Extended listings

A free listing gives the basics. An extended listing lets a studio tell its story: a video, photos, its teachers, what students say, and every class in one place, featured at the top of its city.

An idea we're exploring, not live yet. Basic listings will always be free. We're exploring an optional extended listing, and we'd love your thoughts before deciding anything. These two samples show what one could look like. Details come from each studio's own website (checked Oct 14, 2026); dashed boxes show where the studio would add its own video, photos and student words.

Would this help you?

If you run a studio, class, social or venue, we'd love your honest thoughts. Basic listings stay free; this is an optional idea we're still shaping.

1. Would an extended listing help you attract students or attendees?

2. Which features would make it worth paying for? (choose any)

3. What monthly price, if any, would feel reasonable?
