As a Product Circle we need:

Personas

We want to build Participatory Network to provide autonomy for community: help communities to self-organize and make event organization easier and social, show preferences what you dance and bring dancers together, to discuss ideas in community and bring to life awesome projects.

WeDance is a marketplace. In marketplaces you need to reach critical mass in order to start creating value. That's why it's harder to validate by doing fast "lean startup" tests.

Marketplaces have the chicken and egg problem. Community forum on its own is difficult enough to popularise or rather it's a long time window problem. You have to identify what's the demand side and what's the supply side. Then which part is the one willing to pay to solve its problem. Focus on creating a community on that side with a content engagement, etc. Only then it makes sense to start introducing marketplace mechanics and features. Otherwise it's like entering a huge almost empty hotel.
