Reasons To Follow 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.

A blog is a way to learn about a piece of news before it hits the mainstream media. Dancers can stay connected and learn about workshops or auditions that pertain to them in order to be first in line. Blogging can also let dancers display their talents in the hopes of being scouted by a dance company or talent agent, which would then bring in more work.

A blog facilitates online learning and self-directed teaching regarding dancing. For example, where an individual may be unable to travel and explore different styles or technique, that individual can search for new information online, shared by others. Following a blog can help fuel the passion for previously unexplored techniques.

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.

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!

If you are located in a region where dance classes are hard to find or not easily accessible, then you can use an online blog to help you get more information. You can learn about workshops happening nearby or fruitful opportunities that will give you time to plan if you have to travel. You can also be more selective about what auditions and workshops you do attend if there is some distance involved.

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.
