Your dancer profile is how people find you on Swingaround. It ties together your competition results, videos, communities, and practice history in one place. Setting one up takes about two minutes.
What you can do
- Claim an existing unclaimed profile if one already matches your name (from competition results or video imports)
- Create a fresh profile if no matches fit
- Set your name, location, pronouns, dance role (lead, follow, or both), dance styles, and bio
- Upload a profile image and cover photo from your profile edit page
- Add links to your social accounts and website
- Pin profile highlights to feature your best competition clips or videos
- Reorder your profile sections (competition, teaching, videos, community) to match what you want visitors to see first
How it works
1. Find or create your profile
After signing up, you’ll land on the onboarding screen. Swingaround checks if any unclaimed profiles match your name. These profiles come from imported competition results or video data, so yours might already exist with results attached. If there’s a match, claim it. If not, hit “Create my profile” to start fresh. For details on the claiming process, see Claiming Your Dancer Profile.
2. Fill in your details
On the next screen you’ll see fields for your name, location, pronouns, and dance role. Pick your dance styles from the list and add a short bio if you want. You can skip any of this and come back later.
3. Edit anytime
Once your profile exists, visit it and tap edit. You can update everything from onboarding, plus add highlights, reorder sections, and manage your links. You can also update your account email and password from Settings.
Good to know
- Claiming any profile requires email verification. You can use the platform while your claim is reviewed. See Claiming Your Dancer Profile for the full process.
- Your display name can be different from your canonical name. The canonical name is what shows on competition results. The display name is what visitors see on your profile.
- If you change your name later, the old name is saved as a searchable alias so people can still find you.
- With a Circle membership, you can customize the order of your profile sections and unlock additional features.
- Check your dashboard anytime to see how your profile connects to your events, competitions, and communities.
