Project Overview

Context

Most dance events focus on volume rather than quality, leading to fragmented learning and limited long-term engagement.

The opportunity was to design a high-quality, curated experience that combines learning, community, and progression.

My Role

Founder and product lead, responsible for end-to-end design, growth, and delivery.

  • Designed the full product experience (curriculum, tracks, pricing, community model)

  • Built a curated selection and onboarding process to maintain quality

  • Scaled the event to 400+ participants from 40+ countries

  • Generated ~1,000 applications within the first hour of launch

  • Iterated the product annually based on user feedback and behaviour

  • Expanded into digital content and community engagement beyond the event

Key Highlights

Impact

  • High retention and repeat participation across years

  • Strong global community with participants from 40+ countries

  • Proven demand with applications exceeding capacity

  • Sustainable business model combining experience and content

Why this matters

Designing products isn’t just about interfaces, it’s about behaviour, community, and value creation.

This work shows how product thinking can be applied beyond traditional tech to build scalable, meaningful experiences.
