Dance teachers: booking wedding first dance lessons online

Engaged couples look for first dance lessons in the evenings, after work, when your studio phone is off. Put the wedding dance on your booking page as its own set of services: a first meeting, private lessons and a final rehearsal. Couples book their first lesson at any hour, you plan their lessons back from the wedding date, and private hours fill around your group classes.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description shown on your public page, and each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity. Give each wedding service one place per slot: a couple books once for both of them.

Durations and prices are examples: set your own, and say in the description that the price is per couple.

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email and appears in the couple's calendar file. Ask in the note for:

At the end of the first meeting, agree how many lessons the couple needs and book them yourself from your bookings list, leaving the final rehearsal close to the wedding. First and last name are enough; if you enter their email, they get a confirmation with a calendar file for each lesson. Say in the description of the private lesson if you offer a set number of lessons, since Book doesn't sell packages or take payments.

Slots repeat each week on the weekdays you choose until an end date, so open private lesson slots in the hours before and after group classes. If several teachers give wedding lessons, create one service per teacher, such as "Wedding dance with Clara", so each couple knows who teaches them.

Wedding lessons cluster before the summer. Open extra slots in spring with an end date, and close the extra weeks when the season is over by letting that end date pass.

Couples can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the lesson. Book doesn't email clients about changes and sends no reminders. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
