General-purpose wellness platforms serve yoga studios, gyms, and spas alongside dance — so dance-specific features like recital ticketing and costume tracking never make the roadmap. StudioFlare is built exclusively for dance and performing arts.
"We were paying enterprise-level prices for a platform that treated dance like an afterthought. StudioFlare is half the cost and has features we didn't even know we needed — like built-in livestreaming and parent chat."CW Christine W. — Owner, Momentum Dance Company
Enterprise wellness platforms often require custom quotes, annual contracts, and transaction fees on top of monthly subscriptions. StudioFlare publishes its pricing openly and charges month-to-month.

Our old platform was clearly designed for fitness studios. The dance-specific things we needed — recital management, costume tracking, per-class attendance — were always workarounds. StudioFlare just works.
We were paying a transaction fee on every payment on top of the monthly subscription. StudioFlare has no transaction fees. For a studio our size, that adds up to hundreds of dollars a month.
