Fred Astaire Dance Studios — Regional Network
Guest Coach Claiming — Simple and Fair.
One shared calendar where every studio in the region books guest coaches. Ranked preferences and a rotating queue keep it fair — no more first-come-first-served chaos.
Request access for your studio — approved by your Regional Office.
How it works
Plain language, four simple steps.
No spreadsheets, no reply-all threads, no "who called it first." Just a clear process everyone can see and trust.
The Regional Office publishes dates
Each guest coach's available dates go up on one shared calendar. Every studio sees the same picture at the same time.
Studios rank what they want
Instead of racing to grab, each studio quietly ranks the dates that matter most to them.
A rotating queue resolves fairly
When two studios want the same date, the rotating queue breaks the tie — so every studio gets first pick in turn, over time.
Leftovers open for a quick claim
Any date no one ranked becomes instantly claimable — no rank cost, no waiting, no group-chat scramble.
Everyone plays by the same rules, and the rules favor the studio that waited longest — not the one who messaged first.
