Drama teachers: booking weekly drama classes for children

Parents look for a Wednesday or Saturday drama class while juggling the family's week, and they want to see the age group, the time and whether there's room. Put each class on your booking page as its own service with a set number of places. Parents book a trial or a place at any hour, each class stops taking bookings when it's full, and you start the term knowing who is in each group.

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.

Durations, places and prices are examples: set your own. Say in the description whether the price is per class or for the term.

Set places to the group you can direct so each child gets a turn on stage. When the last place is booked, the class leaves your page. Each online booking takes one place, so a parent with two children books twice, with each child's name in the note.

Slots repeat each week on the weekdays you choose until an end date, so a Wednesday class for the term takes a few minutes to set up. Each online booking takes one place on one date. For enrolled children, book the term's classes yourself from your bookings list: first and last name are enough, and if you enter the parent's email they receive a confirmation with a calendar file for each class.

Give the trial its own service with one or two places per class, so new children join a real class without filling it. After the trial, enrol the child by booking the term for them.

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 parent's calendar file. Ask for the child's first name and age, and who collects them.

Before the end-of-year show, create a separate service for extra rehearsals and the dress rehearsal, with an end date on its slots. Book these for each child yourself, or ask parents to book them.

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