.dance costs $32 to register with us and $17.99 to renew, at our registrar's own rate with nothing added. .dance is a domain ending that names a creative discipline. It suits people whose work is the product - a portfolio, a studio, a publication - and it is one of the few categories where an unusual ending reads as deliberate rather than second-choice.
The ending is the part after the dot: the .dance in example.dance. Creative endings arrived with the wave of new extensions that let a name describe its own field, and they landed well here because the audience for creative work is used to reading names as part of the work.
That is the genuine advantage: in a field where taste is being judged, an ending chosen on purpose is a small piece of evidence that you make choices on purpose. It is also the reason a mismatched one stands out - the same audience notices when the name is doing something the work is not.
Every figure here is read from our registrar, not typed into this page, and is the total for one registration term rather than a per-year rate. A name can still carry premium pricing set by its registry - the amount shown at checkout is the one that applies.
Our registrar has not published a registrant rule for .dance, so we will not claim there is none - "not published" and "no requirements" are different statements and only one of them is ours to make. What we collect and submit is the standard contact set, and our registrar lists .dance as one it will register for us today, so checkout is open. If a registry does turn out to want more, a registration can be refused - worth knowing before you build a brand on the name.
This is a read on one group of endings - design, media, and making - rather than on .dance alone. Endings that name a craft - useful when the craft is the point. The price, the registry term and the registrant requirements on this page are .dance’s own, read live from our registrar.
A portfolio under your own name. Your name plus an ending that states the discipline is about as clear as an address gets.
A studio or small practice. It says what the studio does without a tagline, on every invoice and every email signature.
A publication, show, or project with its own identity. Work that travels separately from its maker benefits from an address that describes the work, not the person.
Clients who will see the address as part of the work. In creative fields the name is judged alongside the portfolio, and a chosen ending reads as intent.
If your work will change, an ending that names one discipline gets narrow fast. Photographers who move into film, designers who move into product, writers who start a studio - all end up with an address that describes what they used to do. Your own name on a neutral ending ages better than a specialised one when the specialism is the thing most likely to change.
And if most of your work arrives by referral over the phone, weigh the spelling cost. A creative ending is easy to read and less easy to dictate; for a practice built on word of mouth, that friction lands on your busiest channel.
Against the 41 endings we group under design, media, and making, .dance is the 17th most expensive of them per year at $32 - the group runs from $3.49 to $600.36 a year. Our grouping, our registrar's live prices, compared per year so a multi-year term cannot flatter itself.

Some names carry premium pricing set by the registry, well above the standard rate for that extension. Just Domain doesn't register premium names - search will tell you when a name is one.
