For salsa, bachata and Latin dance nights
Salsa, bachata, kizomba and Latin nights are usually a class followed by a social, at a bar or hall, with partners sharing passes and a bundle price for class-plus-party. ClassMetrix runs that door on a phone: the class roll and the social one tap apart, a bundle rule the door can see and say, shared passes, and a money page that shows what the night made after the venue, the DJ and the teachers.
What a Latin night needs
- Class, then social. Two rolls for one night. The class at 7:30, the party from 9. Someone who did the class is already on the list for the party.
- A bundle price. "Class + social $35, social alone $15." A rule the door can see, not a sum at the door.
- Levels on the same night. Beginner and Improver in two rooms, or back to back. Each with its own roll, teachers and cost, so you know which level pays.
- Partners sharing a pass. One 10-class pass, two people.
- A DJ or a band. A one-off cost against the night, so the party's profit is honest. Band nights at their own price, "no passes tonight" if you like.
- A venue that isn't yours. A bar that takes a cut, or a hall at a flat hire. The venue cost on each night.

Questions
How do I charge for a salsa class plus the social afterwards?
A bundle: one price for the class and the party ($35, say), a lower price for the party alone. Write it as a rule so the door sees "class + social $35" as a button, with the reason. People who were at the class are already on the roll, so the party check-in is one tap.
Can partners share a pass at a salsa class?
Yes. One pass, both people, both punches recorded against it. The door picks the partner's pass from the list of passes belonging to people here tonight.
How do I know if the Tuesday salsa night makes money?
Takings for the night (class and party, after passes and bundles) minus the venue, the DJ or band, and the teachers. ClassMetrix works this out per night and per month, with the DJ as a one-off cost against the night.
