Every rehearsal change reaches every family

Call times move, costumes get added, and the group text loses half of it. ClassDojo puts schedules, reminders, sign-ups, and backstage photos in one free app your families already have.

“It's really important that we're able to directly communicate in a way that aligns with our mission and vision with our families — and ClassDojo allows us to do that instantly.”

What families miss between the first rehearsal and opening night

Parents drop off at rehearsal and then see the show at the end. With ClassDojo, your teaching artists share a photo from the run-through, a note about the costume piece they need Friday, and the new call time, all in the app families already check.

Frequently asked questions

Is ClassDojo free for our performing arts program?
Yes. ClassDojo is free for your program, your teaching artists, and your families. ClassDojo offers optional services directly to families, like ClassDojo Plus and Dojo Tutor, and that's what keeps it free for everyone else. We never sell personal information, and we never share it with advertisers.

Which age groups does ClassDojo work for?
Programs use ClassDojo with every age they serve, from early years through teens. Staff choose what each group sees, so the experience fits the kids in the room.

How do our staff get set up?
Directors, teaching artists and guest choreographers each create an account and set up their group in a few minutes. Someone who joins for one production can be set up the day they arrive.

How do families join?
Staff share an invite link or code, and families connect from the free app on their phone. Many families already use ClassDojo with their child's school, so there's often nothing new to download at all.

How is our program's data protected?
Your program's information belongs to your program. ClassDojo is COPPA-compliant, never sells personal information, and never shares it with advertisers — see our privacy and security page for the full detail.

Our families already use ClassDojo at school. Do they need anything new?
No. They connect to your program from the same free app they already have, so your updates land right alongside their school's. Nothing new to download, and no second password to remember.

Can we message one cast without messaging the whole program?
Yes. Each production or class is its own group, so a note about Friday's tech call goes only to that cast, and a season announcement can still reach everyone at once.
