Ohio has a 0-3.75% income tax. Progressive income tax up to 3.75% (first $26K exempt). Many cities have local income taxes (1-2.5%). Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati are primary markets. Moderate cost of living.
When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $636/year software expense is partially deductible — but Nexa at $279 once is a one-time deduction that eliminates the recurring expense entirely.
Whether you call it billing, a system for jobs, or a invoicing system — most hip hop dance instructors in Canton patch together Acuity Scheduling, Vagaro, Square, Calendly and other tools. That's $636/year in subscriptions. Within 5 years at today's prices, that bill reaches $3,180.
With Nexa, you own your business software. Your CRM, billing, appointment management, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — under one roof in a single system. One drag books a client. One drag generates an invoice. No duplicate data entry. No middleware. Zero integration overhead. It's a no subscription — eliminate recurring fees right away. For hip hop dance instructors in Canton 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 show up with my laptop and the playlist already built, because half the job is the music. First class is the kids' rec crew, so every track is a clean radio edit and the combo is simple enough that the eight-year-olds can hit the freeze. I break the choreo into pieces, drill the count, then run it full-speed with the mirror. Teen class comes in hungry to learn the combo they saw on Instagram, so I teach it tighter and film it so they can practice at home. Mid-day I'm in an empty studio choreographing the competition team's new piece, building eight-counts, scrapping a section that doesn't hit, re-cutting the music so the beat drops where the formation changes. Evening is the comp team itself: I run them till the formations are clean and the hits are sharp. Between classes people drop in off the street for the open class, and I'm trying to remember who has a punch card and who owes me at the door. I leave with footage to edit, a workshop next weekend I haven't invoiced for, and a track for the new piece still half-cut on my laptop.
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 hip hop dance 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 hip hop dance 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.
