For dance studios
HotGlue gives dance studios a complete operating system with $0 monthly software fees and payment processing that runs itself. Automate the business, so you can focus on the choreography.
HotGlue is dance studio management software that costs $0 per month because it is funded by payment processing: studios get online registration, automated tuition autopay, digital waivers, recital and costume tracking, and a parent portal, plus free migration from Jackrabbit, iClassPro, MindBody or DanceStudio-Pro.
Migrating from Jackrabbit, iClassPro, MindBody or DanceStudio-Pro? Migration is free and handled for you.
Studio management and payment processing, delivered as a single system, built for recital season, not for spreadsheets.
Every dancer, class, and family lives in one platform. We migrate you free from Jackrabbit, iClassPro, MindBody and DanceStudio-Pro.
Autopay pulls tuition on the day you choose. Declines retry themselves, late fees apply themselves, and you stop chasing checks.
The software is subsidized by processing. $0 monthly fees, and on the Advantage plan, $0 in card fees too.
Registration, tuition, waivers, recitals and messaging in one place, with a parent portal so intuitive families stop texting you questions.
Cards and bank accounts on file. Failed payments retry and remind automatically.
Legally-defensible e-signatures collected at registration, enforced before class.
We move students, classes, schedules and billing data with zero downtime.
No monthly software fees, ever. Choose how you want card fees handled.
