Stepaside Studios

Stepaside Studios is the private, members-only app for our dance studio community — a calm, safe home for everything that used to live across group chats, emails and paper notes.

It's just for us: studio admins, teachers, parents and dancers. It isn't a public social network, you can't be found here by strangers, and new members are approved by the studio before they get in.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Class feed — announcements, photos and videos from your dancer's classes, plus studio-wide news, all in one place. • Chat — message the studio and class groups without swapping personal phone numbers. Send a quick text, a voice message or a short video message. • Events — RSVP to concerts, workshops and studio dates so teachers know who's coming. • Competitions — call times, running order and results as soon as they're published. • Photos & videos — relive class moments, shared only inside the studio community. • Notifications — a gentle nudge for the things that matter, nothing more.

BUILT FOR FAMILIES, PRIVATE BY DESIGN

• Approved members only. The studio confirms every account. • Photos of your dancer are OFF by default — they only appear if you turn that on. • Parents manage their dancers' details and privacy; from age 15 a dancer can look after their own settings, and everyone's information stays inside the studio. • Mobile numbers are never shown to other members. • Report and block tools on posts, messages and profiles; studio admins moderate the community. • You can download a copy of your information, or delete your account and its data, right in the app. • No ads. No third-party tracking. We never sell your data.

Your information is stored securely in Australia and encrypted in transit and at rest.

Stepaside Studios is designed to be joined by invitation from the studio. If your family isn't with Stepaside Studios yet, this app won't have anything for you — but we'd love to see you in class.
