Latest Dance News Blog Setup

I’m launching a blog devoted entirely to the latest dance news—fresh competition results, company announcements, emerging choreographers, tech innovations, and everything else that keeps the community in motion. I need a partner who can turn this idea into a smooth-running, reader-friendly site.

What I’d like you to handle:
• Build and configure a modern, lightweight CMS (WordPress, Ghost, or another platform you trust) with a responsive design that conveys energy and movement.
• Create clear category structures so visitors can eventually filter news by style once I define them.
• Set up basic on-page SEO, social sharing, and an easy back-end workflow for rapid updates, video embeds, and image galleries.
• Provide a concise style guide so headlines, tags, and excerpts stay consistent.
• (Optional) Draft the first few news posts to establish tone and formatting.

Publishing frequency is still open, so your advice on a realistic content calendar would be appreciated. Once the build meets the agreed spec, a short hand-off session will ensure I’m comfortable managing day-to-day posts.

If you’ve created dance-related or news-oriented sites before, or have a background in dance journalism, that experience will be a real plus—please include examples when you reply.
