour when free |
Ten steps, done once at the start of the term. The first class is made on the screen from nothing; the rest is the same form again.
Three lists set up before the classes. Staff: the owner, Sarah Mitchell, who teaches ballroom and the couples, and two teachers, Daniel Cruz (hip-hop) and Emily Chen (ballet and contemporary). Resources: Studio A, Studio B, Studio C and the Main Studio, one place each. Services: what anyone can book by the hour, a private lesson at $85 and a couple lesson at $110.
Trainer week shows seven days. On Hours the rows are the hours of the day; any free hour can become a class.
A click on Monday’s column at 4 pm opens New session with the hour already set, for that day only and with no teacher yet. A new class starts with + New class.
Ballet 4–6, six places. A place is a child: the seventh parent who asks is told the class is full.
Every week, Monday and Wednesday, teacher Emily Chen. One form makes the whole term: every Monday and Wednesday at 4 pm until the term ends or you cancel the class.
The new session opens. Under Resource, type “Studio”: every room shows whether it is free at that hour. Studio A is free on Monday at 4 pm; one click and it is held for the class.
Why it matters. A room attached to a class is blocked for that hour. When Studio B is rented by the hour (part 07), the hours the classes use are simply not offered.
Type a name nobody has yet and Reservety offers to add a new person. A name is enough; the parent’s phone is what reminders and receipts go to. Olivia Brooks, Sophia Reed, Ella Morgan: three of the six places.
Done asks once, not once per child: only this Monday, every Monday, or every session of the class. All upcoming sessions puts the room and the three children on every Monday and Wednesday of the term.
Ballet 7–9 on Tuesday and Thursday with Emily, Hip-Hop 8–11 and Hip-Hop 12–15 with Daniel at 5 pm in Studio B, and Contemporary 12–16 with Emily in the Main Studio on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 6 to 7:30 pm. That is the studio.
Megan and Josh Shaw are learning their first dance with Sarah every Wednesday at 7 pm until the wedding. It is made the same way: a new class, two places, every Wednesday, Sarah, Studio A. Both are added on the same phone; the class has its own rate, $45 an hour each.
Six steps on the week ahead: who covers, where a class goes when its room is rented, who is new, the couple lessons, the schedule.
Everything is on one screen: the classes by day and time, the private and couple lessons as bookings, and in red what needs you. This week: Thursday at 4 pm has no teacher, because Emily is off that day. Robert Hayes has his ballroom private with Sarah on Monday at 7:30.
Open the Thursday card. The teacher list says who is free and who is not: Emily is Busy, Day off. Pick Sarah, then answer Only Thu, Oct 15. Next Thursday is Emily’s again.
A choreographer wants Studio B on Tuesday from 5 to 7 pm for an audition. Open Tuesday’s 5 pm card, remove Studio B, add Studio C, and answer Only Tue, Oct 13. Studio B is free for that evening and can be rented (part 07); Thursday stays in Studio B.
Harper Diaz joins Ballet 4–6. Open Wednesday’s card, type her name and her parent’s phone, Done, All upcoming sessions. Six of six: the class is full from Wednesday.
The studio’s page has a booking box for couple lessons: a day, a free hour, a name and a phone, no account and no app. Chris and Dana Avery ask for Friday at 7 pm. The request lands in your app; Confirm, and they get a text.
Rescheduling. Send rescheduling link texts the couple a page where they move the lesson themselves, up to four hours before.
Send the schedule previews who gets what: 12 classes, 28 families, 3 teachers. Each family gets only its own child’s classes; each teacher gets their classes with the names of the children.
What reaches a family during the week, and what they can do without calling the studio.
The Brooks family gets Olivia’s week: Monday and Wednesday at 4 pm, Studio A, with Emily. Daniel gets his: four hip-hop classes, Tuesday in Studio C, with the children’s names.
Twenty-four hours before a class the parent gets a text. Lucas’s parent answers that he has a fever. Sarah takes him off Tuesday’s list in Trainer week: a class a child does not attend is not charged.
Text and e-mail. Reminders go by text and by e-mail; the hours before are a setting (24 here, 3 for the teachers). The weekly schedule goes by e-mail. A parent who never gave an e-mail address still gets the reminder and the receipt by text.
Logged in, a parent sees the child’s balance with the two monthly payments and every class behind it, and the classes ahead. Cancel works until four hours before; after that the place stays booked.
Each class has a page reached by its link (it is not listed in the shop). A parent sees the places left class by class and books a trial. Ballet 4–6 has one place left on Monday; from Wednesday it is full, because Harper took the sixth place.
One class at a time. Online, a parent books one class at a time. Registering a child for the whole term is done by you or a teacher, as in step 7.
The teacher’s side, on his phone. He sees his own week and his classes; he cannot see prices, other teachers’ weeks, or the shop.
Daniel installs the app from a link. My week shows Tuesday at 5 pm in Studio C; My day lists Monday.
The class list shows the children coming, each with their balance. One tap each: present, and the class is charged. Lucas is shown as cancelled and is not charged.
On Maya’s row, Take payment: $162, the date, cash. Her balance goes from $72 owing to $90 in credit, and her parent gets a receipt by text. The $162 is now money Daniel holds for the studio; it comes off what the studio owes him (step 26).
A tap on the balance opens Maya’s ledger: September’s and October’s payments, when and to whom, and every class with its length and rate. This is what you show a parent who asks why they owe.
Two screens: the families, and the teachers.
Class Money for the week: $162 collected, $54 owed to the studio, $2,250 held in credit. The Hills have not paid October: Jayden’s line says how much, when they last paid and to whom.
You make the call. There is no button that texts a family about a balance, and tuition is not charged to a card automatically; you call or text them yourself. The receipt they get after paying is automatic.
Each class Daniel taught is a line at $30. The $162 he took from Maya’s mom is a line of −$162. Pay him the total, or ask for the difference, and record it.
One evening in December, sold online with a child price and an adult price that share the same seats.
The Winter Showcase is on Saturday, December 12 at 6 pm at the Oak Hall Theater: 120 seats, $8 a child and $15 an adult. Families buy from the studio’s page; five families have already bought 20 tickets.
Not tied to the classes. Anyone with the link can buy tickets; they are not limited to the families of enrolled children.
“How do I book a dance studio?” The rooms the classes use are rented by the hour when they are free.
Studio B is a product in the studio’s shop: $40 an hour, $50 on weekday evenings from 5 pm and at weekends, one to three hours, paid in full online. The choreographer books Tuesday from 5 to 7 pm, the evening Hip-Hop 12–15 moved out: $100.
Studio B’s list of start times on Monday skips 5 pm: Hip-Hop 8–11 holds the room then. Nobody keeps two calendars; the class is the block.
So nobody is surprised after the first month.
Built on a test copy of a Reservety site set up as Maple Street Dance Studio, Raleigh, North Carolina, for the week of October 12, 2026. The studio, its teachers, the families, their phone numbers (555-01xx) and e-mail addresses (example.com) are invented; no card was charged and no message was sent. Every admin and app screen is the real system. Drawn for the guide: the text-message and mail frames around the system’s real texts and e-mails, the parents’ replies, and the studio’s couple-lessons page around the real booking widget.
