WeDance is a dance-community platform — and a small organization run in the open with Sociocracy 3.0. This is our living doc: why we exist, how we decide, who does what, and where we are right now.
Festival information — schedules, lineups, class levels, logistics — is scattered across Instagram stories, WhatsApp groups, Facebook events, and organizer websites. Dancers piece it together by hand before every event, unsure whether it fits their level, budget, and goals. That pre-event uncertainty makes it hard to commit.
No single source. No way to self-assess style, level, atmosphere, or budget before buying. So they delay, decide late, or skip events entirely.
No early visibility into who is actually coming, what they need, or whether the offer matches demand — until it's too late to adjust.
Dancers see the true picture — not marketing — and judge which festival actually fits them.
Every event, per city, kept current — without relying on insider knowledge or a dozen channels.
Build a personal festival plan — classes, partners, logistics — so you arrive ready, not lost against the wall.
And for organizers: reach the right audience with real visibility into impact — turning scattered promotion into measurable demand.
The whole platform rests on one assumption: dancers will use a digital interactive schedule instead of static images. If that's false, nothing else matters — so we test it at one real festival before building anything on top.
Validate discovery: upload a real festival's schedule, measure whether dancers use it, then take the data back to the organizer. Tests B2C and B2B at once.
● Current phaseLayer on social coordination — rides, rooms, meals, partner matching — to deepen engagement and test willingness to pay.
NextAggregate every event per city; connect artists and venues with organizers. Activates once the foundation is proven.
DormantOne owner — Alex Razbakov — delegates operational domains to a team, several of them run day-to-day by AI agents. Seven principles keep it honest.
Validate the interactive festival schedule — the first experiment.
Aggregate events per city — the single source for dancers.
Connect artists and venues with organizers.
The 2026 app runs on real migrated data — thousands of dancers, venues, artists and organizers across Europe — not mock content. Sign-in, city directories, and profiles are live at 2026.wedance.vip.
Every promise on the site is tracked as a user story, mapped to a Critical User Journey and scored by value-vs-effort — an honest, prioritized picture of what's built and what's next.
The one thing we don't fake: fresh events. Upcoming schedules come from real organizers publishing — which is exactly what the Festival-Schedule experiment is here to prove.
We run in the open. Most circles are scaffolded day-to-day by AI agents — an open role means a human can take one over or work alongside it. Pick a circle, take a first issue, and if it fits we consent you into the role. No CV, no cover letter — what you ship is the application.
Prove dancers will use an interactive festival schedule — the foundation experiment. Open: organizer-partnerships lead, frontend engineer.
Bring the audience and tell the story clearly enough that people want in. Open: content / marketing lead, designer.
Aggregate every event per city — the single source for dancers. Wakes up once the foundation experiment is proven.
Connect artists and venues with organizers. Activates once the foundation is proven and Discovery feeds real supply.
Circles live in the open on GitHub — the single source of truth. Edit there, not here.
Whether you organize festivals, teach, build, or just dance — there's a place to plug in.
