For dance studios
Houston

AI admin for dance studios in Houston — the eight hours of office work a dance principal loses to recital season, costume deposits, and the “did my trial family ever come back?” list, automated.

My Studio Helper sits beside Jackrabbit Dance and DanceStudio-Pro and does the admin work a Houstondance studio principal cannot afford to staff at recital time: re-engaging stalled trial families, filling thinly enrolled recital classes, and chasing costume deposits, recital fees, and monthly tuition at the studio's cadence. The suite of record stays — My Studio Helper does the work on top of it.

Why Houston dance schools lose families mid-term

Three places a Houston dance principal loses the term.

Recital season, costume deposit week, and the gap between a Saturday drop-in and a Tuesday 3:15 Beginner Ballet — each one of these is where the studio quietly loses a family. My Studio Helper is built around the three.

Recital attendance dips mid-term

Once the December recital lands, the Tuesday 3:15 Beginner Ballet tends to shrink. Trial families that came in for the show never made it to a recurring enrolment — and empty chairs in the spring recital build hurt every costume order.

Costume deposits before the due date

The studio needs costume deposits collected by a hard date so the costume order goes in on time. Chasing 40 parents three weeks before the deadline is the worst week of the principal’s year — and the one that always falls during recital tech week.

Recurring vs drop-in scheduling confusion

A Saturday drop-in is not the same commitment as Tuesday 3:15 Beginner Ballet, and parents don’t always know which one they signed up for. My Studio Helper keeps the scheduling source-of-record clear and nudges drop-ins toward a recurring enrolment at the right moment.

How My Studio Helper fits a Houstondance school's term

Three motion names, mapped to a Houstondance school's calendar.

My Studio Helper runs three motions at the studio's cadence. Each one maps to a moment a Houston dance principal already knows the cost of.

Trial-nudges that read like the front desk

When a trial family goes quiet after recital season, My Studio Helper writes a personal nudge at the right moment to convert to a recurring enrolment — the email an admin would have sent if she had the hour.

Rebook thin classes across the recital build

When a 3:15 Beginner Ballet drops to six dancers, My Studio Helper rebooks on-hold or senior students who fit the slot across the spring recital build — so rosters stay full and the costume order lines up.

Costume deposits, recital fees, monthly tuition

My Studio Helper drafts the payment reminder at the studio’s cadence — costume deposits, recital fees, monthly tuition — and escalates to a real human above the threshold the principal sets.

The Houston dance studio calendar

What My Studio Helper does, by term.

One sentence per moment. The studio's pace — not the AI's.

  1. Sep

    Open enrollment

    Trial families come in for the first class. My Studio Helper nudges the ones who go quiet — to a recurring slot, not just a one-off.

  2. Oct

    Costume deposits

    Deposits are due on a hard date so the costume order can go in. My Studio Helper drafts the reminder at the studio’s cadence and escalates above the threshold the principal sets.

  3. Nov–Feb

    Recital build

    Recital classes start to thin after the winter break. My Studio Helper rebooks on-hold and senior students into the recital build so rosters stay full.

  4. Mar

    Costume fittings

    Final costume adjustments and the recital run-through. My Studio Helper stops non-essential nudges so the studio isn’t interrupted mid-fitting.

  5. Apr

    Recital week

    The principal is in the venue. My Studio Helper holds reminders and scheduled sends; only escalations that crossed a threshold reach the principal.

  6. May–Aug

    Summer break

    Recurring families rebook summer intensives and the fall term. My Studio Helper drafts the summer-program nudges at a quieter cadence — the studio’s, not a metronome’s.
