dance.net is an independent dance community on the web. We strive to offer dancers a unique fun & safe place on the Internet to learn about all dance forms and meet fellow students, dancers, instructors, coaches, choreographers, and studio owners. We have a diverse population with very young dancers to the young-at heart.

dance.net is a labor of love. It costs nothing to join our community. Our software is unique in community-building features such as being able to comment and add your voice to virtually any message; features such as image and video uploading; member-created polls; private messages; jobs listings; events; moderators; member-authored feature stories; and more.

dance.net tries to cover its operating expenses through the use of advertising. Commercial and promotional ads are not allowed in the discussion forums. Please contact ads@dance.net to discuss your advertising needs.

Please list your organization in our links page. We would appreciate a reciprocal link on your site as well. Jobs and event notices can be published free of charge. Just visit the jobs & events page. Members are also emailed these notices in our free newsletter.

Are you a writer? Dance.net can always use another gifted writer. Send email to editor@dance.net to inquire about the volunteer (unpaid) writing position. You will learn a lot and get great exposure for your writing.

Please familiarize yourself with the Terms of Service which governs what behavior is expected here. The moderators use this guideline to help maintain a safe environment for everybody.

We do not permit commercial advertising or promoting in the forums. You are allowed to add your link for free. If you want to sell or promote a product or service, send email to ads @ dance.net.

If it's an event, it's probably a good idea to add the event to the Jobs and Events Calendar. This is free and is displayed on our main page as upcoming events.

If you would like to promote yourself or an upcoming show, then a front-page feature story is a great way to let our readers know about you and/or your event. You can contact the editor (editor@dance.net) and if we agree, then we can do a story. This typically includes our staff interviewing you by phone or in-person, taking some photos or using some publicity photos that you provide.

A quicker way, would be for you to write the story and include a photo. Then simply submit your story, and if it's well-written, has wide-appeal, and is just cool, then we'll approve the story.

If you're a book publisher or have dance-related media such as videos or DVDs that you would like us to review, send them to:
