Parent Inquiry

"Hi, my daughter wants to start ballet. Do you have beginner classes for 8-year-olds?"

AI Receptionist

"Yes! We have Beginner Ballet on Tuesdays at 4:30 PM—$120/month. Would you like to schedule a free trial class?"

✓ Trial Class Booked • Tuesday 4:30 PM

The Problem

DANCE STUDIOS
LOSE STUDENTS EVERY DAY

You're losing enrollments while you're teaching. Parents call during class time, trial lesson requests go to voicemail, and your front desk can't keep up. There's a better way.

You Miss Calls While Teaching

A parent finds your studio online at 9 PM, calls to ask about ballet classes for their daughter, and gets voicemail. By the time you call back in the morning, they've already enrolled at the studio down the street that answered.

The Cost
$1,200/year
Lost per missed student

Your Front Desk Is Overwhelmed

While you're teaching hip-hop, three calls come in. Trial lesson requests, recital costume questions, schedule changes—you can't answer your phone during class. Parents get frustrated waiting, and you lose enrollments to studios that pick up.

The Cost
40+ calls/day
Per dance studio owner

Trial Lessons No-Show and You Lose Them Forever

You block off class time, prep the studio, and wait. They don't show. You send one follow-up text that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no enrollment, just wasted time and another empty spot in your class.
