Connect Your Studio.
Protect Your Dancers.
DanceLoop is the modern, secure dance studio communication platform that puts dancer privacy first. Share moments, communicate with parents, and build community—without compromising data.
Your Dancers Deserve Better
Many studio management apps prioritize profits over privacy. Here's what they don't tell you.
Data Monetization
Some platforms collect and analyze dancer data to build profiles that can be used for targeted advertising and sold to third parties.
Activity Tracking
Gamified systems can create permanent digital records of children's activity data that follow them for years—often without parental knowledge.
Hidden Costs
"Free" apps often come with hidden costs: premium feature paywalls, in-app purchases, and the invisible cost of your data.
Everything You Need to Connect
DanceLoop gives instructors powerful tools to share, communicate, and engage—all while keeping dancer data safe and secure.
Studio Stories
Share photos, videos, and updates with parents in real-time. Capture special moments and keep families connected to studio life.

Built for Trust. Hardened for Production.
DanceLoop is built from the ground up with security and privacy as core principles—not afterthoughts. Every layer of the stack is hardened to protect your dancers.
AES-256 Token Encryption
All OAuth tokens and sensitive credentials encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Versioned keys with automated rotation support.
COPPA Compliant
Full compliance with COPPA. Dancer data is never monetized, profiled, or shared with third parties. Parental consent is always required.
Schema-Validated Inputs
Every API request is validated against strict Zod schemas. SQL injection, XSS, and malformed data blocked at the boundary.
Zero Ads. Zero Tracking.
No ads, no tracking pixels, no behavioral profiling, no third-party analytics. Just a clean, private experience.
Row-Level Security
PostgreSQL RLS policies enforce data isolation at the database level. Instructors see only their classes, parents only their dancers.
Rate Limiting Everywhere
IP-based and email-based rate limiting on every auth, admin, and sync endpoint. Automatic lockout on abuse detection.
PII-Masked Audit Logs
Complete audit trails with automatic email and identity masking. Logs are compliant and never expose dancer data.
Secure Authentication
Industry-standard authentication with PKCE OAuth flows for mobile sign-in. Anti-replay nonces harden against token interception.

GPG-Signed Backups
Database backups are encrypted and GPG-signed with signature verification on restore. Tamper-proof disaster recovery.
Automated Secret Scanning
Gitleaks runs on every pull request to catch leaked credentials before they reach production. Zero tolerance for exposed secrets.
