5 Scenarios Sofia
Handles Every Day

See how Sofia guides parents, students, and families through the most common dance studio enquiries — naturally, professionally, and without any staff involvement.

P
Hi, I'd like to enrol my daughter in ballet. She's six years old and has never danced before. Do you take complete beginners at that age?
S
Absolutely — six is a wonderful age to begin. Our Pre-Primary Ballet class is designed specifically for children aged four to seven with no prior experience. It runs on Tuesday afternoons and Saturday mornings. Would either of those suit your family's schedule?
P
Saturday mornings work well for us. Can we do a trial class first before committing to the term?
S
Of course — we offer a complimentary trial class for new students. I have spots available this Saturday at 9:30 am and 10:30 am. Which would you prefer? I can confirm the booking and send all the details to your email straight away.
Trial ballet class booked for Saturday — confirmation and welcome email sent immediately
P
I'm trying to get tickets for the end-of-year recital. My daughter is in the junior contemporary class. How many tickets are we allocated and how do we purchase them?
S
The end-of-year concert is on Saturday the 14th of December at the Riverside Theatre. Each enrolled student receives four complimentary family tickets, and additional tickets are available for purchase at $22 each. The junior contemporary class performs in the afternoon session, which begins at 2 pm. Shall I send you the ticketing link directly?
P
Yes please — and can you tell me about costume collection? I haven't heard anything about that yet.
S
Costume collection is scheduled for the last week of term, on the Thursday and Friday between 3:30 pm and 6 pm at the studio. You'll need to have completed costume payment by November 30. I'll send you a summary email now with all the recital details and the ticketing link.
Recital details confirmed — ticketing link and costume collection schedule sent automatically
C
My daughter has her ballet exam in eight weeks and I want to organise some private lessons to help her prepare. Do you offer private coaching and what does it cost?
S
Yes, we absolutely do. Private examination coaching sessions are available in 45-minute blocks at $95 per session. With eight weeks available, we would typically recommend two sessions per week to properly consolidate the RAD syllabus. Which teacher is your daughter currently training with, so I can match her with the right coach?
C
She trains with Ms Andrews. Can we book an initial session for next week?
S
Ms Andrews has availability on Tuesday at 4:30 pm and Thursday at 5:15 pm next week for private sessions. Would either of those work for your daughter? I can tentatively hold a spot while you check her schedule.

P
I need to book a costume fitting for my son. He's in the junior hip-hop class. Are there fitting sessions available this weekend?
S
Yes — costume fittings for this term are running this Saturday and Sunday between 10 am and 3 pm. Each fitting takes about 15 minutes. For junior hip-hop, we'll need your son's age and approximate height and weight so we can have the right size range ready. How old is he and roughly how tall?
P
He's eleven, about 148 centimetres. Saturday morning would work — around 11 am if possible.
S
I have 11 am available on Saturday. I'll book that in and note his measurements so the costume coordinator has everything prepared. What name is the booking under and which email shall I send the confirmation to?
Costume fitting booked for Saturday — measurements noted, confirmation sent immediately
P
My daughter missed her contemporary class this week because of a school camp. Is it possible for her to attend a makeup class before the end of term?
S
Yes — we offer makeup class credits for absences with advance notice. For the junior contemporary class, there are two makeup opportunities available before the end of term: Wednesday the 18th at 4 pm and Friday the 20th at 5:30 pm. Both are with a senior teacher and the content matches this week's missed lesson. Which date works best for her?
P
Wednesday the 18th works well. How do we register her for that?
S
I can register her for the Wednesday makeup class right now. I just need her name and your email so I can send through the confirmation and add her to the makeup class register. The studio location and entry details will be included.

Recital season generates a surge of calls. Sofia handles performance dates, ticket allocations, venue details, costume collections, and dress rehearsal schedules — keeping your phone clear for teaching.

What Studios Say

Dance Studios Around Australia
Already Love Sofia

From suburban ballet schools to inner-city performing arts academies, Sofia is helping studio owners focus on teaching — not phone calls and admin.

★★★★★

Term enrolments used to be a nightmare — phones ringing constantly, parents calling after hours and getting voicemail, half the enquiries turning into emails that sat unanswered. Since Sofia went live, we've had zero missed enrolment enquiries and our trial class bookings jumped nearly forty percent in the first term. The recital season coverage was particularly impressive.

★★★★★

I run a mid-size studio — eight teachers, classes from 3 pm to 8 pm on weekdays and all day Saturday. We had a part-time admin person whose entire role was fielding enrolment calls and replying to the same timetable questions. Sofia now handles all of that. The admin person moved to student welfare and family communications — work that actually needed a human. The ROI was immediate.

★★★★★

What I did not expect was how good Sofia is at handling sibling enquiries. Parents call wanting classes for two or three children in the same family, and Sofia navigates the timetable to find options that work for the whole family on the same day. It would have taken me fifteen minutes on the phone — Sofia does it in two. Our Saturday enrolments are the highest they have ever been.
