DanceStudio-Pro handles registration, tuition, scheduling, costumes, recitals, and the parent portal. Competitive Edge Core handles everything after — coach accountability, skill progression, injury tracking, and multi-studio reporting. No data migration. No staff retraining. Live in 48 hours.

See who submitted attendance, lesson notes, skill updates, and follow-ups — and who didn't. No more chasing coaches by text. Owners get a weekly compliance view; coaches see exactly what's expected.
Dancer-by-dancer growth tracking with automatic flags when a dancer plateaus, falls behind, or is ready for a move-up. The "who's stagnating" report DanceStudio-Pro can't generate.
Role-based privacy on every incident note. Coaches see what they need to coach safely. Owners see the full record. Parents see only what you choose. Built for the legal reality DSP isn't designed for.
Roll up rehearsal quality, retention, coach compliance, and class health across every location in your chain. One dashboard for the operator running 2, 3, or 10 studios.
No migration. No "let's audit your stack first" call. You keep DanceStudio-Pro running exactly as it is today.
We walk through your current rehearsal, coach, and reporting workflow. You tell us what's slipping.
Your studio's CEC workspace goes live. Coach accounts created. Rehearsal report and skill-progression templates configured to your program.
Coaches submit their first rehearsal reports. Owner dashboard populates. You see what was invisible last week.
Because DanceStudio-Pro was built to run the front of your studio — registration, tuition, scheduling, costumes, recitals, parent comms. The back of the house — coach accountability, skill progression, injury tracking, multi-location reporting — was never its job. We fill that gap, alongside DSP, not instead of it.
No. Your dancers, classes, tuition, and parent records stay in DanceStudio-Pro. Competitive Edge Core captures the operational data DSP doesn't — rehearsal reports, coach submissions, skill notes, incidents — directly from your coaches in the field.
Coaches keep doing everything they do in DSP today. CEC adds one new habit: a short rehearsal report and skill update at the end of class. Most coaches are running it in under a week.
DSP reports surface data DSP already collects. We collect what DSP was never designed to collect — qualitative coach observations, skill progression detail, incident records with privacy controls, multi-location rollups. Different data, different problem.
That's the use case we're sharpest on. Multi-studio dance chains get chain-level rollups across rehearsal quality, retention risk, coach compliance, and class health — without needing every location on the same DanceStudio-Pro account.
An attendance and roster sync is on the roadmap. Today, CEC works alongside DSP without an integration — most studios are up and running in 48 hours regardless.
