For Parents and Dancers

Your dancer's whole studio life. On your phone.

Schedules, costumes, tuition, private lessons, comp day, awards. One app. No paper, no group texts, no email digging.

StageSide is free for parents and dancers. Always.

A typical week

The five moments StageSide is built for.

1

Sunday night, planning the week

Pull up the dashboard. Three dancers, fifteen classes, two costume sizes due, a tuition reminder, and a music link the teacher wants reviewed before Tuesday. Everyone's schedule on one screen. Tap a class to see the costume, music link, and what the teacher needs from you this week.

2

Tuesday morning, the kid is sick

Tap "Won't be there today." Both parents get the notification, so nobody assumes the other one's handling drop-off. Teacher sees it before class. No more "where's Ryan?" texts.

3

Wednesday at 7pm, costume invoice lands

Auto-pay's on. You see the line item on your phone. Done. No hunt for the credit card you used last time.

4

Saturday, comp day

"Elena's on deck in 8 routines." You're in the snack-bar line; you'll make it. Tap to share the running order with grandma in another state. She follows along live.

5

Sunday, awards posted

Adjudication results come in. Abby's Platinum solo award lands on her profile. You can enter it yourself, the studio can enter it, or it auto-imports when official results post. Either way, it stays. Even if you change studios in three years, it travels with her.

Designed for real families

Custody, co-parenting, grandparents, foster families. All supported.

Most dance apps assume one parent, one bank account, one set of permissions. StageSide was built by a co-parent. Every dancer has a caregiver tier system that handles the real world: Primary holds the account, Secondary gets full access, additional Guardians are added with the exact permissions you grant.

  • One account, multiple dancers, permissions set per dancer.
  • Custody-friendly: Primary, Secondary, and Other Guardians per dancer.
  • Book private lessons right from the app, and see how many tuition-included lessons are left this month before anything bills.
  • Class and team message threads, with photos and quick polls. Private adult-to-minor messages are never allowed.
  • Photo-release toggles per dancer. Each caregiver sets theirs separately.
  • Pickup-authorization list set by the Primary Caregiver.
  • Notifications routed by event type. Primary gets payment reminders. Both parents get comp-day pings.
  • Read-only access for grandparents and extended family.
A history that travels with your dancer

The studio and the dancer share the record. Neither side can quietly erase it.

Every adjudication award, every milestone, every years-of-service badge. Earned once, kept on the dancer's profile. Studios and families share ownership, and any change goes through a consent step both sides see. If your family ever moves or switches studios, the record comes with the dancer. Built like school transcripts. Permanent by design.
