How to make an app for a dance academy

A dance academy has regular batches all year, then a rush before the annual show: who is in which item, costume sizes, extra rehearsals. Wedding season adds sangeet bookings with their own rehearsals. An app keeps batches, fees, show items and sangeet dates in one place.

Who uses the app

The owner and the choreographers. If choreographers mark attendance on their own phones, or parents log in to see show rehearsals and fees, connect your own Supabase database.

The screens a dance academy app needs

Batches: Each batch with style, age group, days, time, choreographer and students
Attendance: Tick who came today; students who have missed many classes before the show
Fees: Monthly fees and costume charges, paid and due, with receipts as PDFs
Show items: Each dance item for the annual show with its students, song and rehearsal days
Costumes: Each student's size and costume for their item, ordered, received and paid
Sangeet bookings: Family name, wedding date, songs, rehearsal dates, package amount and advance paid

Features worth asking for

Show items with student lists and extra rehearsal days
Costume sizes and charges per student, with a list of what is still unpaid
Sangeet bookings with rehearsal dates in a calendar
A WhatsApp button to send rehearsal times to parents or a family
Fees by batch, with a sibling discount if you give one
Attendance shortfall before the show, so you can talk to parents early

Where the data lives

If only you use the app, data can stay on your phone. For choreographers on their own phones or parent logins, connect your own Supabase database; to take fees or sangeet advances online, connect your Razorpay account as well.

Copy this request, change the details to match your dance academy, and paste it into AppCub:

Make an app for my dance academy, Thirak Dance Academy in Ahmedabad. Screens: batches, attendance, fees, show items, costumes and sangeet bookings. Batches have a style, age group, days and choreographer. Monthly fee ₹1,800, 10% off for a second child. For the annual show, each item has a song, students and rehearsal days; each student has a costume size and charge. Sangeet bookings have the family, wedding date, songs, rehearsal dates, package and advance. WhatsApp buttons to send rehearsal times. Purple and gold colours.

Tips for a dance academy app

Set up the show items as soon as you decide the songs; costume sizes and rehearsals follow from them.
Take costume sizes once, at the start of show season, and save them on each student.
Keep sangeet bookings separate from regular students; families pay per package, not per month.
Use children's photos in the app only with their parents' consent.
Start with batches and fees, and add show screens a month before the show.

Good to know

AppCub apps don't stream classes, edit dance videos or send messages by themselves. Rehearsal times and reminders go out when someone taps the WhatsApp button.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can the dance academy app manage the annual show?

Yes. Ask for show items with students, songs and rehearsal days, and a costume list with sizes and charges for each student.

Can the app track sangeet choreography bookings?

Yes. Each booking keeps the family, wedding date, songs, rehearsal dates, package amount and advance paid.

Can parents see rehearsal times in the app?

Yes, with your own Supabase database and parent sign-in. Otherwise a WhatsApp button sends the times in a ready message.

Can the app give a sibling discount on fees?

Yes. Tell AppCub the rule, such as 10% off for the second child, and the fees screen applies it.

Can I share dance videos with students through the app?

The app doesn't host or stream videos. Share them on WhatsApp or your video channel.

Can families pay the sangeet advance online?

Yes, with your own Razorpay account connected along with Supabase. The money goes to your account, not AppCub.
