Independent studio research

behind every class.
Software keeps track of your schedule, but your team keeps the studio moving. Activion is mapping the sticky notes, side spreadsheets, and everyday workarounds behind studio life—so better tools can be built around how dance studios actually run.

01The premise
Great studios run on invisible effort.
Most software records the straightforward parts: a student, a class, a payment. But real studio life happens in the daily juggling act—last-minute costume sizing, fee adjustments, substitute swaps, recital changes, and everything your team remembers without writing down.
We’re conducting independent research with dance, movement, and performing arts studios to understand what pulls owners and staff away from the floor. There’s no sales pitch—just an honest look at where your time goes and what deserves a better system.

not your families.
