Commission Investment
Every commission begins with your story. Choose the scope that fits your vision — a single track, a short collection, or a full album. Each package follows the same artisan process: we compose, you choose, we master.
A song lives on forever. It's an investment in something permanent — a piece of your legacy that can be heard, felt, and shared long after the performance ends.
Tell us your dance style, the mood, and the moment you want to capture.
Three distinct interpretations of your brief, crafted with care.
Pick the sample that moves you. That's the one we take to mastering.
Your mastered track, ready for the floor, the stage, or the record shelf.
Additional samples from your set can each be mastered for +$400 — so nothing from your session goes to waste.

Premium Add-On · Requires Publish
For the dancer who wants to step beyond the floor and into the release — as the face of a new musical project.

The music is ours. The stage — and the name on it — is yours.

Questions
You can listen to sample tracks directly on our home page — just head to the Listen section. We also have two house artists whose music is available on all major platforms: kiss&repeat and ache&answer, both on Spotify. These tracks aren't dance-timed like our step&story albums, but they showcase the same production quality and artistry behind every commission. The step&story practice albums arrive Spring 2026.
After you share your brief, we compose three distinct interpretations — different arrangements, moods, or approaches to the same story. You listen, you choose the one that moves you, and that's the track we take to full mastering. The others aren't wasted: each can be mastered for an additional $400 if you'd like to keep them.
We use a combination of physical and digital sounds and voices — including but not limited to AI — to compose each piece. Every commission is crafted with intention, drawing on whatever tools best serve your story and style.
A song lives on forever. It's an investment in something permanent — a piece of your legacy that can be heard, felt, and shared long after the performance ends. Most purchases fade; music doesn't.
We retain full ownership and all rights to the commissioned work. You receive the files and the experience — the music may or may not be released publicly, at our discretion. If you'd like your music released on streaming platforms, that's what the Publish add-on is for.
The Publish add-on releases your commissioned music to Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, and all major platforms under our artist label. Because we're selective about what we release under our name, this option is extended by invite — typically after we've heard your first commission and feel it's the right fit. If you're interested, simply mention it in your inquiry and we'll let you know after your first batch.
The Artist Launch is for the dancer who wants to go further — to become the face of a musical project. We build a complete band identity for you: a band name (not your personal name), a logo and visual identity, bios across streaming platforms, and a dedicated artist website. Your music is released under this new artist identity, with you holding the performance credit and a 50/50 share of streaming revenue. It's the full package for turning your story into a public artistic presence.
Using a crafted band or artist name gives your project its own world — separate from your personal identity, and easier to build a brand around. We'll work with you to develop a name that feels right for your dance style and story.
Yes — the Artist Launch package is only available in combination with the Publish add-on, since it's built around releasing music publicly under your new artist identity. The two work together as a complete release package.
We begin work upon receipt of a 50% deposit, which secures your place in our creative schedule and allows us to dedicate the time and care your commission deserves. Once your tracks are complete and ready for delivery, the remaining balance is due before assets are sent. All sales are final — because each commission is a bespoke creation made exclusively for you, we are unable to offer refunds once work has begun. We take that responsibility seriously, and so does every note we write.
Simply fill out the commission inquiry form with your dance style, your story, and any details about what you're envisioning. We'll be in touch within 2–3 business days to begin the conversation.
