The Importance Of Following Dance Blogs

By Elena McDowell


Dance blogs are a great way to follow what is happening in the world of dancing, both mainstream and underground. A blog about dancing is most likely to be written by an individual with some sort of background in this physical activity, which is also incredibly technical and takes years of training to master. There are so many different genres of rhythmic movement that even if one was unable to find a blog specific to their needs, they would easily be able to start one of their own.

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.

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 a number of dance blogs online to follow. A good place to start would be one of the many top ten or twenty lists that come out annually displaying the best of these. Alternatively, typing in the specific type of rhythmic movement may help to narrow down the options and focus on the exact information required.
