Are you a dance blogger or someone interested in checking out other dance blogs? I invite you to get involved in a new initiative: Dance Bloggers

Shortly after I started blogging, I found the desire and the need to follow other dance blogs on a regular basis. I was eager to discover other dance bloggers and connect with them; I hoped that online, I might find a community feeling similar to what I had always enjoyed in the studio.Three issues arose as I explored the dance blogosphere from my initial vantage point:* It wasn’t always easy to find dance bloggers, even though we exist.* Once I found other dance bloggers, following their posts by entering their sites individually or sorting through my feed reader became very time consuming and tiring.* I still wanted to connect more easily to other dance bloggers and readers - especially since I was halfway around the world from most of the people I met online!I hope to see these issues resolved through the introduction of a new website that is bringing dance bloggers together: www.DanceBloggers.com Especially if you have your own blog covering dance, I urge you to read on and submit your blog.What is DanceBloggers.com?DanceBloggers.com is a central hub for people who blog about dance in English. The site will help dance bloggers connect and follow the dance blogosphere; it will also allow people interested in dance and blogging to learn more about the field.How does Dance Bloggers operate?This site will aggregate feeds from participating dance blogs. The beginnings of each participating blog’s posts will automatically be displayed on the main page; when someone clicks on a post to read more, he or she will be redirected to the original blog. All participating blogs will have links in the “Contributors” section of our sidebar and in the Dance Bloggers Directory.What can you gain by tuning in to Dance Bloggers?* Follow: Subscribe to daily e-mails featuring teasers of posts from many dance blogs.* Connect: Become a friend of Dance Bloggers to connect and share thoughts on our wall (just like in Facebook).* Participate: If you are also a dance blogger, you can submit your blog and gain visibility.Want to support Dance Bloggers?Please share this with your friends via e-mail and Facebook!Full disclosure and thanks: My partner Tal and I started Dance Bloggers. Edited from my original post on Dance In Israel.I’m also grateful to Kristin Sloan and The Winger - a collection of dance professionals blogging on one site - which first hooked me into the larger dance blogosphere.
