“We had 3 recitals with over 350 students and this was the most efficient system imaginable for our show day. Parents thanked us many times for prioritizing children safety. The staff and volunteers loved the organization and features of the app, with the multiple dressing rooms, 3 shows a day, the ability to upload the show order and know which dancers are in which song, we will never do a show without it again!”
Hope Powell
Owner/Director, The Academy of Dance & Acrobatics
“We used it for our holiday show and love it! Our parents were impressed by getting texts of when they are checked in/out. They felt so secure and safe! We also loved the alerts that we set up. We have a few medical alerts that are super important (severe allergies, type 1 diabetes) for everybody to know. Those helped everybody stay on the same page even when they don’t know each specific kid. Highly recommend!!!”
Kahli Zeigler
Owner/Director, Elevation Dance Company
“We did 5 shows in one day, and parents commented on how organized and professional the check-in and check-out process was for every show. Using Check In QR codes through our Jackrabbit database caused our app downloads to surge. We could not be happier with the experience.”
Ryan Justus
Owner/Director, Dance/10 Performing Arts Center
“Love ShowSculptor to organize backstage. We used it for our Holiday Show and it was easy to check kids in, text missing students right from the app, includes pictures of students and so much more! It has so many features it was truly a lifesaver backstage during our Holiday Show!”

Everything in its place
Bringing every element of your performance seamlessly together
ShowSculptor, formerly known as Check In Pointe, was created in 2017 by Joe Naftal to solve a backstage challenge at his own dance studio: quickly and efficiently checking dancers in and out during performances. Recognizing the need across the dance industry for better performance management tools, Check In Pointe launched as a commercial product in 2019. Over the years, it has evolved into a comprehensive platform serving over 300 studios worldwide, offering solutions for show planning, backstage management, costume coordination, and more. Rebranded as ShowSculptor in 2024, the platform reflects its expanded capabilities and commitment to empowering studios with tools that shape every aspect of performance planning and execution.

01
Stage Manager
ShowSculptor's premium Stage Manager feature puts your stage manager in complete control. Call the show from a digital call script that holds every detail: the dancers in each routine, their starting and ending positions, and all lighting, sound, video, and prop cues. Run every performance with confidence and precision.
02
Wardrobe Supervisor
ShowSculptor's premium Wardrobe Supervisor feature gives dressing room managers a complete view of every costume change, including how many dances each performer has between changes. See what needs to happen and when, so every dancer is ready for their next routine and your dressing room runs without last-minute stress.
03
Show Status Display
ShowSculptor's Show Status Display keeps everyone in the loop. Backstage monitors show the dance currently on stage and what's coming up next, updated live by the stage manager, so dancers, crew, and staff always know where the show stands and are ready for their moment.
04
Light Lab
ShowSculptor's Light Lab lets you design your show's lighting before you ever set foot in the theater. Build looks with front, back, and side light, experiment with color and mood, and see a realistic preview of each moment on stage. Then share the picture with your lighting designer so everyone walks into tech week already on the same page.

Get StartedWhat is ShowSculptor?
Show and recital management software built for dance studios. It covers everything from the first costume pick to the final bow: planning, costumes, check-in, dressing rooms, parent communication and running the show.
Does it replace my studio management software?
No. Keep Jackrabbit, Akada or Dance Studio-Pro for classes and billing. Import your roster into ShowSculptor and it handles everything about your shows.
What do I need to use it?
Any phone, tablet or computer with a web browser and an internet connection. There's nothing to download or install.
Which plan is right for my studio?
Start free with costume planning. Essentials covers show day: check-in and check-out, dressing rooms, messaging and reports. Production Pro adds every Encore and planning tool, including Stage Manager, Light Lab, the Performer Portal and the Show Assignments Builder.
Are there limits on shows, dancers or devices?
No. Every paid plan includes unlimited shows, dancers and devices.
How does billing work?
Plans are billed once a year, when you sign up. They renew automatically on your signup anniversary unless you cancel.
Can my teachers and staff use it too?
Yes. Teachers get their own logins to fill in their routines, and staff and volunteers can work from their own phones or tablets.
How long does setup take?
Import your dancers from your studio software or Excel in minutes. Most studios have their first show set up in an afternoon.
