For adult-led boutique dance studios — contemporary, ballet for adults, hip-hop, jazz, fusion, dance fitness. Term blocks, level-tagged classes, drop-ins and memberships in one calendar. Your own Stripe. From $39 a month.
Not the right fit for children's dance schools with recital management — Jackrabbit Dance and DanceStudio-Pro are purpose-built for that shape.
Adult dance studio software handles class scheduling, term-based progressions (Beginner I through Advanced), level-tagged drop-ins, class packs and memberships, intake forms (injury history, dance background, fitness flags), instructor scheduling, recurring payments and client communications.
Junocal is class-first, scoped intentionally to adult-led boutique studios. Term-based courses, level tags, packs and memberships, hybrid in-person + online — all bundled from $39/month. Children's dance schools with recital management, costume tracking and multi-child family billing are a different shape; Jackrabbit Dance and DanceStudio-Pro fit there.
Junocal's dance customers run contemporary, ballet for adults, jazz, hip-hop, fusion and dance fitness programming for adult dancers — class-based progressions rather than recital-led children's programming. The operational shape is similar to adult pilates, yoga and barre studios: weekly class blocks, level-tagged drop-ins, term-based progressions for beginner cohorts, memberships for regulars.
If your dance studio runs children's programming with recital management, costume tracking, multi-child family enrollment and choreography rotation, Jackrabbit Dance and DanceStudio-Pro are purpose-built for that shape. We don't try to force-fit — they're the right tool for that customer.
Adult-led studios that fit Junocal's scope often run mixed programming: a regular adult ballet schedule alongside drop-in jazz classes and an 8-week beginner contemporary block. The term-based courses primitive handles the progressions, the level-tagged drop-in calendar handles the rest.
Beginner I, Beginner II, Intermediate, Advanced — each as a term-based course with fixed weekly slot, total session count, single-payment price, makeup credits and a refund policy. Published once, Junocal generates the per-session instances automatically.
Tag each class with skill level (open, beginner, intermediate, advanced). Clients filter the schedule by level on the booking page. Useful for studios that run mixed-format programming where the same time slot might be a beginner class one week and intermediate the next.
Single class drop-ins, multi-class packs (5-pack, 10-pack) and rolling memberships all sit on the same calendar with the same payment plumbing. Member-plus-pack crossover supported. Self-serve member pause from the client's own account.
Set 15 spots in the studio and 30 spots online. Separate "Book in-person" and "Book online" buttons with their own counts. Online attendees get the meeting URL in the confirmation and the 24-hour reminder. Useful for contemporary, jazz and fusion programming where online attendance is real.
Stripe Connect Standard direct. Your Stripe account, Stripe's published rates, no markup. ACH and Bacs Direct Debit at the standard rate — meaningful savings on the $100-$200 memberships adult dance studios commonly sell.
24-hour class reminders, welcome emails 24 hours after sign-up, win-back at 21 days dormant, renewal nudges 7 days before period end, failed-payment recovery with Stripe hosted-invoice link. Bundled, not an add-on.

For adult-led boutique dance studios (contemporary, ballet for adults, hip-hop, jazz, fusion, dance fitness), Junocal offers term-based programming, level-tagged classes, drop-ins and memberships, hybrid in-person + online, and recurring payments through your own Stripe — from $39/month, no annual contract. For children's dance schools with recital management and family-billing needs, Jackrabbit Dance and DanceStudio-Pro are purpose-built and the better fit.
Junocal supports term-based courses with level tags as a first-class entity — useful for beginner-through-advanced progressions (Beginner I, Beginner II, Intermediate, Advanced) and dance teacher training cohorts. Each term has fixed weekly slot, total session count, single-payment price, makeup credits and a refund policy. Drop-ins and rolling memberships sit on the same calendar alongside the term-based programming.
With Junocal, yes. Dance studios connect their own Stripe Connect account during onboarding and accept payments at Stripe's published rates direct. ACH (US) and Bacs Direct Debit (UK) at the standard rate for memberships. Junocal never holds funds or marks up processing — disputes route directly to Stripe.
Boutique adult-led dance studio software ranges from $39/month (Junocal Starter) to several hundred dollars per month for enterprise platforms. Most boutique adult-led studios spend $39-$199/month on Junocal. Children's-dance-school-focused platforms (Jackrabbit Dance, DanceStudio-Pro, Akada) price separately — typically $40-$200/month depending on family count and recital features.
Different markets. Jackrabbit Dance is purpose-built for children's dance schools that need recital management, costume tracking, multi-child family billing and choreography rotation. Junocal is purpose-built for adult-led boutique dance studios that run class-based progressions without the children's-dance-school operational shape. We'd rather scope clearly than try to be everything to everyone.
14 days free, no card. Term blocks for progressions. Drop-ins, packs and memberships in one calendar. Migration done for you in five business days.
