The complete, machine-readable list is in `sitemap-courses.xml` and `sitemap-events.xml` below - that is the canonical discovery channel for AI crawlers. The canonical path uses the German segment in EVERY language: - Course: `/de/tanzkurs/{uuid}` - course content exists in German only, so a language copy such as `/en/tanzkurs/{uuid}` carries a canonical to the `/de/` address - Event: `/{lang}/tanzevent/{uuid}` - for example `/fr/tanzevent/{uuid}` when the event has a French version, otherwise `/de/tanzevent/{uuid}` Localized variants such as `/en/dance-class/{uuid}` exist, but they answer with a 301 to the canonical path above. Use the canonical form directly; the localized ones only cost a redirect. Every language route answers, but not every course or event is translated. A language version without its own translated title or description carries a canonical to the German original (`/de/…`) and no `hreflang`; the sitemaps list only the language versions that really exist. Course content is currently German only. ## Structured data Every public page exposes JSON-LD schema.org markup that AI assistants can consume directly without parsing the JS shell: - Course detail pages: `Course` with provider, instructor, venue and price (a monthly fee as a price per month); for a course with a fixed period also `EducationEvent` with its next session and end, which `Course.hasCourseInstance` names by `@id` - Event detail pages: `DanceEvent` with venue, performers, organizer, offers and eventStatus - Guide articles: `Article` with `BreadcrumbList`; guide overview pages: `CollectionPage` - Dance style and city pages: `BreadcrumbList` (they are landing pages, not articles) - Listing pages: `ItemList` of plain references to the course or event pages, and `BreadcrumbList` - App page: `MobileApplication` - FAQ sections are part of the visible page text; there is no `FAQPage` markup - Providers (dance schools, clubs, organisers) on their profile and on course and event pages: `Organization` under one `@id`; venues: `Place` with address and coordinates. udansa is the marketplace and never appears as provider or organiser Guide pages open with a short, self-contained answer paragraph before the body text - that paragraph is written to be quotable on its own. Courses and events are booked through udansa's own checkout. Offers whose tickets the organiser sells himself or only at the door keep their page with information, dates and price, but carry no booking link: udansa does not link to external booking or ticket systems, also not in its structured data (the `Offer` url is always the udansa page). ## Available languages German is the source language: pages are written in German and translated into the other languages; course content exists in German only. Every page is published under `/{lang}/…` with localized URL slugs. Guide pages keep their full path in every language, so the hierarchy is readable from the URL alone (for example `/fr/guide-de-danse/recherche-de-partenaire/trouver-pour-la-salsa`). Supported language codes: `ar`, `bg`, `bn`, `cs`, `da`, `de`, `el`, `en`, `es`, `fa`, `fi`, `fr`, `he`, `hi`, `hr`, `hu`, `id`, `it`, `ja`, `ko`, `lt`, `ms`, `nb`, `nl`, `pl`, `pt`, `ro`, `ru`, `sk`, `sl`, `sr`, `sv`, `sw`, `th`, `tl`, `tr`, `uk`, `ur`, `vi`, `zh`. Every page's `` carries `hreflang` alternates for the languages it really exists in, plus `x-default`. The sitemaps list plain URLs without alternates - the `` is the source for language versions. ## Machine-readable access - Markdown: request any page with `Accept: text/markdown` to receive it as Markdown instead of HTML. - MCP: a public, read-only MCP server (streamable HTTP, no sign-in) at [https://udansa.com/mcp](https://udansa.com/mcp), listed in the official MCP registry as `com.udansa/udansa`. Tools: search_dance_courses and search_dance_events (free text, city, dance style in any language, level, weekday, provider, price), get_search_filter_options, get_course_details, get_event_details, search_guide_articles and read_page_text. Results are the same as on the search pages and carry the public page URL. - WebMCP: in browsers that support [WebMCP](https://webmachinelearning.github.io/webmcp/) (currently Chrome), every page registers in-browser tools via `document.modelContext` - search, course and event details, the dance guide, language switching, the wishlist, the visitor's bookings and starting a booking. They act with the visitor's own session; tools with consequences (booking, signing out) ask the person first. Other browsers load none of this. The MCP server above needs no browser and is read-only. ## Sitemaps - [sitemap.xml](https://udansa.com/sitemap.xml): Sitemap index referencing all sub-sitemaps below. - [sitemap-static.xml](https://udansa.com/sitemap-static.xml): Homepage, course overview and event overview in every language other than German (the German ones are CMS pages, see below), plus the dance style quiz in the languages it is written in. - [sitemap-pages.xml](https://udansa.com/sitemap-pages.xml): All CMS pages (home, course and event overview, dance styles, cities, dance guide, about, legal) in German, each with the date its content last changed. Every page names its language versions via `hreflang` in its ``. - [sitemap-courses.xml](https://udansa.com/sitemap-courses.xml): Every published dance course detail page - primary discovery source for individual courses. - [sitemap-events.xml](https://udansa.com/sitemap-events.xml): Every published dance event detail page (including external events) - primary discovery source for individual events, German addresses (language versions via `hreflang` in each page's ``). Recurring events (e.g. a weekly party) are listed once, with their next upcoming date; the pages of the other dates canonicalize to it. - [sitemap-profile.xml](https://udansa.com/sitemap-profile.xml): Dance school and organizer profiles (`/de/anbieter/{uuid}`) and artist pages (`/de/kuenstler/{slug}`) that currently offer courses or events. ## Legal - [GTC](https://udansa.com/en/gtc) - [Imprint](https://udansa.com/en/imprint) - [Privacy policy](https://udansa.com/en/privacy) - [Refund Policy](https://udansa.com/en/refund-policy) ## Optional - [robots.txt](https://udansa.com/robots.txt): Crawler directives.
