Why LYKSTAGE

Four things dance creators come to LYKSTAGE for

Plays on the big screen

Available on 8 device types — iOS, Android, Apple TV, Roku, Android/Google TV, Samsung TV, LG TV, and Amazon Fire TV. Your choreography belongs on the living-room TV, not just a laptop player.

An audience, not just hosting

Vimeo is a great place to store and present video. LYKSTAGE adds the piece dance creators actually need — a discovery engine that helps new viewers find your work.

Built creator-first

A creator-first platform with 20,000+ channels already active. You get a real home for your catalog and an audience that follows the artist, not just a single clip.

Reaches further than one screen

One upload reaches audiences across five markets — the US, UK, Canada, UAE, and India — on every major screen. Your choreography travels to new fans worldwide, not just the people you send a link to.

Questions

Dance creators ask

How is LYKSTAGE different from Vimeo for dance creators?

Vimeo is excellent for hosting high-quality video, but it's built as a hosting and portfolio platform — finding an audience is largely up to you. LYKSTAGE is built to get your dance content discovered, reach viewers across mobile, web, and Connected TV, and turn views into a following.

Can people watch my dance videos on a TV with LYKSTAGE?

Yes. LYKSTAGE is available on 8 device types — iOS, Android, Apple TV, Roku, Android/Google TV, Samsung TV, LG TV, and Amazon Fire TV — so your choreography can play on the big screen, not just a laptop.

Do I keep ownership of my content on LYKSTAGE?

Yes. You retain ownership of the dance videos and content you upload to your LYKSTAGE channel. By uploading, you grant LYKSTAGE the standard licence needed to host, display, and distribute your content across the platform and its supported devices — but the content remains yours.

Is it free to start a dance channel on LYKSTAGE?

Yes. Starting your channel on LYKSTAGE is free. You can create your channel, upload your content, and begin building an audience at no cost.

How do I grow my audience as a dance creator on LYKSTAGE?

Upload consistently, share your channel link, and reach viewers across mobile, web, and Connected TV. LYKSTAGE uses a watch-time-based engagement model that rewards quality content, helping strong routines get discovered and recognized.

How does LYKSTAGE reward dance creators?

LYKSTAGE uses a patent-approved watch-time model that recognises the value of genuine engagement. Rather than rewarding fleeting views, the platform surfaces and rewards the content people genuinely watch — which means strong dance work is recognised for the genuine attention it attracts.
