Introducing Dretza Horizon
Run your studio week by week from one place.
Dance studios are full of moving parts: seasons to launch, groups to place, teachers to coordinate, families to keep informed, payments to track, and showcases to produce. Too often, that work still lives across spreadsheets, email threads, chat apps, and a handful of disconnected tools.
Dretza Horizon is the studio workspace built for that reality — a SaaS platform for dance studios (and other activity-based academies) that need to manage classes, people, groups, communication, media, and student progression without stitching everything together by hand.
One school. Shared truth. Role-specific work.
Owners, teachers, students, and parents do not need the same screen. They do need the same underlying season, group, calendar, and school information.
Horizon is designed around that idea:
- Owners and admins run seasons, enrollment, staffing, finance, and billing from one foundation.
- Teachers prepare and teach from group workspaces that keep calendar, announcements, choreography, media, lists, and assignments together.
- Students see what to practice, what changed, and what to bring before the next class.
- Parents and guardians follow schedules, notices, payments, and next steps — including for more than one child — without rebuilding the week from scattered messages.
Less manual coordination for everyone around the studio. More time for the work that actually matters.
What Horizon covers today
Horizon already goes well beyond basic class management. The main pillars stay connected to the same schools, seasons, groups, people, and roles:
Studio operations
Seasons, groups, people, invitations, schedules, placements, finance, and billing — the structure that lets a season start without recreating everything from scratch.
Group workspaces
Each class group becomes the home for overview, students, calendar, announcements, choreographies, videos, lists, and assignments. Context travels with the group, not in someone’s personal notes.
Calendar and events
School and group calendars with publishable events, so schedule changes and milestones stay visible where people already work.
Enrollment and family accounts
Published offerings, enrollment requests, orders, and payment context live beside daily operations — so acquisition and receivables are not a separate universe.
Communications and media
Messages, announcements, notifications (including web push), and a media library tied to groups and events. Practice videos, photos, and audio stay close to the class that needs them.
Showcase production
Shows, lineups, ticketing, crew, costumes, budget, checklists, and published programs. Showcase season builds on the groups, calendar, messages, and media already in Horizon.
Choreography and movement
A choreography library, 3D stage designer with formations and transitions, move catalog, and motion capture workflows — so creative preparation sits next to teaching and student practice, not outside the system.
Concrete outcomes, not another dashboard
When Horizon is in place, studios typically feel the difference in ordinary weeks:
- Season launch starts from one foundation instead of a pile of rebuilt lists and exceptions.
- Class week is easier to prepare, teach, and hand off to a substitute.
- Students show up more ready because assignments and practice media are findable.
- Families spend less time digging through email for a schedule, payment, or costume reminder.
- Showcase season stays aligned because production work is connected to the same school data.
The goal is simple: fewer tools becoming accidental sources of truth, and fewer people holding the whole studio in their heads.
Built for dance — ready for academies
Horizon is marketed first for dance studios, with bilingual support (French and English) and terminology that can also serve broader academies and activity-based programs. Whether you run recreational classes, competitive troupes, or mixed programs, the product centers on seasons, groups, people, and progression — the real operating model of a studio.

The horizon ahead
Class management was only the beginning. Horizon now brings school operations, class workspaces, media, communications, enrollment, showcases, and choreography into one experience — so studios can grow without multiplying side trackers.
If your team is tired of coordinating the week across five places, it may be time to run it from one.
