Boilerplate

One line
DanceSeekers is the living map of social dance across the U.S. and Canada — every verified salsa, bachata, swing, tango, country, and contra night in one place, free for dancers.
Short paragraph
DanceSeekers is the living map of social dance across the U.S. and Canada. Dance scenes grew up on social media and then got buried by it — the night you'd love is hidden in a Facebook group or an Instagram story. DanceSeekers puts every social dance night on one verified map: where to dance, what music plays, whether beginners are welcome. Listings are checked at the source and labeled with how fresh they are. Free for dancers, built by dancers — founded by Manuel Avila in West Michigan in 2026.

Story angles

  • Discovery after social media. Dance scenes are thriving, but finding them means archaeology across Facebook groups and Instagram stories. What it takes to rebuild public discovery for real-world communities.
  • Verified, in the AI era. As generated content floods the web, DanceSeekers checks listings at the source and labels what it knows and doesn't — a bet that trust is the product. The methodology is public at /sourcing.
  • The founder's floor. Manuel Avila moved from Querétaro, Mexico to Michigan at 14 without English, found belonging on dance floors, ran West Michigan Latin Dance, and built the map he wished existed. The long version is on the about page.
