The problem

Is your studio's admin stack held together with duct tape?

There isn't a system. There's you, after class, stitching the calendar, the deposits, and the parent chat back together.

The solution

One system for managing classes, billing, and families

01For Classes

You stop being the schedule.

Parents see the week, book the open slot, and mark when they can't attend a class — without a text message, a PDF, or you adding them by hand.

See Ida For Classes
I was handmaking PDF schedules every month. It was terrible. Now parents book the open slots themselves — I haven’t sent a schedule in months.
Elspeth HughtonOwner, Gott-Hughton Irish Dance Academy
02For Billing

Billing runs itself. You don’t chase.

A competition entry, a workshop, and new costume rentals are all in one place. A failed charge retries — without you chasing who paid. Cash and card live on the same platform.

See Ida For Billing
Before Ida, I was still chasing July tuition in August. Now with Ida, payments just land in my bank account automatically.
Ian GottOwner, Gott-Hughton Irish Dance Academy
03For Families

You don’t get the midnight text.

Parents check the schedule, pay, and ask Ida in the mobile app — iPhone and Android — instead of texting you at 11pm.

This looks fantastic and is super user-friendly!

Fully customizable

Is your studio unique? Well your software should be too.

Ida didn't come out of a boardroom. It came out of Gott-Hughton Irish Dance Academy in Calgary. We looked around. Every tool we found got us partly there, but nothing did exactly what we wanted. We got tired of picking the least bad option — so we built our own.

“Ida has gone above and beyond to customize the system to fit the specific way our studio is structured, rather than expecting us to change our processes to fit the software.”

Switching from another tool

Already on studio software?

Kiva tried three studio software programs before this. Ida was the fourth.

4th time's a charm... ask and you shall receive! I had the pleasure of meeting the Ida OS team, and they helped me design and manifest my dream dance studio software. Nothing cookie cutter, and customizable to pretty much all of my needs. I LOVE my App now, and am very proud of my decision to switch to Ida OS!
