Keep the students
you've already won.
Most studios lose 30–40% of new students in month one. LODance is a discovery and retention layer designed to put that revenue back on the table — without touching your existing SaaS or brand.
The studio operator's reality
These are the pressures every studio owner we talk to is sitting on.
- ✓30–40% of new students leave inside the first month, and you can't see why.
- ✓Marketing eats 40%+ of your time with unclear ROI per channel.
- ✓Teachers leave with their student relationships, and the brand can't catch them.
- ✓Competing studios show up ahead of yours on Google.
- ✓You can't see student practice between lessons — only attendance.
- ✓Hiring marketing or admin staff isn't economic at your current scale.
Three layers that sit beside your existing tools
We don't replace your Mindbody, your website, or your brand. We add the layers most studios can't build alone.
Directory + discovery
Your studio is auto-listed across our 8,700+ studio worldwide directory, with location, dance styles, schedule, and reviews. Discovery without ad spend — students find you by city, dance, or skill level.
Student-retention layer
Steps Engine + saved syllabi + practice tools mean students retain more between lessons. Lower drop-off in month one = lower CAC, higher LTV. Measurable in 90 days.
Teacher empowerment, not poaching
Your teachers get a portfolio that lives at LODance — they stay because they have visibility, and the studio gets the network-effect referrals. We never recruit teachers away from studios.

Pilot program
30-day free pilot for studios.
Claim your listing, add up to 5 instructor profiles, and turn on the student practice layer. We measure CAC and 30-day retention with you. No card up-front; no auto-conversion at day 31.
We're prioritizing pilots with studios already running a CRM/booking SaaS — the discovery + retention layer plugs in cleanly without disrupting your operations.
Start the pilot conversationThe questions studio owners always ask
Does this compete with my studio brand?
No. LODance is a hub — your studio name, schedule, and unique offerings lead your listing. We're a discovery layer (students finding you) and a retention layer (students staying with you), sitting beside your existing brand and website, not replacing them.
I already use Mindbody / Pike13 / Wellness Living.
Great — keep using them. LODance is a discovery and retention layer that sits in front of your SaaS backend, not a replacement for it. Bookings, payments, and CRM stay where they are. We add the public-facing directory presence and the student practice layer.
Who owns the student data?
You do. Studios own their student relationships. LODance is the public platform — directory listing, optional practice tools — not the landlord. We don't sell student data, don't gate-keep your customer list, and don't make you re-enter your CRM here. Data export is one click.
Stop losing month-one students.
Free directory listing. Optional pilot. No replacement of your existing tools.
