I run Larry's School of Ballet across 5 locations. After years of booking chaos, I built the solution I desperately needed - and discovered it's perfect for Pilates studios too.
Running a multi-location movement studio taught me what booking software should actually do
Managing bookings across 5 ballet school locations was overwhelming. Coordinating instructors, tracking class capacity, handling schedule changes, managing equipment - all while trying to teach classes myself. Generic booking software didn't understand how movement studios actually work.
As both a software engineer and the owner of 5 ballet school locations, I faced a unique challenge. When I couldn't find booking software that truly understood the complexities of running a multi-location movement studio, I leveraged my technical skills to build the solution myself. This wasn't just a side project - it became the mission-critical booking system powering all 5 locations of Larry's School of Ballet.
I'm not claiming to have hundreds of customers or a thriving community. What I have is a working platform that solves real problems, built by someone who faces these challenges every single day.
Because I discovered Pilates studios face even more intense booking challenges
Running Larry's School of Ballet taught me multi-location operations, instructor coordination, and client relationship management. Ballet classes happen weekly on set schedules - complex, but predictable.
While building this platform, I discovered Pilates and Gyrotonic studios have EVEN MORE complex booking needs:
Built and used across 5 ballet school locations that also offer Pilates. The platform handles equipment-aware scheduling, dense 1:1 calendars, multi-modality workflows, waitlists, and constant changes—exactly what Pilates demands.
Why being both a studio owner and developer matters
I understand the daily reality of running movement studios. Lost bookings during class time. Double-booked spaces. Instructor coordination across locations. Client relationships that make or break retention. These aren't theoretical problems - I live them.
I can actually build solutions to these problems. Every feature exists because I needed it. Every workflow reflects how studios actually operate. No guessing, no assumptions - just solving real problems I face.
Pepperoni Booking is the primary system across all 5 locations of Larry's School of Ballet. I'm not selling software I don't use - I'm inviting you to use what I've built for myself.
