## Editorial Promise

We recommend dance products only when the recommendation helps a dancer, parent, teacher, or studio make a better purchase. Affiliate revenue is allowed, but recommendations should not exist only because a merchant pays.

## Disclosure

We may earn affiliate commissions from links. Recommendations should identify evidence level, fit or return risk, last updated date, and any important caveats.

## Evidence Integrity

- Current guides are mostly researched and not yet fully hands-on tested.
- Protocol dry runs improve caveats but do not count as hands-on proof.
- Prefer guidance that clearly states uncertainty and low-regret alternatives.
