The Beauty Of Dance Blogs

By Elena McDowell


Dance blogs are perfect to stay in-the-know with the happenings of the world of movement and rhythm. Through them, one can follow both the mainstream crowd as well as keep up with what is happening in more selective crowds. Most of these blog writers will have their own experience dancing, with lots of credible technical training and information to give. There are lots of genres of dancing, and as such, it is possible to find a blog for every dancer's needs. If not, it's easy to start a blog for what cannot be found online.

The online world is a great way to be in tune with what is happening before the rest of the world finds out about it. Dancers can maintain contact online and divulge information about important auditions and workshops that may come up, giving the chance for a head start before they are publicly advertised. Individuals can also blog about their own skills and talent, thereby attracting potential employment.

Another great aspect of following a blog about dancing is the opportunity to learn new things. Travel may be difficult for some, but those who have had the opportunity to learn new styles and techniques can share that information online. A blog can be a great way to ignite an interest in unexplored dance territory.

Blogs can also be very insightful. For those looking for a specific type of dancing job, a blog can offer tips and advice on how to get it. For example, a dancer may wish to be on tour with a major performer, or audition for a music video, or get information on what it is like to be part of a dance troupe or ballet company. A blog may contain honest, and sometimes crucial, information that cannot be found elsewhere about the inner workings of the industry and what the experience is really like.

You can have direct links to very influential people in the industry by following a blog. Learning about their experiences can help to motivate you to get what you want. You can learn more about the work through their pictures, videos and writing online as a way of keeping in touch with their fans.

Following a blog can be the head start that a dancer is looking for in terms of learning a great move that can be used in their auditions. Keeping current is important in the industry, and a blog is one of the best ways to do that. Executing the perfect move at an audition can be the difference between getting a job and going home.

For those who live in remote areas where there may be no dancing community or teaching classes for them to join, online information can help them to determine their next move. They can find out about auditions or schools nearest to their location. They can also be selective regarding the opportunities that require traveling outside of their location to make it, being smart about how and when they spend their time and money.

There are lots of dance blogs available online. There is an annual list of the top 20 to follow, which is a great place to begin. Otherwise, starting with a specific dancing genre can be a good first step in narrowing down the information available online.
