Instagram posts for dance schools: what to post and when
A dance school fills classes with a clear timetable, a first class that doesn't feel intimidating and the end-of-year show everyone waits for. Here are ideas for the week, the best times to post for education according to two public studies and the Feedmakers features that make each post.
What to post
- The class timetable by style and age, in one image
- A free trial class: when it is and what to wear
- Who teaches each style
- Enrollment dates and monthly fees
- The end-of-year show: date, place and tickets
- A step explained, for students to practice at home
- Classes for adults who never danced
- Workshops with guest teachers, with dates and spots
When to post
For dance schools we use the education data.

Frequently asked questions
Can I post the whole timetable in one image?
Yes. You can type the days, the times and the styles yourself and they go inside the image. An image model draws them and can make mistakes, so check them before you post.
Can it make a video for the show?
Yes. Turn any finished piece into a short video you can download and post as a reel or a story.
Does it follow my school's style?
Yes. Upload your posts and logo once, and every new piece follows how they're built: the palette, the type and how photo and text mix.
How much does each post cost?
1 credit per image on Fast, 3 on Standard and 6 on High, and credits are only charged when the image comes out right. The caption doesn't spend credits.
