Everything you give your dancers is in six different places.
Communities makes it one.
Where you’ll be next. Feedback on the video they sent from Saturday. A live hour when they need one. Your private rate. You decide what’s in it, they pay you monthly for it, and none of it lives in a DM thread any more.
Pick a time that works. I’ll show you what’s built, and you tell me where it falls apart for how you actually run things.

You choose what goes in
A membership is whatever you actually give them.
Pick the pieces, set the numbers, and change your mind next month. Your dancers see whatever you pick as one thing, your circle. Here’s what can go in it.
Feedback on the videos they send you
The one they’ll actually use
A dancer films a social on Saturday night and sends you the video, whether it is one song or a longer recording. You watch it when you have time and leave notes pinned to the exact moments they should revisit. The notes stay with them.
This works because the review does not require another appointment. The dancer sends what actually happened, and you respond when you have room for it.
Classes you taught at festivals and weekenders
In DanceSanctum
If a festival or weekender recorded your class or masterclass, grant members access to the ones you choose. They watch them in DanceSanctum, the same place dancers use for event videos and the media they’ve collected.
Every date you’re teaching, in one place, so the people already paying you attention aren’t scrolling Instagram to work out where you’ll be. They’re the ones who travel for the workshop.
Live one-on-one time
When a video review is not enough, offer an hour through your Abrazo calendar. It reserves the time and sends both of you a confirmation. The first version stops there.
Your private rate
Members book you cheaper, and the rate applies when they book. There’s no code to remember or math to do at the door. A participating organizer can offer your members an account-bound event rate too.
Whatever else you promise
A monthly drill. First pick of workshop spots. The playlist you actually use. Write your own lines, and they show up on your page exactly as you typed them.
The actual problem
Your dancers are following you in five apps.
None of them know about each other, and none of them can tell you who’s paid up.

The part that compounds: everything a dancer gets stays on their own Abrazo account. Someone who still has every note you gave them has a reason to come back to you.
The Abrazo vision
One dancer. Many artists. One connected dance network.
Communities starts with a direct membership between one artist and one dancer. Abrazo gives that dancer a portable home for every artist they learn from, then gives artists a way to shape how their communities connect.
Why it matters
Dance never stays inside one silo.
Dancers learn from several people, travel between scenes, and carry ideas from one room into the next. Most membership products treat every artist relationship as a fresh start. Abrazo can represent the network dancers are already building in real life.
1A direct artist membershipThe artist sets the offer, earns the revenue, and owns every promise made to the dancer.2One portable dancer profileThe dancer carries their memberships, reviews, bookings, and artist relationships across Abrazo.3A network artists can shapeArtists choose how their communities relate, creating room for introductions, gifts, reciprocal benefits, and collectives.
That is the direction: connected communities with artist control and dancer consent. We are still designing the exact gift, eligibility, funding, capacity, and refund rules before turning those possibilities into product commitments.
What I’ve left alone, on purpose.
You already have tools that do these well. I’d rather spend the pilot on the parts they cannot connect.
−Your group chatSkool, WhatsApp, wherever your people already talk. Keep it.
−Your course libraryCommunities can surface the DanceSanctum videos you choose. Keep the course platform you already use.
−Tiers and trialsOne membership at one price to start, until we know what a second tier is for.
−Coaches other than youEvery review comes to you. Handing one to an assistant comes later.
−Members meeting each otherNobody sees the other members. If your people want that, say so.
These are deliberate pilot boundaries. Tell me on the call which one actually matters for how you work, and it moves up the list.
I’m starting with a few artists.
I’m building the first version around how a few artists actually work. The first artists will have my number the whole way through. If that sounds like you, the fastest first step is twenty minutes on a call.
Founding artists
Talk it through.
Twenty minutes. I’ll show you what’s built, you tell me where it breaks for how you actually work, and we’ll both know if it’s a fit.
Rather write first?
What Abrazo charges for this isn’t decided yet. I’ll tell you the number before you take a dollar through it, directly.
