Rosterra is management software for activity businesses, with tools for dance studios to manage rosters, attendance, billing, events, communications and student progression.

Billing supports card and ACH autopay, automatic family and sibling discounts, and failed-payment alerts. Members can check in at a tablet kiosk; staff can take class registers on a phone or tablet. Families can view schedules, progress, invoices and waivers in a web portal or the school's branded app. Listed connections include Square POS, two-way Zoho Books sync, Google Calendar sync and SMS through the customer's provider.
