Overview
Public discovery helps dancers find studios and events in DanceFlow.
A studio or event must be eligible and visible before it appears publicly.
Subscription access matters
Public discovery is available for studios with active platform access.
If a studio subscription is canceled or inactive, the studio and its events are removed from public discovery.
If the subscription is restarted and access becomes active again, the studio becomes eligible for public discovery again.
Studio visibility settings
Even with an active subscription, the studio profile must be enabled for public directory display.
If public directory visibility is turned off, the studio will not appear in discovery.
Event visibility settings
For an event to appear publicly, it generally needs to be:
- Published
- Public
- Public directory enabled
- Connected to an active/trialing studio
Draft, private, internal-only, or hidden events do not appear in public discovery.
Restarting a subscription
When a canceled studio restarts its subscription, public discovery eligibility is restored.
However, DanceFlow does not need to automatically republish every hidden event. Studio and event visibility settings still control what actually appears.
After restarting, review:
- Public studio profile
- Public event visibility
- Event status
- Public directory settings
Best practice
Use public visibility intentionally. Keep draft events hidden until they are ready, and review public pages after billing changes.
