Check-in software for pole studios
Level-gated classes, pole-spot capacity, and signed waivers that are actually enforceable. Built for studios running beginner flow, choreo, tricks, and heels alongside each other.
What keeps pole dance studios up on a Tuesday
- A level-2 class with 8 poles and 14 people asking if there's room. You need a hard cap, not a vibe.
- New students who never filled the waiver before their first trick class and now you're uncomfortable.
- Heels, flow, tricks, and choreo all need different streams — but the same student crosses between them.
- Bruises happen. Proof that the waiver was signed and when matters.
How SessionHQ fits pole dance studios
Per-class capacity
Each session has a hard cap. The kiosk refuses over-capacity check-ins with a polite message, not a crash.
Waivers tied to members
Signed waivers stored against the member record with a timestamp. First check-in blocks if waiver is missing.
Scoped level passes
A Beginner pack only works on beginner classes. When a student levels up, switch the pass — don't reconfigure the whole system.
Built around how you already talk
- —"Pole" is a capacity unit — rooms are often rated by pole count, and SessionHQ respects the per-session cap.
- —"Grip aids" and studio rules often live in the waiver; SessionHQ stores signed consent and date.
Typical passes for pole dance studios
- Intro 4-week course (fixed schedule)
- 10-class pack for a single level
- Unlimited monthly (all levels after induction)
FAQ
- Can a class be hard-capped by pole count?
- Yes. Every session has a capacity limit. Once it hits, new check-ins are blocked with a clear message; waitlist handling is on the roadmap.
- What about waivers for new students?
- Waivers are captured at signup with a typed-confirmation step. The signed copy and timestamp live on the member record and can be exported.
- Can I block a student from a level they haven't been cleared for?
- Use pass scopes. Students only see classes their pass covers, and teachers can clear them to the next level from the admin view.
