If you're a dance, gymnastics, swim, or martial arts studio owner, you know the drill. Keeping track of every student's progress- who's ready to move up a belt, who's working on their splits, who needs a bit more help with their handstand- usually means a mix of memory, scraps of paper, and notes scattered across different teachers' phones.
Class Manager's class management software has changed that. Skill tracking and grading are now built right into the studio software platform, so every student's progress lives in one secure, structured place instead of floating around in notebooks and text messages.
How Skill Tracking Works In Class Management Software
Skill tracking lets you set the exact skills and levels each student needs to master before moving up a class, entering a competition, performing a solo, or grading to their next belt.
Each skill gets its own status that you can create and adjust to fit your studio, things like started, working on, achieved, needs work, or struggling. Every class and every student is working towards something, whether that's a new belt, a new grade, or nailing a tricky new skill. Instead of relying on memory or paper records, you can track it all through your members' online portal.
Set the skills and milestones that matter to your studio, then mark each student's progress as they go. No more trying to remember who's ready to move up. It's all sitting right alongside their profile.
You're also in control of what parents see. They can view their child's current grade and when they move up, but they won't see the full breakdown of individual skills being worked on. And when grading or assessment time rolls around, you've got a clear record of exactly where every student stands, making the whole process faster and easier to manage.
