Image:Snowdance.jpg Welcome to the WikiProject Dance, first, an important note for everyone to remember:
| A few Wikipedians have gotten together to make some suggestions about how we might organize data in articles about Dance. These are only suggestions, things to give you focus and to get you going, and you shouldn't feel obligated in the least to follow them. But if you don't know what to write or where to begin, following the below guidelines may be helpful. Mainly, we just want you to write articles! |

[edit]
Scope
This WikiProject aims primarily to categorize and organize the various Dance related artices. A large majority of them are currently stubs, or in desperate need of work, so through this project we hope to not only organize the articles appropiatly, but also to expand those that need help. And well, to get rid of all those pesky red links. :-)

Parentage

- Mrlopez2681 07:44, 6 April 2006 (UTC) - I am interested in creating articles on ballet history, particularly things that everyone seems to know of yet known nothing about. I have so far written the entire articles on Leon Minkus, Cesare Pugni (which I have yet to complete), Marius Petipa (which needs more), Riccardo Drigo (which needs more), the Bolshoi Kamenny Theatre. I do this because I have a wealth of knowledge I would like to share with others, as there is to little of it on the web, and most of it is far from accurate. I would like to really 'fix' many of the articles pertaining toballets and their history, as many of them contain whilly inaccurate information. As well Id like to create articles on particular ballets such as La Bayadere, as well as completely fix the articles on The Pharaoh's Daughter, Sleeping Beauty and so on. I have also created many reviews for amazon.com - Adam's reviews

- User:Thefunkygibson - Ballet dancer! As a member of the BBO I can write articles on this, its people, places and possibly some bios on dancers I have on DVDs. Started Carlos Acosta, found it's not hard to write articles from scratch with good websites! I wouldn't be adverse to writing some articles on dancewear brands e.g. Bloch, Freed etc as it's not hard to find info on these things. As a grammar junkie I can do some little edits here and there. Only really available when I have a holiday or nothing better to do though!
- Wintran 01:26, 19 April 2006 (UTC) - I'll mainly be working on street- and hip hop dance-related articles, but I'm interested in seeing the more general dance articles improve as well.
- User:PlainJane - I am a keen lindy hopper and also researching contemporary swing dance(s) for my PhD. I hang out around the lindy hop, swing dance, charleston (dance) and other swing dance related pages. I'm only new to wikipedia, so I'm always keen for feedback!
