Built for dance studios
Features that actually fit the recital workflow
Costume Changes
Designed for recital workflows where dancers move between routines. Reference selfies are captured separately so each dancer is identified before costumes change.
AI Face Matching
AI sorts photos into per-dancer galleries automatically. Works best with consistent face presentation — heavy stage makeup or wigs may reduce accuracy, and the review tools let you correct edge cases.
Group Routines
Tag every dancer in group shots. AI finds multiple faces in a single image and links the photo to each dancer’s gallery.
Memory Books
Auto-layout pulls a dancer’s headshot, costume portraits, and group routine photos into a print-ready memory book template.
Parent Galleries
Mobile-first galleries built for parents on phones. They see only their dancer, browse by routine, and order in a couple of taps.
Fast Turnaround
Print Station fulfillment from your own studio. Print when parents order and get prints out the door quickly — no lab waits.
Every style. Every routine.
From classical to contemporary — built for the breadth of dance

Frequently asked questions
Can I import studio rosters?
Yes. Upload a CSV with dancer names and class assignments and we map them into the season automatically.
Does AI face matching work with stage makeup and costume changes?
AI works best with consistent face presentation. Heavy stage makeup, wigs, or strong stage lighting can reduce matching accuracy. Reference selfies are captured before performances to give the model a clean baseline, and the supplemental upload tool lets parents help find any photos the model misses.
Can I tag dancers in group routine photos?
Yes. AI finds every face in a group shot and links the photo to each dancer’s individual gallery. You can confirm or override matches in the review interface.
How do memory books work?
