Website Design for Dance Schools

What a dance school website needs to answer

A family that settles into a dance studio can stay for years, and a parent's first look at your website is usually about a child's very first class. The questions are practical: which class suits their age and experience, which afternoon it runs, what a term adds up to once uniforms, exams and the concert are counted, and how to enrol. Families who are already with you come back each term for the timetable, term dates and concert news.

• A timetable families can filter

  Lay the week out by age group and style, with the level, start time, length and teacher for each class, and mark the ones open to complete beginners. A five-year-old's first ballet class and a senior contemporary class shouldn't share one crowded grid. On the 8-page site each style gets a page with its own slice of the timetable, so a parent searching for tap or hip hop lands on the classes they're after.

• Online enrolment that collects what you need

  An enrolment form asks for the student's name and date of birth, the classes chosen, any medical conditions or injuries the teacher should know about, emergency contacts and a photo permission question. If your studio already enrols through software such as Class Manager, where families choose a class, add their child's details and pay, and go onto a waiting list when a class is full, the Enrol button goes straight there instead.

• Term fees, uniforms and the extras

  Parents do the sums: the fee per class or per term, discounts for siblings or extra classes, the uniform and shoes each style and level requires, costume charges for the end-of-year concert, and exam entry fees. Put them in one place with term dates, make-up classes for missed lessons and your refund policy, so the talk at the studio door is about dancing rather than invoices.

• Exam syllabi and teacher registration

  Say which syllabus you teach and which teachers are registered with it. Only Royal Academy of Dance registered teachers can enter students for RAD exams, and the RAD's online map lets families find one nearby. Other schools follow syllabi from Comdance, the home of the CSTD syllabus, or Australian Teachers of Dancing, covering styles from classical ballet to tap and jazz. A short profile of each teacher, with their training and registration, helps a family moving from another studio compare like with like.

• A child-safety commitment that's easy to find

  Victoria's Child Safe Standards apply to organisations providing coaching or tuition, or cultural, sport or recreation services, specifically for children, and Standard 2 requires a public commitment to child safety. The Social Services Regulator took responsibility for the standards from the Commission for Children and Young People in February 2026. In Queensland, the blue card guidance lists teaching dance or ballet classes for children as work that needs a card. A short child-safety statement in your own words, linked from every page's footer, puts your commitment where families can read it.

• Accredited courses advertised accurately

  If a full-time program leads to a nationally recognised qualification, the training regulator's rules apply to how it's advertised. ASQA's guide to the 2025 Standards says advertising by a registered training organisation, or by a third party on its behalf, must include the RTO's registration code or a link to its entry on the National Register, separate training that leads to a qualification from training that doesn't, and identify which services the third party delivers. If you partner with an RTO, the course page follows that layout, using the details the RTO supplies.

• Concerts, photos and voucher details

  Concert dates, rehearsal calls, costume collection and a link to buy tickets keep the busiest weeks of the year off the phone. Photos and videos of students go up only where parents have said yes. In South Australia, Sports Vouchers Plus covers dance, and a dance provider must be registered with a peak dance association such as Ausdance SA to accept them; NSW's Active and Creative Kids and Queensland's Play On! vouchers list dance too. If you're registered for any of them, say so near your fees.

What a dance school website costs

• Payment. No deposit. We build your draft first, you ask for as many changes as you like, and you pay once you approve it. If you don't go ahead, you owe nothing.
• GST. WebCraft Studio isn't registered for GST, so no GST is added.
• Timing. Most sites are live within 5–10 days of us getting your words and photos; bigger sites (up to 8 pages) take 2–3 weeks.
• Hosting. After launch, hosting is $30 a month: hosting, security monitoring, backups, email support and unlimited text and image changes on your existing pages. New pages or features are quoted first. No contract, cancel anytime.
• Domain and email. We register your domain in your name (about $20 a year), connect it to your site and set up your business email.
