“Our new home page finally reflects the spirit of our school: sensitive, alive, in motion. The new-season enrolments came in one after another, without a single phone call. A real time-saver.”
Your future students and their families discover you online long before they walk through the studio door. They compare, they read, they enrol. Your site has to answer each of those moments.
Starting or growing a dance school, a choreographic studio or a conservatoire today means having a website that lives up to your artistic world. Families compare your disciplines, watch your performance videos, read your teachers' backgrounds, check the feel of your classes and want to be able to enrol their children online.
Building a website for a dance school is about far more than good design. It is an artistic communication tool that has to embody the sensibility of your studio, set out your teaching approach, and make both new-season enrolment and show ticket sales effortless.
At BetterSport, we design websites built specifically for dance schools, choreographic studios and artistic companies. Our team knows the codes of the sector, what families expect and the culture of the performing arts.
We also pull the SEO levers that make the difference on local searches such as "jazz dance school Villeurbanne" or "ballet classes Paris 11". Every page serves a precise goal and leads the visitor towards a concrete action: booking a trial class, requesting information, buying a ticket for a show.
Three pillars that turn a plain showcase site into a genuine enrolment engine for your dance school, your choreographic studio or your arts training centre.
Your pages climb to the top of Google on searches for "dance school", "jazz classes", "contemporary dance" or "ballet classes for children" in your town. Google Business profile integrated, technical markup suited to arts organisations, content written for each discipline.
Families enrol in a few minutes and choose their classes by discipline, age group and level. Secure Stripe payment with an instalment option, invoice sent automatically, personal account for students and their parents.
Photo and video gallery of your performances, a profile for each teacher with their artistic background, your choreographic creations brought to the fore, ticketing for your shows. Everything that makes your school what it is gets its place.
Every site is designed from scratch to reflect the aesthetic, the artistic vision and the spirit of your studio. From the intimate choreographic studio to the multi-disciplinary conservatoire.
Studio founded in 2008 in Villeurbanne. Three studios, twelve teachers, more than 400 students aged 4 to 70. Annual show every June on the municipal theatre stage.
We have identified the features that genuinely make a difference for a dance school, a choreographic studio or an arts conservatoire, and left out everything that only adds weight.
A clear view of the week's classes, organised by discipline (ballet, jazz, contemporary), age group and level. Your students find their class in two clicks.
A dedicated profile for each teacher: artistic background, training, creations, photos, the classes they teach. Your students choose knowing exactly who they are learning from.
Online enrolment for year-long courses, intensives and workshops. Secure card payment through Stripe, with the option to pay in instalments.
Your choreographic creations, end-of-year galas, concerts and performances shown at their best. Photos, videos and downloadable programmes, organised by season.
Ticket sales for your shows: numbered seating where you need it, concession rates, e-tickets sent automatically, live tracking of bookings and admissions.
Pages targeted by neighbourhood or town, optimised for searches like "dance school + town" or "jazz classes + district". Google Business profile connected.
Every student gets their own account: the classes they have taken, invoices, attendance certificates, a personalised timetable, shared teaching documents.
European hosting, encryption, consent management for photographs of children, digital parental authorisations. Your data and your families' data are protected.
Our team is with you from the first brief to going live, with a method proven on more than 140 projects for dance schools, conservatoires and companies across France.
An in-depth conversation with your team to understand your school, its history, its teaching approach, its disciplines, its teachers and its creations. We also look at the competing schools in your area and identify the SEO opportunities. Deliverable: specification and site structure.
Bespoke graphic design for the site, true to the aesthetic of your studio. Desktop and mobile mock-ups for every key page: home, disciplines, teachers, timetable, performances, enrolment. Two rounds of revisions included, adjusting until your artistic team signs it off completely.
Development of the site with the features you approved: online enrolment, payment, show ticketing, student account, multimedia gallery, timetable by discipline. Your local SEO, Google Business profile and analytics tracking are set up. Tested on every device and browser.
Your site goes into production, the SEO is configured, and your administrative and teaching staff are trained to run it day to day. We stay alongside you through the first few weeks to adjust whatever needs adjusting. Support included for 12 months.
A generic site built by a web agency with no feel for the performing arts will give you a pretty site. A site built for dance schools will give you a tool that fills your classes and your shows.
Whether you run a volunteer-led dance school, a multi-disciplinary choreographic studio, a municipal conservatoire or a company in residence, our approach fits your project.
You run a neighbourhood dance school, with a small teaching team and a loyal local following. Your site has to reflect the spirit of your studio, present your disciplines (ballet, jazz, contemporary, hip-hop, modern jazz) and let families enrol their children online without friction.
You offer demanding artistic work to an adult or pre-professional audience. The site has to showcase your teachers' careers, your choreographic creations, your residencies, your partnerships with companies. The aesthetic matters enormously: it is what speaks to an audience of artists and devotees.
You teach several art forms: dance, music, theatre, visual arts. Your site has to give that diversity a clear hierarchy, present each course of study by cycle and by age, and highlight your diploma in choreographic studies where you have one. Particular care goes into navigation by discipline and by level.
You are a company developing your own work, touring in France and hosting artists in residence at your venue. The site has to present your pieces, your associate artists, your programme, your workshops open to the public. Professional SEO is essential if you are to appear in the searches of programmers and partner organisations.
SEO for a dance school rests on specific levers: local search, content around the disciplines, the Google Business profile, reviews from families. Here is how we work each of those.
More than 80% of the searches that lead to a dance school are local searches. Someone looking for "dance school Lyon" or "jazz classes Villeurbanne" has a clear and immediate intent: they want to enrol a child or sign up again for the coming season. Ranking at the top on that kind of query means capturing demand that is already mature and ready to commit.
Our SEO work covers three complementary areas. Technical SEO first : site structure, loading speed, page markup, structured data specific to arts organisations (opening hours, prices, disciplines). Everything that lets Google grasp your teaching project quickly.
Content SEO next : pages dedicated to each discipline (ballet, jazz, contemporary, modern jazz, hip-hop), pages targeted by neighbourhood, editorial articles about dance, the performing arts, music and arts teaching.
Local SEO last : a complete overhaul of your Google Business profile, managing reviews from families (a score below 4.5 stars holds new enrolments back considerably), citations in cultural directories, consistent contact details everywhere on the web. It is often the most profitable lever in the first few months.
SEO is not a fixed deliverable. It is ongoing work, which we offer as a monthly support option for schools that really want to own their area. For everyone else, we deliver a site solidly optimised from day one, which gives you a sound base on which to build your visibility.
Each month our team tracks how your rankings move, which queries bring traffic, and the opportunities worth taking. You always know where you stand and what is left to do to move up a gear.
