What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, I was spending Fridays just emailing reminders for our contemporary and hip-hop classes—total burnout. Now, the system sends personalized nudges based on past attendance, like suggesting a follow-up ballet barre for irregulars, and we've cut no-shows by 35% in three months. It's like having an extra staff member who never sleeps."
Elena Vasquez
Owner, Rhythm Flow Dance Studio in Miami
"Our holiday showcase used to be a scramble of last-minute invites amid our packed jazz and tap schedule. Since implementing their custom automation, emails go out automatically with dancer-specific previews, like routine clips for their level, and attendance jumped 28% last season with 75 RSVPs. Finally, time to focus on the creative side."
Marcus Lee

Their AI re-engagement flows brought back 15 dancers in the first month alone, with automated invites to restorative dance sessions, without me lifting a finger. Revenue up 20% quarterly, stress down—game changer for our small studio."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation specifically help with dance studio retention?
In dance studios, retention hinges on feeling connected—like remembering a dancer's favorite style. Our custom system automates personalized touchpoints, such as sending a 'Missed your jazz class? Here's a spot next week' email based on their history. We've seen studios retain 25-40% more members by reducing drop-off through timely, relevant nudges. It integrates with your roster to trigger re-engagement after absences, saving you from manual lists. Plus, it tracks engagement metrics so you can refine what works, like promoting partner dances to couples. No more guessing; it's data-driven care that builds loyalty without the time sink.
What's the setup time for a custom marketing automation system?
We keep it efficient—most dance studios are up and running in 4-6 weeks. First, a quick discovery call maps your classes, events, and tools. Then, our team builds and tests integrations, like linking to your booking app. You'll get hands-on training, and we launch with a soft rollout for your next workshop series. Unlike off-the-shelf tools that take months to configure, our bespoke approach focuses on your workflow, so it's intuitive from day one. Post-launch, we monitor for a month to tweak, ensuring smooth sailing during peak times like recital season.
Can this integrate with my current studio software?
Absolutely, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations. Whether you're using Mindbody for scheduling, Zen Planner for memberships, or even Google Calendar for events, our engineers connect them seamlessly. For dance studios, this means auto-populating class rosters into marketing flows or pulling attendance data for targeted promos. No brittle APIs that break—we build robust links that handle volume, like during back-to-school rushes. If you have custom needs, like syncing with a video platform for routine shares, we customize it. The result? A single, owned system that eliminates data silos and manual transfers.
How do you ensure the automations feel personal, not robotic?
You're right to worry—nobody wants spammy emails in a creative space like dance. Our AI uses your dancers' real data, like past class preferences or milestone achievements, to generate warm, context-aware messages. For example, 'Hey Alex, loved your energy in last week's contemporary—join us for the advanced session?' It's trained on your studio's voice, pulling from sample comms you provide. We avoid generic templates; instead, it's like a thoughtful assistant crafting invites. Studios report open rates 50% higher because it feels genuine, fostering that community vibe essential for retention without you writing every note.
What kind of ROI can a dance studio expect?
Tangible wins start fast: expect 15-20 hours saved weekly on marketing tasks, translating to more teaching time or even adding a class. Retention boosts of 30%+ mean fuller studios— if you have 100 members at $150/month, that's $4,500 extra revenue yearly from re-engaging just 10%. We track specifics like conversion rates from automated promos, showing clear efficiency gains. One studio cut ad spend by 40% while increasing event attendance. It's not hype; our systems deliver quantifiable ROI through custom dashboards, helping you scale without proportional costs, especially during seasonal dips.
Is this scalable for a growing dance studio?
Yes, designed for growth. As your studio expands—from 50 to 200 dancers or adding branches—our architecture scales effortlessly. We use production-ready frameworks that handle increased data, like surging sign-ups for summer intensives, without slowdowns. Automations adapt too; AI learns from more interactions to refine targeting. Unlike rigid tools that cap at certain sizes, ours owns your data, so you avoid escalating subscription fees. We've helped studios double attendance while keeping ops smooth, ensuring your marketing muscle strengthens alongside your community.
