Do I have to switch from Mindbody to use Bailar?

No. Run both side-by-side. Use Bailar for discovery and free scheduling; cancel Mindbody when you're ready, not before.

Mindbody is on millions of phones already. Why would I add another app?

Mindbody is checkout software. Bailar is discovery. Latin dancers don't open Mindbody to find Friday night socials. Bailar is where they look first.

What does Bailar cost?

Free $0/mo — keep 100% of every ticket; Bailar's flat 2.5% platform fee is on the buyer's checkout, same on every tier. Pro $29/mo, Elite $79/mo for the SaaS toolkit. First 100 claims get 90 days of Pro free, then $29/mo; after that a 14-day Pro trial.

Who owns my student data on Bailar?

You do. Export your student and class data as CSV anytime, at no charge. Not gated behind a tier.

How does claiming work?

Search for your studio, tap claim, verify via website email or phone callback. Approved within 24 hours. No card.

Different jobs

Mindbody and Bailar do different jobs.

Mindbody is back-office checkout software for broad fitness, with multi-location franchise tooling and HR/payroll integrations. Bailar is the discovery layer for adult Latin social dance — public profiles, reviews, DMs, and event publishing. If you need franchise and payroll tooling, Mindbody is the more mature choice. If you teach Latin dance and want to be found, that’s us. Plenty of studios run both.

What it costs

Free to start. Optional tools when you grow.

Free to list, and your studio keeps 100% of every ticket. Bailar charges a flat 2.5% platform fee on the buyer’s checkout — the same on every tier. Subscriptions add the SaaS toolkit, not a ticket discount.

Common questions

From studio owners weighing it up.

No. Run both side-by-side for as long as you want. Use Bailar for discovery, reviews, DMs, and free schedule publishing; keep Mindbody for whatever you're already paying it for. Cancel Mindbody when you're ready, not before.
