Pricing Inquiry Response Scripts for Dance Studios
When you are in the middle of a ballet barre or a hip-hop routine, you cannot stop to explain tuition rates over the phone. These scripts help you handle pricing questions quickly so you can get back to your dancers while still turning callers into paying students.
Standard Drop-In Inquiry
Use this when a caller wants to know the price for a single one-time class.
Our single drop-in classes are $25 per session. This is a great way to try out a new style like contemporary or jazz without a long commitment. If you decide to join the class for the full month, we actually apply that $25 toward your first month of tuition. Would you like to come in this Tuesday at 5:00 PM for our beginner hip-hop class?
Tips for this scenario
- -Always mention the 'credit' toward a full month to encourage registration.
- -Ask for a specific class time to move them toward booking immediately.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Pro Tips
- 1.Always use the term 'Tuition' rather than 'Fee' to sound more like an educational institution.
- 2.Keep a 'Lead Sheet' by the phone to track which styles of dance callers are interested in.
- 3.If you are too busy to answer, SkipCalls can take the call and book trial classes for you 24/7.
- 4.Mention that you have a 'Dancer Boutique' on-site to help with shoes and leotards to add convenience value.
- 5.Offer a 'Sibling Discount' immediately if they mention they have more than one child.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I put all my prices on my website?
It is best to list your 'starting at' rates for recreational classes but keep competition and private lesson pricing for a phone call or in-person visit so you can explain the value first.
How do I handle parents who think $150 a month is too high?
Compare the cost to other youth activities like travel soccer or gymnastics, and emphasize that your instructors are professional educators, not just hobbyists.
When is the best time to mention the registration fee?
Mention it after they have picked a class time but before you take their credit card. Frame it as the fee that 'secures their spot' in our limited-size classes.
What if a caller wants a discount for paying for the whole year?
Offering a 5% to 10% discount for an annual upfront payment is a great way to improve your studio's cash flow at the start of the season.
