What it does
Dance studios have a specific set of things to publish: weekly class schedules, recitals and workshops, and the teachers who lead each class. A general business theme leaves you building those pieces from scratch. This theme ships with layouts for timetables, upcoming events and dancer and trainer profile pages, so the core content of a studio site already has a place to live. It suits contemporary dance schools and classical ballet studios alike, and it includes custom calls to action you can point toward enrollment or contact.
Pages are built with WPBakery Page Builder, which uses a drag and drop interface, so you can adjust layouts without writing code. Slider Revolution is included for header sliders that feature events, promotions or gallery images. A one-click demo import loads the predefined layouts as a starting point. The design is responsive and retina ready, and you can set up custom sidebars for different pages. Dropbeat is also compatible with WooCommerce for selling merchandise, tickets or class packages, and it is WPML ready for multilingual sites.
