Sunday night, planning the week
Pull up the dashboard. Three dancers, fifteen classes, two birthdays. Everyone's schedule on one screen. Tap a class to see the costume, music link, and what the teacher needs from you this week.
For Parents & Dancers
Your dancer's whole studio life. On your phone.
Schedules, costumes, tuition, 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.
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 Ava?" 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
"Ava'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 upload. Ava's Platinum solo award auto-adds to her profile. Forever. 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; per-dancer permissions
- Custody-friendly: Primary, Secondary, and additional Guardians per dancer
- Photo-release toggles per dancer (each Guardian configurable 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 doesn't own your child's record. Your child does.
Every adjudication award, every milestone, every years-of-service badge. Earned once, recorded forever. The studio can't quietly erase it. If your family ever moves or switches studios, the record comes with the dancer. Built like school transcripts. Permanent by design.

We onboard studios first. But if you forward this page to your studio owner, you've started the conversation.
