Luma guide
By Rick
Compare dance studio software in Australia for independent studios: management checklist for timetable, bookings, credits, payments, support, export, contracts, and switching risk — then where Luma fits.
The best dance studio software in Australia is the one that fits an independent studio’s weekly ops — not a universal ranking. Compare timetable and instructor cover, student bookings and waitlists, credits and memberships, payment fees and ownership, support, contract length, data export, and switching risk. Luma is a strong candidate when those jobs need one timetable-first system, with published AUD pricing (Studio A$99 / Growth A$149 / Scale A$189) and monthly cancel. Register your interest for a free pilot that leads to a demo. For what the software category covers day to day, see /dance-studio-software-australia/.
| Decision point | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Timetabling | Can the tool collect instructor availability, create schedules, and publish classes? |
| Bookings | Can students self-serve booking, waitlists, and attendance? |
| Credits and memberships | Are balances, passes, and memberships understandable and recoverable? |
| Payments | Who owns processing, fees, payouts, and reconciliation? |
| Lock-in | Can the studio cancel, understand offboarding, and confirm what data access is available today? |

Ballet, contemporary, and other genre studios still need the same stack: timetable, cover, bookings, credits, memberships, and payments. Compare on those jobs, not genre marketing pages.
When an independent group-class dance studio needs scheduling, instructor coordination, bookings, payments, credits, and reporting in one owner-friendly system rather than a heavy enterprise platform.
