Getting Started
1. Create your studio
Sign up at www.bailaya.com and complete the studio setup wizard. You will be asked for:
- Studio name and address
- Time zone (used for all class scheduling)
- Default currency
- Dance types you offer (Salsa, Bachata, Cumbia, etc.)
2. Invite your team
Go to Settings → Team to invite instructors and staff. Each team member can be assigned one or more roles:
| Role | Access |
|---|---|
| Owner | Full access including billing and payment configuration |
| Staff | Classes, students, attendance, packages |
| Instructor | Own class schedule and attendance only |
3. Set up rooms
If your studio has multiple rooms, add them under Settings → Rooms. Rooms can then be assigned to individual classes to prevent double-booking.
4. Schedule your first class
Go to Classes → New Class and fill in:
- Dance type — must match one of your configured studio types
- Level — Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, or General
- Day of week and time
- Start date — the first occurrence
- End date (optional) — leave blank for an ongoing class
- Instructor and room (optional)
- Price (optional) — leave blank for free
5. Add your first student
Go to Students → New Student and enter their name and email. Students can also register themselves through the guest booking checkout.
