Texas has no state income tax. Every dollar you save on software stays in your pocket. The $357 annual savings from switching to Nexa is real money — not reduced by state taxes.
Whether you call it invoicing, a app for jobs, or a invoicing system — most ballet instructors in Brownsville stitch together Acuity Scheduling, Vagaro, Square, Calendly and other monthly services. That's $636/year in tool subscriptions. Over 5 years at today's prices, that stack costs $3,180.
Nexa gives you the ability to stop renting software. Your CRM, invoicing, calendar tool, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — in a single app. One move books a client. One move generates an invoice. No manual re-entry. No Zapier. No sync fees. It's a one-time purchase — stop overpaying the moment you switch. For ballet instructors in Brownsville weighing the switch, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the migration window — you can run Nexa in parallel with your existing subscriptions, verify the workflow handles your real client load, and only cancel the monthly tools once you are confident the data and processes have settled in.
I'm at the studio early to sweep the marley and set the barres, then mop because rosin dust gets everywhere. First class is the little ones, all in pink, and we spend forty minutes on first position, plies, and pretending to be butterflies to teach port de bras. Adult open class follows and the energy completely flips: grown women who danced as kids, careful of their knees, asking me to slow the tendu combination down. Mid-afternoon is my pointe class, and before we lace up I check who actually has clearance because I won't risk an unprepared ankle on a releve. We work the center, I demonstrate the adagio, and I'm correcting turnout one hip at a time down the line. Between classes I'm fitting a new pair of pointe shoes for a student who's grown half a size, marking the box, and writing down the order. Evening is the pre-professional teens working a variation for the spring showcase. After the last reverence I'm tallying costume sizes for the recital, fielding parent texts about tuition, and reminding myself I still haven't placed the group pointe-shoe order.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a ballet instructor's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a ballet instructor — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
