Your dance scene, in one app. DanceMate connects dancers with the studios, classes, and socials happening around them — and gives studio owners the tools to run their whole operation without spreadsheets. FOR DANCERS Stop hunting through Facebook groups and WhatsApp chats. DanceMate shows you every bachata, salsa, kizomba, and Latin dance class near you in one place. - Browse studios and see real schedules, not outdated flyers - Book a class or reserve your spot at a social in seconds - Track your passes, packages, and class history automatically - Get notified the moment a class fills up or a schedule changes - See what other dancers say about a studio before you go FOR STUDIO OWNERS Run your studio the way you actually teach — not the way generic gym software assumes you do. DanceMate is built specifically for adult social dance studios: no kids'-ballet workflows, no features you'll never use. - Manage attendance, passes, and memberships in one dashboard - See retention and drop-off before you lose a student, not after - Send schedule updates and announcements that actually reach your dancers - Get discovered by new students already looking for classes in your city - Keep your own payment processor — DanceMate never touches your money Join as a founding partner and get full access free, with discounted pricing after launch. WHY DANCE MATE We built DanceMate around one belief: adult social dancers and the studios that teach them deserve better tools than what's out there today. No payment lock-in. No bloated features borrowed from yoga studios or kids' academies. Just a faster way to find your next class — and a simpler way to run one.
