Does your dance studio currently offer one-to-one dance lessons?
If so, how are they going for you? If not, what’s holding you back?
Picture this: you’ve got a dancer, we’ll call him Billy. Billy has raw talent. He has an ear for rhythm, but he struggles with confidence. This lack of confidence affects how he remembers choreography and performs overall.
After offering Billy and his parents a few weeks of one-to-one lessons with the undivided attention of his dance teacher, his confidence and performance improved tenfold.
Not only was Billy able to move at his own pace, but he also avoided feeling left behind when others picked things up more quickly. In these private sessions, Billy didn’t just learn choreography, he picked up tips and tricks to help him remember steps and tie everything together into a polished performance.
Now? Billy has a solo in the school’s upcoming ballet.

In Billy’s case, the one-to-one dance lessons made a real difference, so much so that he secured a solo in the upcoming performance.
It’s no secret that students thrive when they receive personalized attention from a teacher. But beyond just learning the steps, Billy’s confidence grew. So much so that, once the private lessons ended, he was able to keep up with the rest of the class and truly flourish as a male ballet dancer.
There were also meaningful benefits for both Billy and his parents:
The student felt seen. His challenges were acknowledged, and a plan was created to support his growth.
The teacher could tailor the approach. With no distractions, the lesson could adapt to Billy’s pace and learning style.
The parents felt reassured. They saw their child being nurtured, supported and genuinely cared for within the dance school environment.

Benefits For The Dance Studio
Not only do students benefit from private dance lessons, but the studio does too:
Additional revenue: Private lessons are usually charged at a higher rate than regular group classes, bringing in extra income for your studio.
Increased loyalty: Parents, like Billy’s, who are offered private tuition, feel supported and valued. This builds trust and can prevent them from moving to another studio if they feel their child isn’t progressing or enjoying classes.
Organic growth: When other parents see the clear benefits, like Billy landing a solo in the ballet show, they'll naturally start asking about private lessons for their children.

You’re Offering One-to-One Lessons: What Are The Logistics?
So, you've decided to offer one-to-one dance lessons - great choice! Now it’s time to think through the practicalities. Here are the key questions to consider:
Pricing structure: How much will you charge? Will prices vary depending on the teacher or lesson length?
Who are they for? Will these lessons be open to everyone on a first-come, first-served basis, or will they be offered only to selected students at the teacher’s discretion?
Where will they be held? Will they take place in your existing studio space, or will you need to hire an additional venue?
When will they be scheduled? One-to-one sessions will need to be booked outside of your usual class times. How will this fit with the teacher's availability?
How can people book? Will bookings be handled manually, or do you need a streamlined system in place?

Software Tools Can Help
When it comes to managing the logistics of private lessons, intuitive and easy-to-use tools like Class Manager can be game changers.
Here’s how software like this can support your studio:
You can schedule a set number of private lesson slots each week that work around your existing class timetable (which is easy to view and manage within the system).
Choose how lessons are booked:
Open booking: Families can book available slots themselves. Once a session is taken, it's removed from the schedule automatically.
Teacher-assigned: Only teachers can book these sessions, allowing them to offer lessons to specific students based on progress or need.
Payments and billing are seamless. When lessons are booked through Class Manager, invoices are automatically updated to reflect any additional fees. Charges are then processed using the saved billing information on file, with no need for manual invoicing or chasing payments.
