Membrero, for dance schools, music schools, studios and clubs

Fill your classes. Not your evenings.

Membrero handles the registrations, the payments and the parents' emails, and helps new students find you. So your time goes to the people in the room.

You talk to Sven, who teaches tango in Brussels. Not to a sales team.

Hanne asks if Lotte can move up a group. Your answer is drafted.

An ordinary Tuesday evening, as an example

A school is the people in it.

The beginner who almost didn't come back. The regulars who stay for a drink. The parent who writes at ten at night. That is what you run, and that is what Membrero is built around: not a database of members, but people you want to keep seeing.

A week in your school, with Membrero.

No modules to learn. These are the moments it takes off your hands.

  • Monday, 22:40

    A parent emails after class. The reply is already written, in their language, with the right times and prices in it. You read it and press send.

  • Wednesday

    Three people found your school on Google and booked a trial lesson online. You didn't have to answer a single message to make it happen.

  • Thursday, at the door

    You scan students in at the door with any phone or tablet. You see who is new tonight, and who is on the last lesson of their card, so you can say hello by name.

  • Any time

    Students book, pay and check their own card on their own page. Fewer "can you tell me…" messages at 23:40.

  • End of the month

    Late payments have had a polite reminder. Your accountant gets one clean file. Nothing to copy into a spreadsheet.

The email you'd answer at 23:00 is already drafted.

Connect your school's mailbox and Membrero reads along. It knows who the student is, what they pay and which class has room, so it writes the reply the way you would. And it offers to do the thing they asked.

  • Nothing is sent until you press send. Ever.
  • It answers in the language the parent wrote in.
  • If a class is full, it says so. It doesn't make things up.

Nothing sent yet.

Most school software looks after the students you already have. Membrero also finds the next ones.

Filling a class is the hard part, and it usually happens at midnight, alone, with Instagram open. Membrero carries that half with you.

  1. 1

    They find you

    A website that builds itself from your real timetable, made to be found on Google when someone nearby searches for lessons.

  2. 2

    They try a class

    They book a trial lesson online, get a warm welcome email, and you see their name on your list before they walk in.

  3. 3

    They stay

    You see who hasn't come for three weeks, and write to them in a few clicks, before they quietly drift away.

A website that is never out of date.

Move a class and your website moves it too. Add a workshop and it's online. Your times, your prices and your free places, always right, without you touching a thing.

  • SEO: made to be found on Google for the lessons you teach, where you teach them.
  • Run your Meta ads from inside Membrero.
  • See which ad brought someone who actually paid, not just "reach".

Sven Breynaert, smiling, talking with students during a tango class in Brussels.
Sven, during a class at BE-TANGO.

Made by a teacher, not a software company.

My name is Sven. I teach tango in Brussels, at BE-TANGO. A few years ago the admin was eating my evenings: spreadsheets, payment links, the same email answered forty times.

I came from IT, so I built something for my own school. Then I noticed the harder problem: nothing helped me fill my classes. So I built that half too, the website, the ads, the emails to people who drifted away.

Then another school asked if they could use it. That's the whole story. No investors, no sales team. If you book a demo, you talk to me, and I'll tell you honestly if Membrero isn't right for you.

What it can't do yet.

Membrero is young. You should know what isn't there before you decide. We have no testimonials to show you yet, and we won't invent any. Ask, and Sven shows you BE-TANGO running on it, live.

A chatbot on your website

It's being built. For now, questions from your website land in your Membrero inbox, with a reply drafted.

A phone app in the stores

It's in closed beta. Today, your students' own page installs on their home screen and works like an app.

Moving over: we do it with you.

You won't be left with a login and good luck.

  1. 1

    Send your list

    A spreadsheet, or an export from whatever you use now. Messy is fine.

  2. 2

    Connect your mailbox

    Once. From then on, replies are drafted for you to approve.

  3. 3

    Add your timetable

    Times, rooms and prices. Your website builds itself from it.

A federation or a group of schools? Write to hello@membrero.com and we'll agree a price together.

Questions schools ask.

I'm not technical. Will I manage?

Yes. Membrero was built by a dance teacher for dance teachers, and we set it up with you. If you can use email, you can use Membrero.

Can I stop whenever I want?

Yes, at the end of any month. You can take a full export of your students and payments with you, no questions asked.

Where is my students' data kept?

On servers in the European Union, under the GDPR. It stays yours: we never sell it or use it for anything else.

Does it send emails on its own?

No. Membrero drafts replies and suggests emails, but nothing goes out until you press send.

Is it only for dance schools?

No. It started in a tango school, and today it adapts to 23 kinds of school and club: music, martial arts, yoga, sports, surf, swimming and more.

Come and meet us. Bring your timetable.

Half an hour, screen to screen. Bring a real email you're dreading, and see how Membrero would draft the answer.
