Boilerplate
Dance Seekers is a free site and app that lists social dance events across the U.S., Canada and beyond, with times checked at the source.
Dance Seekers is a free site and app that lists social dance events across the U.S., Canada and beyond, with times checked at the source. 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. Each listing says where the night is, what music plays, and whether beginners are welcome, and is labeled with how fresh it is. Free for 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, Dance Seekers checks listings at the source and labels what it knows and what it doesn't. The bet is 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 his footing on dance floors, ran West Michigan Latin Dance, and built the map he wished existed. The long version is on the about page.
