DANZ vs MotionHub

DANZ is a platform for dance schools to manage schedules, bookings, attendance, passes, events, payments, communication and reporting. Schools can set recurring classes by studio, teacher, level and style; students book through web or mobile and can join waitlists that advance automatically when a space opens. QR check-in marks attendance and deducts class credit, with a 30-second window to reverse a scan. Schools can sell 5-, 10- and 20-class cards or unlimited passes, including pause and family-sharing options. Event tools cover online ticketing, emailed QR tickets and door scanning. Payroll supports automatic calculations, substitutes, custom rates and PDF payslips; dashboards show fill rates, at-risk students, geography and teacher performance. Schedule sync is available for Google, Apple and Outlook calendars. The service provides role-specific apps and browser access to each school’s dedicated site. DANZ says it uses encrypted data, EU hosting and an audit log, and that customers can export their data. DANZ Solo costs €49/month, excluding VAT; there is no free plan or trial.

MotionHub brings studio scheduling, memberships, payments, attendance, a website and a student app into one platform for studios including dance, yoga, Pilates, martial arts and fitness.
