Check-in software for salsa and bachata studios

Built for the Latin scene — classes, practicas, socials, and workshops, all with the kind of pass flexibility a real dance community actually runs on. Founding partner Havana on the Hastings runs on it every week.

What keeps salsa and bachata studios up on a Tuesday

  • A Thursday night with four levels running in sequence — students want to do two in a row, but the desk is drowning.
  • Practicas and socials that need to run as drop-in passes, not the same as a class pack.
  • Workshops with visiting instructors that break every pass rule and need their own ticketing.
  • A scene that churns as couples break up, move, or level up — hard to spot which regulars you're about to lose.

How SessionHQ fits salsa and bachata studios

Multi-class check-in

Level 1 at 6, Level 2 at 7, practica at 8 — pick all three, check in once. Credits deduct across passes.

Flexible pass shapes

Casual, term pack, unlimited monthly, and a separate "practica-only" pass can all coexist. No forcing everything into one model.

Built around how you already talk

  • Practicas run weekly; SessionHQ treats them as recurring sessions with their own pass type.
  • Workshops (visiting artists, weekenders) can live as one-off sessions with their own pricing, outside any pack.

Typical passes for salsa and bachata studios

  • Casual drop-in (single class or social)
  • 10-class pack that covers Level 1–3
  • Unlimited monthly (classes + practicas)

FAQ

Can one pass cover multiple class styles?
Yes. A pack can be configured to cover any class in a set (e.g. all Level 1–3 salsa, or "anything at our studio"), or restricted to a single style.
How do you handle workshop tickets?
Workshops run as one-off sessions with their own price. Members book and pay inline; check-in at the kiosk is the same flow.
What about couples on one pass?
Each dancer needs their own account and PIN so attendance is accurate — but shared payment (one card on file for both) is supported.
