Jackrabbit Dance
Dance studio management software for classes, tuition billing, recitals, and families
About Jackrabbit Dance
Jackrabbit Dance is the dance studio edition of Jackrabbit Class, built for studio owners who manage tuition-based class enrollment. It combines online registration, family accounts, automated tuition billing through Jackrabbit Pay, a parent portal, staff attendance tools, and costume and recital planning. Pricing scales with the studio's total student count, starting at $49 per month with no contracts or setup fees.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Dance-specific recital and costume tools, including auto-sizing from vendor charts, costume fee collection, and a lineup assistant that accounts for quick changes
- Family accounts, automated tuition posting, and recurring auto-drafts cut down on chasing payments
- Parent Portal lets families enroll, pay, book makeups, and report absences without calling the front desk
- Customer support is the most praised aspect in reviews (4.6/5 from 740+ Capterra reviews)
- No contracts or setup fees on the standard plan, and free data imports when switching
- Mature platform from a company that has served class-based businesses since 2004
Cons
- Monthly fee counts inactive students as well as active ones, so cost can creep up unless old records are cleaned out
- Reviewers cite payment processing fees as a recurring cost complaint
- Large feature set and dated interface can feel overwhelming to new staff
- Only starting prices are published; the full student-count tier table requires a sales conversation
- The branded mobile app costs extra through the Jackrabbit Plus upgrade
Key Features
Costume and recital management
Printable costume measurement worksheets, auto-sizing from a vendor's girth chart, costume fee deposits and payments, a recital lineup assistant that leaves dancers time to change between routines, an AI-powered Recital Order Generator, and export of the show order to Microsoft Word for the program book.
Online registration and class listings
Embed live class listings on the studio website showing real-time openings and waitlists, and let families enroll in classes, sessions, and events through a customizable online registration form that captures student, contact, payment, and policy details.
Family accounts and automated tuition billing
Family-level accounts tie siblings, balances, and payments together. Tuition posting is automated, with recurring auto-drafts, discounts, prorating, declined-payment notifications, and optional credit card surcharges through the built-in Jackrabbit Pay processor.
Parent Portal
A self-service hub where families view account details and balances, enroll in classes and events, read studio messages, schedule makeups and future absences, and follow skill progress that instructors update in class.
Communication and Zippy AI emails
Email the exact families returned by any report or search, and draft messages faster with Zippy AI, Jackrabbit's AI email-writing assistant.
Policies per class, session, or level
Create policy agreements specific to classes, sessions, levels, or programs so parents only sign the policies that apply to their dancer's enrollment.
Staff Portal attendance and makeups
Instructors take attendance on any device through the Staff Portal, and families can self-book makeup classes within limits the studio sets.
Activity calendar, appointments, and private lessons
A dynamic calendar for classes, events, and appointments that prevents double-booking rooms and instructors, plus booking for solo, duet, and trio practice lessons based on room or staff availability.
Enrollment and financial reporting
Built-in enrollment, revenue, and attendance reports, with a Business Intelligence Dashboard on the Enterprise plan.
Integrations, Zapier, and API
An integration marketplace, Zapier connections for workflow automation, and the Jackrabbit Class API for connecting other systems.
Branded mobile app (Jackrabbit Plus)
An optional custom-branded iOS and Android app for the studio, with an app management dashboard.

Multi-child family billing
Keep siblings in one family account with combined balances, discounts, and prorated tuition, and send declined-payment notices automatically.
Front-desk workload reduction
