Dance Studio cash flow forecast for the next 13 weeks

A dance studio forecast follows the season. Tuition, costumes, the recital and summer camp each have their own months.

Getting the forecast right for a dance studio

Put costume orders in the week you pay the supplier.
Put recital theater costs and ticket revenue in their exact weeks.
Lower tuition for summer weeks to match last year.

An example

In January a studio pays $18,000 for costumes it collected from parents in October and November. In May it pays the theater deposit. In June, ticket sales come in and tuition drops for summer. The forecast puts each one in its week, so the fall balance is not mistaken for spare cash.

What to watch

Costume fees collected against orders still to pay
Summer enrollment against last year
Families behind on tuition drafts
