We are here to uphold this unique human tendency, this short-lived existence where music, movement and connection become one.
Hopefully, through our efforts, both the number and the length of such experiences will increase, more people will look into each other's smiling eyes and lose the worries of the world for those moments.
DanceAway is a platform meant to use the best of modern technology to uphold dancing in any and every possible way.
To highlight and contrast the many existing and emerging dance styles.
To let dance enthusiasts find each other and dancing possibilities.
To bring focus to the many elements and benefits of solo and partner dance styles.
It is an attempt at using technology the right way, which is to enable humans to be more humane.
It is also a trial ground for creating a fair and holistic organization, because a company that wants to bring happiness to the world needs to do that for its own people first.
Lastly, it is also an attempt at realizing a dream of the few involved, to invest labor of love so we can have a career that is more soulful than goal oriented.
Dance has given us so much and can yet give us so much more if we let it into our lives.
It forces us to risk looking foolish, teaches us to take ourselves less seriously and to sacrifice hubris in favor of learning and growth.
It gives us an interesting area of study while allowing our bodies exercise through natural movement and our brains to develop new neural pathways.
It allows us to have the love of admirers and a sense of achievement that does not depend on anything but the person themselves.
We at DanceAway believe dancing deserves more attention, study and recognition from society than it gets.
We believe that the long-term mental and physical health benefits of dance are underappreciated.
We believe that there are interesting stories to be shared from among the many dance journeys undertaken by people.
So, dear dance lover, help us help you!
Beyond the basics of music, movement and fun, we are conscious of the history and evolution of various partner and solo dance styles from across the world. Each of these are beautiful in their own way!

The Mobile App (in development)
You can find partner dances like the evergeen Salsa or the new Bachata Sensual as well as empowering solo dances like Contemporary or Afro-house, among others, on our platform. We plan on supporting ALL of them! Our platform is built in such a way that supporting a new dance style would be a matter of days if not less. So, reach out to us if you are enthusiastic about a dance style you like but do not find it on our platform.
Besides the dance styles, we recognize a few aspects of dancing that are common across most if not all dance styles. These include things like musicality, technique and partnerwork. You can find ways to give each other feedback around these aspects on the platform and get help in improving these aspects of your dancing.
