KADEPAY FOR DANCE STUDIOS
From the first plie in September to the final bow in June, a dance year comes with a lot of bills. KadePay collects monthly tuition, costume deposits, competition fees and tickets for the spring show, keeps registration forms signed, and gives every family one place to see what they owe.
Pay-As-You-Go starts at $0 per month. Usage and payment fees apply.
Sound familiar?
Studio owners spend August building the schedule and the rest of the year collecting for it. These are the tuition, costume and recital moments that wear down the front desk, and how KadePay handles each one.
It is the 12th, the late fee kicked in two days ago, and you are still texting six families who meant to pay on the 1st.
With KadePay
On Team or Pro, bill tuition as a recurring charge to the method each parent authorized, on the date in your policy. Parents get a notice with each charge, and the reminder texts can stop.
Recurring billingEvery dancer has three costumes, a deposit in October and a balance in January, and the spreadsheet tracking it all has its own spreadsheet.
With KadePay
Send costume fees as bills with a photo of each costume attached, or split them into a payment plan the parent agrees to. Each payment lands on the family's profile, with the dancer's sizes in your notes.
Ways to get paidGrandparents line up at the theater door with cash while a volunteer tries to make change and keep count at the same time.
With KadePay
Sell recital tickets through a link families can share, and scan each QR ticket at the door. Tickets are general admission, and you set your own sales cutoff for the theater.
Payment links and QR codesComp families owe choreography, convention and travel fees on different dates, and somebody always says they never got the bill.
With KadePay
Put competition team fees on a payment plan with the installments and dates you agree up front. Each installment is collected from the parent's eligible saved method, with a receipt every time.
Payment plansFall registration means forty clipboards, photo releases nobody can read and emergency contacts that went out of date last spring.
With KadePay
Send a dance registration form with your studio policies, photo release and tuition agreement. Parents complete and sign it on their own phone, and it stays on their profile all season.
Forms and signaturesHow it fits your week
Post a Flex Link on your website and social pages that leads to the registration form, studio policies and registration fee, so a family can sign up from the pickup line.
Parents authorize a payment method once. On Team or Pro, monthly tuition is billed on the 1st, and each family is notified when it is charged.
Costume deposits go out with photos attached, and competition team fees run on payment plans, so the big amounts arrive in steady pieces instead of one painful lump.
Dancers request private dance lessons or solo coaching through your booking link. You confirm the time, and automatic reminders go out before each lesson.
Families buy tickets from a shared link, and volunteers scan QR codes at the door. Flowers and photo packages can sell through a printed counter QR code in the lobby.
Every way your families pay
Availability depends on your account setup and eligibility. You confirm Venmo and Zelle payments after checking they arrived.
Built in
Each tool writes to the same family record, from the first booking request to the receipt.
KadePay for dance studios
Ask owners how to collect tuition for a dance studio and most give the same answer: get one authorization from the parent at registration, then bill on a fixed date. KadePay supports that pattern with recurring bills on Team or Pro, plus reminders on any one-off bill that is still open.
Tuition is only part of the year. Costume fees, competition team fees, convention travel and recital tickets all arrive on different schedules. Full dance studio software suites also cover class rosters and skill levels; KadePay focuses on the payments around them, with dance studio payment plans for the larger amounts.
Families notice the difference too. When you collect dance tuition through KadePay, parents see every bill, signed form and private lesson on your branded business page, and can pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or bank transfer, or send a Zelle payment that you record.
Setting up the season is quicker with Kady, the KadePay assistant, which drafts payment links, packages and forms for you to review and save. KadePay does not take attendance, build recital lineups or assign theater seats, so the creative side of the studio stays with you.
CLEAR ANSWERS
Look for one that handles tuition, costumes, competition fees and show tickets without a separate tool for each. KadePay does those from a phone or laptop, collects registration forms with signatures and takes cards, bank transfer, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Send each family a costume bill with the costume photo attached, or collect a deposit now and the balance later. For several costumes, a payment plan with agreed installments works well. Keep each dancer's sizes in private notes on the parent's profile.
Yes. Create a ticket link, share it with families, and scan each QR code at the theater door. Tickets are general admission: KadePay does not assign seats or stop sales at a set number, so watch your count against the venue.

Yes. Send the registration form with your policies and photo release. Parents sign in, complete and sign it on their phone, and the response stays with their profile for the whole season.
Pay-As-You-Go starts at $0 per month for a studio in its first season; payment and usage fees apply. Recurring tuition and teacher accounts are part of Team at $10 per month and Pro at $35 per month, and the pricing page compares them side by side.
