Reasons To Follow 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.

You can use a blog about dancing to learn something new. Perhaps you don't get to travel as much as you would like to in order to experience new skills and styles in dancing. However, by seeking this information online, you can delve deeper into whichever genre interests you and expand your skill set.

If you have a particular dancing gig in mind for your dream job, you can get tons of information on the way that part of the industry works from blogs. You can get some great tips and information on avenues to get the job you desire, be it joining a company, appearing in a music video or going on tour as a backup dancer. You will also get some cold, hard truths about your dream job, which could help to influence your decision about being in the industry.

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 put you ahead of the pack by putting you in touch with new moves that you can work into your routines. Being current and fresh is what helps a dancer to stand out from a crowd in an audition. Perhaps you will find that one move that impresses everyone on your next audition!

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.
