Manual follow-ups eating into your choreography time
Missing enrollment spikes from seasonal trends like summer salsa workshops or holiday ballet intensives that you can't track manually

Your Custom AI Lead Engine: Tailored for Dance Studios
We've powered lead systems for over 50 wellness businesses, including studios that doubled enrollment without adding staff
Why Choose Us
Here's the thing: dance studios aren't cookie-cutter gyms. Your leads come from passionate dancers scrolling Instagram for hip-hop intensives or parents hunting beginner ballet for kids. We build a custom AI lead generation system from the ground up, scraping targeted sources like local event listings and dance forums, enriching data with details like preferred styles and skill levels, then feeding it straight into your CRM. No more juggling Zapier hacks or pricey subscriptions that don't understand recital season. It's flexible, scalable, and owned by you—perfectly synced to your workflow, whether you're running virtual workshops or in-person sessions.
What Makes Us Different:
Why This Fits Your Studio Perfectly
Fill Classes with High-Intent Dancers
Fill Classes with High-Intent Dancers: You're probably thinking, 'How do I attract serious students without wasting ad budget?' Our system identifies prospects actively searching for dance lessons via local event apps and Google trends, boosting conversion by 35%—think more full hip-hop crews and fewer no-shows, with classes averaging 15 committed spots per session.
Save Hours on Admin, Focus on Teaching
Save Hours on Admin, Focus on Teaching: Let's be honest, sorting through inquiry emails after a big performance shouldn't take all night. This custom setup automates qualification, scheduling free trials, and follow-ups within 24 hours, freeing you up to perfect that routine instead of chasing leads—reclaim up to 10 hours weekly for choreography.
Boost Retention from Day One
Boost Retention from Day One: Like a well-choreographed routine, great leads lead to loyal members. Our AI personalizes outreach based on their dance background, such as suggesting beginner jazz flows for former gymnasts, increasing first-class attendance by 50% and turning one-time trials into long-term enrollments with 70% renewal rates after three months.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd get a ton of inquiries from our Instagram Reels on freestyle battles, but half never showed up. Their custom system started scoring leads based on location, preferred styles like breaking or lyrical, and past class experience, and in the first two months, we had 25 new sign-ups for our adult contemporary classes—plus a 20% drop in cancellations. It's like having an extra staffer who never sleeps."
Maria Gonzalez
Owner, Rhythm Flow Dance Studio in Austin, TX
"I was skeptical about AI for a creative space like ours, but this lead gen tool pulled in parents searching for kids' ballet classes right before back-to-school season via targeted local searches. We went from 10 trial spots to 35 filled in just one month, and the integration with our Mindbody booking software was seamless—no more double entries or lost pointe shoe inquiries."
Jamal Rivera
Artistic Director, Urban Groove Studios in Chicago, IL
"Our studio was buried in low-quality leads from generic Facebook ads targeting 'fitness enthusiasts.' AIQ built something that targets local dancers from event sites like Dance Magazine listings and community workshops, and we've seen a 40% uptick in hip-hop enrollments since launch three months ago, with classes now consistently at 90% capacity. The best part? It's all ours—no ongoing fees eating into profits."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this AI lead gen differ from standard Facebook ads for my dance studio?
Let's be honest, Facebook ads are great for reach but often flood you with tire-kickers who aren't serious about dance. Our custom AI goes deeper: it scrapes targeted sources like dance community forums and event listings, enriches leads with specifics like interest in salsa or contemporary, and scores them for conversion potential. For example, instead of blasting generic ads, it identifies parents in your zip code searching for kids' hip-hop classes and automates personalized invites. Studios see 30-50% higher enrollment rates because it's built around your unique offerings, not one-size-fits-all targeting. We integrate it all into your existing tools, saving you from ad fatigue while focusing on qualified prospects who actually show up.
What if my studio is small—does this scale down for us?
Absolutely, you're probably thinking a custom AI sounds big for a boutique studio with 20 classes a week. We tailor it precisely: for smaller operations, we start with core features like automated lead capture from your website and socials, enriching just 50-100 leads monthly with basics like location and style prefs. It's flexible—no massive upfront build. One studio we worked with, just 15 instructors, used it to fill beginner ballet spots during slow seasons, adding 12 new members in a month without extra marketing spend. As you grow, we scale it up seamlessly, always matching your rhythm without overkill.
How do you ensure leads are relevant to dance, not general fitness?
Dance isn't just exercise—it's art, community, and skill-building. We train the AI on your specifics: input your class types, like jazz funk or lyrical, and it targets sources like Dance Magazine listings or local recital groups. No generic fitness noise. For instance, it might pull from Instagram hashtags like #BalletBasics or event apps for workshops, then enrich with data on past participation. This weeds out gym-hoppers, delivering dancers excited for your vibe. We've helped studios cut irrelevant leads by 60%, turning more inquiries into packed floors and loyal members who stick around for recitals.
What's the timeline to get this up and running for my studio?
We keep it straightforward—no endless delays. After our discovery call, where we learn your pain points like post-social media follow-ups, the build takes 4-6 weeks. This includes coding the scraper, testing integrations with your booking system, and a soft launch. One client, a hip-hop focused studio, had leads flowing in under 5 weeks, just in time for their summer intensive. It's iterative: we monitor the first batch of leads and tweak for accuracy, ensuring it fits your workflow from day one. Post-launch, you're owning a system that evolves with your seasons.
How does this help with retention in my dance community?
Lead gen isn't just about getting them in the door—it's about keeping that spark alive, especially in a member-focused space like yours. Our system doesn't stop at acquisition; it builds in nurturing that ties to retention, like automated check-ins after their first class or personalized recommendations for advanced levels based on their initial interest. For example, if a lead signs up for beginner tap, the AI follows up with tips and invites to group performances. Studios report 25% better retention because it creates that welcoming flow from inquiry to community member. It's all custom to your studio's culture, fostering loyalty without extra effort.
Do I need technical skills to manage this AI system?
Not at all—think of it like learning a new dance routine; we guide you through it. We design the dashboard intuitively, with simple views of new leads, scores, and actions like 'Send Trial Invite,' no coding required. For a studio owner juggling teaching and admin, it's point-and-click. We provide training sessions and ongoing support, so even if you're not tech-savvy, you can oversee it in minutes a day. A client who runs a small contemporary studio said it felt as easy as updating their class playlist, and now they pull reports on lead sources during coffee breaks.
