What Dance Blogs Are You Reading?

by

I started this blog in November 2009. Back then, there were a handful of blogs out there on dance (at least that I was aware of), and I wasn’t even sure I would have much of an audience on 4dancers. To my surprise, I got a wonderful response from the online dance community. It encouraged me to keep at it, and, in truth, the readers are really what helped this blog blossom and grow into what it has become today.

Now, as I look around at the amount of dance blogs on the web, I find it very exciting. The online dance community continues to grow and expand, and it seems I can’t even keep up with the amount of sites that are popping up all over the place. There are some wonderful new voices, and many of those that have been around a while have grown and included contributors to round out their offerings. It’s wonderful.

So why this post, you might ask…

I’m reaching out here to see if you can help me. I’d like to hear what dance blogs you are checking out these days. Although I attempt to find the new ones, I am not always successful, and I really hope that I can be a part of spreading the word when I discover them.

So…can you post any links in the comments section here for me to check out? Please feel free to include your own blog in the mix–this is not just for me, but for 4dancers readers as well. Let’s all work together to help spread the word about what is out there to read–there’s so much!

Even if you don’t normally post comments, I’d really love it if you’d share just one or two dance blogs you read–

Thanks to my readers, and thanks to the online dance community–I’m happy to be a part of something so amazing!

  1. As a parent of two dancers, I find myself mostly reading blogs that have advice for parents.  However, more and more, I find myself reading blogs for dancers and sharing them with my girls.  My 10 year old just recently joined a youth dance company and really enjoys reading them now too. 

    Your blog is one of our favorites.  We also like: 

    http://www.sheenajeffers.com/blog/

    http://danceadvantage.net/

    http://www.balletformeandyou.com/

    There are many others, but we read yours and those the most.  
    I do have a blog, but it isn’t a dance related one (although I do post about dance on occasion).  I’ve been inspired enough by all of these great dance blogs to want to start my own, from the perspective of a dance mom, but haven’t gotten started yet. Will let you know if/when I do!  Thanks for writing a great, informative blog and inspiring so many dancers!

  3. As a new senior in the dance program at the University of Oregon, I’m attempting to create not only an online presence to promote myself, but also a place to share the dance in media that inspires me. That is my microblog, rachelslaughter.tumblr.com. It’s a bit rough and simple, but it’s been a great learning experience.

    Here are some dance blogs I admire:
    Socialrhythms.wordpress.com – this is Jordon Cloud’s blog, a dear friend of mine, fellow UO dancer, and PR student.
    Sheenajeffers.com/blog – thoughtful blog posts with lots of great info for dancers
    Zoejuniper.wordpress.com – husband and wife performance art duo, recently featured at Jacob’s Pillow, offering intimate insight into their creative process

    And last but certainly not least, 4dancers, of course! 🙂

  6. Thank you for this idea and thank you for sharing your fav blogs. iIhave put some of them in my RSS feed 🙂

    In Montreal we do A LOT of social dancing and it’s one of the top cities in North America to dance Argentinian Tango. My favorite dance school/social tango club is Air de Tango whose blog is at:
    http://airdetango.com
    The blog is written by the owner, lovely and vibrant Mylène who is reknown worldwide for her dancing and also her teaching.

    I also dabble a bit in blogging and you can find my blurbs at http://stephbaron.com/tang but I am only a social dancer, not a pro.

    Happy dancing all!

  7. I’m so excited to check out all of these blogs! Thank you thank you for sharing your links with me and readers here at 4dancers! (Stephanie – an update to your link – http://stephbaron.com/tango)

    I really appreciate the fact that you took the time to post these! 🙂

  9. My blog is AdriaBallet Beat –
    http://adriaballetbeat.wordpress.com/

    I began this personal ballet blog a few months ago, featuring insider stories and thoughts on ballet (my lifetime passion). I have coordinated the ABT Dancer Reunion and Antony Tudor Centennial Celebration at Juilliard. I currently work for the Antony Tudor Ballet Trust as web coordinator and Archivist. I helped develop the Trust’s fundraising book, and helped bring their website to fruition – http://www.antonytudor.org.

  10. It was just one tiny mistake. 🙂 I just wanted to be sure people could find your blog! Thanks for reading and for commenting Stephanie!

  11. I am also on the hunt for more dance blogs, particularly regarding contemporary dance!

    Here is mine which will most likely becoming far more busy when I start back on my final degree year, mainly a place for recording my choreographic ideas/processes and other general thoughts 🙂 http://kellyleighrose.tumblr.com/

    Keep dancing 🙂

  12. I read you, Eva Yaa Asantewaas Infinite Body Blog, I work a lot on my website…The Dance Enthusiast … that means reading it but for me not as fun as reading others stuff…danceintuit ( don’t know if I spelled that correctly is a new blog I like) I need to read more… but bz… I look to my twitter and fb friends to point me to articles of interest on dance ohhh I like oberon’s grove very much… thx…Christine

  14. Thanks for this post! Have added several to my own list.Thought some might also be interested in the blog I write for, http://www.dvsnowqueen.blogspot.com . It documents the making of a new winter ballet, “The Snow Queen.” It’s still young, but over time, we will add more entries on costuming, pantomime, interviews with the choreographer and more. 🙂

  19. I love the approach Sarah! (And the picture!) It looks like you are going to use a great “voice” for the blog and I think it should be approachable. For some “nuts & bolts” info, I would recommend “Problogger”, which has a lot of good stuff on the site about how to set up & market your blog. All the best–I’ll keep checking in on you! 🙂
