A teacher's day is back-to-back lessons with a phone in a pocket. The software has to answer three questions in under a second, who is next, what did we do last time, and did the last lesson happen, and then get out of the way.

6 lessons taught, a double is two, a meeting is noneAn example with invented names.
Back-to-back lessons, a phone in a pocket, and a watch on the wrist if you wear one.
The Today widget and Home show the day in order. Open the first lesson and the prep card has last time's notes and what you meant to do next.
The student on the floor, the note from last time, and Complete. Completing takes the credit off their package, two for a double.
Write what you covered and what to do next time. On Apple Watch, a voice note goes straight into the teaching note.
Mark the no-show. If the lesson had already been completed by mistake, the package credit goes back on its own.
A student asked for Thursday at six. Approve it or decline it. Nothing lands on your calendar that you did not agree to.
Where the studio has recaps switched on, send what you did and what to practice, with a link to a video or a practice track. How the lesson diary works.
My week lists every lesson with its studio beside it, and warns when two studios are too close together to travel between.
Lesson mode shows the student, what you worked on last time and what you meant to do next, and finishes the lesson in one tap. If they did not come, mark it, and if a lesson was already completed and turns out to be a no-show, the package credit goes back automatically.
Many teachers work at more than one studio. My week puts every lesson in one list with the studio beside it, warns when two studios back onto each other with no time to travel, and counts properly: a double lesson is two lessons, a staff meeting is none.
Mark yourself off and the studio sees which of your lessons need cover and which teachers are free at those times. Handing a lesson over tells the student in the studio's own time zone, not the teacher's.
The point of a teaching note is the next lesson, so that is where it shows up.
"What we covered" and "Next time". Short is fine. They are kept on the student, not on you.
Lesson mode and the prep card open with them, so the lesson starts where the last one ended.
A teacher who takes over a student, for a week of cover or for good, reads the history rather than starting again.
A studio can mark a custom field, such as a competition goal, to show in a teacher's lesson prep.
The studio adds you and gives you a ten-character access code.
The iPhone app or any browser. One account, even if you teach at more than one studio.
It decides when students can request or book you.
Your lessons are already on your week. Open one and start.

Yes. Your insights show your own earnings for the period.
Through the studio's public booking page, using the availability you set. The studio chooses, per teacher, whether that is an instant booking or a request you approve.
Yes. An independent practice is its own studio in DanceFlow with its own students and books, and My week shows it alongside the rest. Software for independent teachers.
DanceFlow is one system for the whole of ballroom: the studio, the independent teacher, and the competition.
