Full analysis
Overview
Danceplace.ch presents itself as the website of DancePlace Sursee GmbH, a local Swiss dance and group-fitness studio offering classes for different age groups, memberships, workshops, studio rental, and online booking or contact requests.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
No conflicting legal identities or suspected brand impersonation were observed in the supplied page content. However, the risk posture is materially affected by confirmed blacklist hits from two external sources and two malicious detections alongside two suspicious detections in external threat-intelligence checks. Behavioral inspection also identified two suspicious inline scripts. These signals outweigh the otherwise ordinary local-business presentation, although no login form, hidden form, wallet connection, credential-harvesting behavior, or financial-fraud feature was detected. The domain’s historical record does not show suspicious repurposing, but that continuity does not resolve the external reputation contradiction.
- The homepage presents dance and fitness classes, memberships, workshops, studio rental, and booking/contact functionality rather than an impersonation or financial-service model.
- External reputation checks recorded 2 malicious and 2 suspicious detections; the domain was also listed by 2 external blacklist sources.
- Behavioral inspection of the homepage identified 2 suspicious inline scripts, with 0 hidden forms, 0 wallet connections, and no detected brand-impersonation indicators.
- Domain registration continuity is 7.08 years; 53 archive snapshots span 2019-07-20 to 2026-06-09 across 8 tracked years.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The site provides a business presentation, contact details, location information, and privacy and cookie documentation. It presents the operator as DancePlace Sursee GmbH, but the supplied evidence supports that identity only as likely rather than independently verified. No regulatory license or registration number is claimed or verified in the available pages; for a local dance studio this is a disclosure and verification point rather than, by itself, evidence of wrongdoing. The site’s ordinary service content and privacy documentation are positive content signals, but they do not neutralize the confirmed external reputation warnings.
- The homepage title identifies “Danceplace – Dein Tanz und Fitnessstudio in Sursee” and the page summary identifies DancePlace Sursee GmbH.
- The privacy and cookie content describes processing of personal data, consent management, and third-party services.
- Hosting is provided by hosttech-AS - hosttech GmbH, CH on AS207143.
- The site uses a DV TLS certificate issued by YR1, valid to 2026-09-25.
What to Verify Next
Before any account creation, payment, or submission of personal information, an independent party should confirm that DancePlace Sursee GmbH is the operator through the relevant Swiss commercial registry and confirm the business’s official contact channels through an offline or independently sourced route. Booking terms, cancellation and refund conditions, and the payment provider should be checked directly on the site before completing a transaction. Any licensing or registration requirement applicable to the specific classes or services should be confirmed with the relevant Swiss authority if the business claims that such authorization is required.
- The homepage contains one booking/contact form and no sensitive form fields were identified.
- The site links to Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok presence, which can be compared against independently established business profiles.
- The available page content includes privacy and cookie information but does not present a verified license number or regulatory registration reference.
Summary Verdict
The website has a credible local-service presentation and some continuity and technical-health indicators, but its overall trust posture is low because confirmed external threat detections and blacklist records create a significant contradiction. The available evidence supports treating the site as a potentially genuine local-business presentation whose safety for sensitive interaction has not been established.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves directly to likely origin infrastructure, with no CDN or WAF detected and no edge-IP layer identified. This provides limited protective separation between the public service and its hosting environment; the infrastructure itself is not proof of legitimacy and does not offset the external reputation findings.
Closing Assessment
Sensitive interaction should remain suspended until the independent operator and transaction checks are completed and the external reputation warnings are satisfactorily resolved.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about danceplace.ch at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
