Reasons To Follow Dance Blogs

By Elena McDowell


You can follow dance blogs as a means of staying up-to-date with what is going on in the world of movement. A blog can help you keep current with both underground and mainstream activity. More times than not, the blog will be written by a professional with a significant amount of experience and technical ability. Even if you can't find the type of blog you are looking for, perhaps you could be prompted to start one yourself!

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.

Dancers who know what field of the industry they wish to get into can get insight into their dream jobs through following a blog. Blogs written by professionals with the experience and knowledge that dancers seek can have lots of advice and information on how to be in a music video, go touring with a singer or join a ballet company. Some of this information may by the brutally honest truth that may be difficult to find elsewhere.

A blog is also the perfect way to follow those in the industry that may have a lot of influence. Not only can they give great tips and advice, but simply reading up on their experiences can serve as motivation. Blog posts, photos and videos are all great ways to get interactive with fans and divulge more about the industry and those within it.

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.

You can find a host of dance blogs on the Internet. To narrow down your options, try visiting one of the top listed sites that make the top 10 list every year. You can also start your search with a genre that interests you to narrow down the information.
