DanceStudio App

Dance Studio App - WordPress Plugin The Dance Studio App is a comprehensive WordPress plugin designed to help dance studio owners and managers streamline their operations. It provides a suite of tools to manage students, classes, schedules, attendance, and finances directly from the WordPress dashboard.

📖 About The Project This plugin transforms a standard WordPress website into a powerful management hub for a dance studio. It offers distinct dashboard experiences for administrators, studio managers, and students. Administrators get a full overview of the studio's activities, managers can handle daily operations, and students can view their schedules, track their progress, and manage their enrollments.

📊 Financial Reporting: Generate reports on income and subscriptions to keep track of the studio's financial health.

🛒 WooCommerce Integration: Seamlessly integrates with WooCommerce for handling payments for classes and subscriptions.

🖥️ Frontend Dashboards: Provides dashboards for students and managers via simple shortcodes, allowing them to access relevant information from the frontend of your site.
