India's dance industry runs on trust built in person, reputation passed through WhatsApp groups, and connections that exist nowhere except someone's memory. A studio needs a trained hip hop dancer for an event on Saturday -- they message fifteen people and hope. A dancer relocates from Pune to Delhi and starts from zero, with no proof of anywhere they have ever worked. There has never been a single place where the Indian dance economy could actually find itself.
The StudioPartner Network changes that.
- The Network is a free, public talent marketplace at studiopartner.app/network -- open to any Indian dancer or studio.
- Artists get a verified portfolio at their own public URL with a permanent record of where they have worked.
- Studios can list themselves, post gigs, and receive applications -- even without a StudioPartner subscription.
- The credibility spine -- confirmed work history between a dancer and a studio -- is what makes this different from any job board.
- It is live now. Any dancer or studio owner can list in minutes.
What is the StudioPartner Network?
The StudioPartner Network is a public, two-sided talent marketplace built for the Indian dance economy. Dancers create professional portfolio profiles. Studios list themselves and post gigs. When a studio hires a dancer, that relationship is permanently recorded -- confirmed by both sides -- and appears on both public profiles as verified work history. No other platform in India does this for dance.
It lives at studiopartner.app/network and is completely open. Any dancer signs in with Google and builds their profile. Any studio owner does the same. No subscription required to list. The infrastructure is the same one that powers StudioPartner's studio management tools -- built for how the Indian dance industry actually works, not adapted from a Western product and bent to fit.
Why the Indian dance industry needs this now
Right now there is no professional infrastructure for the Indian dance economy. Hiring happens through personal contacts, Instagram DMs, and WhatsApp group forwards. A studio trying to find a qualified contemporary teacher for a new batch has no reliable way to search. A trained dancer trying to find work in a new city has no professional record to point to.
The result: good studios cannot find the right people, and good dancers are invisible outside their immediate circle. Work goes to whoever the right person happens to know -- not to whoever is actually the right fit.
India's performing arts sector employs over 3 million professionals yet operates almost entirely without formal hiring infrastructure. The Network is the first attempt to build that infrastructure specifically for dance.
The Indian dance industry has always run on who you know. The Network is what happens when who you know becomes something anyone can find.
What a dancer gets on the Network
A dancer on the Network gets a public profile at their own permanent URL -- studiopartner.app/artist/your-handle -- that travels with them forever. It is not a social media page. It is a professional portfolio: dance styles, availability status, experience, training history, video links, and contact information.
The most important part is the workplace claim system. A dancer searches for any studio they have worked with, sends a claim, and the studio confirms it. Once confirmed, it appears on both profiles as verified work history -- not a self-reported claim, but a mutual confirmation. A dancer's profile becomes a real professional record that speaks for itself in any city.
Every profile also generates a downloadable CV in PDF format -- structured experience, training, and achievements in one document a dancer can attach to any application or share with any choreographer.

What a studio gets on the Network
A studio gets a public page at studiopartner.app/studio/your-studio -- styles, city, team, and open gigs -- visible to every dancer on the platform. Studios post gigs with role, type, pay range, and description. Dancers apply with their full profile attached. No email chains, no chasing people across WhatsApp.
When a studio hires a dancer through the Network, that relationship is recorded permanently. The dancer appears on the studio's public team. The studio appears on the dancer's work history. This is the credibility spine -- an append-only, mutual record of who worked where. A studio that has confirmed fifteen relationships over two years has a public track record that means something when the next dancer is deciding where to apply.
Existing StudioPartner customers who manage their studio through the dashboard can post gigs directly from there without leaving the tool they already use.

How gigs work -- posting, applying, hiring
A studio posts a gig in under two minutes: role, gig type (per day, monthly, project, part-time), city, pay range, and a description. The gig appears immediately on studiopartner.app/network/gigs where every dancer on the platform can see it, filter by type, and apply.
A dancer applies with one tap -- their profile goes to the studio with everything already filled in. The studio reviews applicants, shortlists, and hires. When a dancer is marked as hired, the relationship is created automatically on both profiles. No external forms, no email back-and-forth, no losing track of who applied.
How to join the Network today

FAQs
Is the StudioPartner Network free to use?
Yes -- listing as a dancer or a studio is completely free. Any dancer can create a portfolio profile and any studio can list at no cost. StudioPartner's management tools for running a studio's day-to-day -- fees, attendance, batches, leads -- are a separate paid product starting at Rs. 999 per month with a 30-day free trial.
Do I need to be a StudioPartner customer to list my studio?
No. Any studio owner can list and post gigs on the Network without a subscription. If you later want to manage your studio's fees, batches, and students through the same platform, you can start a trial from the same account without starting over.
How does verified work history work?
A dancer searches for a studio they have worked with and sends a claim. The studio confirms or declines. If confirmed, the relationship is recorded permanently on both profiles -- the dancer's portfolio shows the studio, the studio's page shows the dancer as a confirmed team member. Neither side can alter a confirmed relationship unilaterally.
Can I browse dancers and studios without signing in?
Yes -- all published profiles and studio pages are publicly visible without an account. You can browse the full artist directory, the studio directory, and all open gigs without signing in. You only need an account to create a profile, post a gig, or apply.
What cities is the Network available in?
The Network is available across India -- Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, and everywhere else. There is no geographic restriction. A studio in Jaipur can post a gig that a dancer in Ahmedabad applies to.
