Do I have to switch from Mindbody (or WellnessLiving, or Jackrabbit)?

No. Run both side-by-side. Use Bailar for discovery, reviews, DMs, and schedule publishing; keep your existing checkout until you want to move payments over.

How do I migrate my existing roster?

Email your CSV export from Mindbody/WellnessLiving/Jackrabbit to paul@bailar.site. We migrate it for you within 48 hours, free for Founding-25.

What does Bailar charge per ticket?

Flat 2.5% buyer-side checkout fee on every Bailar event. $0 platform fee from organizer. Cheaper than Step, Eventbrite, Posh, Mindbody. Pro/Elite/Event Host subscriptions add SaaS features, not ticket discounts.

How does Bailar's pricing compare to what I pay now?

Mindbody is $139/mo + 23.5% take regardless of volume. Bailar is $0 platform fee, $0 monthly on Free; buyers pay 2.5% at checkout (flat, cheaper than every competitor). Pro $29/mo and Elite $79/mo add SaaS features without changing the per-ticket rate.

Who owns my student data?

You do. Export your student and class data as CSV anytime, at no charge.

What does dancer reach actually look like?

City search, style filters, nearby home feed, and events feed for every class or social you publish. RSVPs go straight to your studio inbox.

How does claiming work?

Search for your studio in the app, tap claim, verify via website email or phone callback. Most claims approved within 24 hours.

Embed widget

Your live calendar,
on the site you already have.

Drop one script tag into Squarespace, Wix, WordPress, Webflow — anywhere you can paste HTML. Your Bailar event calendar renders inline, auto-resizes, and links every event back to bailar.site for RSVPs and tickets. Free on every plan; Pro & Elite remove the Bailar footer and add custom light/dark + brand-accent theming.

Paste this where you want the calendar to appear

<div id="bailar-events"></div>
<script src="https://bailar.site/embed.js" defer></script>
<script>
  window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
    window.Bailar.embed({
      studioSlug: 'YOUR-STUDIO',
      view: 'calendar',
      root: '#bailar-events'
    });
  });
</script>

Replace YOUR-STUDIO with your studio’s URL slug (e.g. salsafit-miami-hialeah-fl). Available views: calendar (next 12), tonight, and next-3. CTAs deep-link with utm_source=embed so you can attribute traffic back to your site.

A note from the founder

You teach Latin dance. The tools you’re paying for were built for yoga chains.

Mindbody and WellnessLiving are great pieces of software. They’re also built for franchise studios with HR departments. If you run a salsa studio in Miami or a bachata school in San Diego, you’re paying for features you don’t use, in a UI nobody on your team enjoys, on an app your students will never download.

Bailar Studios is the opposite bet. We built the consumer side first — the app your students already open to find tonight’s social — and the studio side is just the panel that lets you show up there. Free forever for the first 25 Latin studios. No fine print, no “until we IPO,” no asterisk. If Bailar still exists in five years, your studio is still free.

— Paul, founder · paul@bailar.site
