We're looking for volunteers who want to join our aspiring staff and advance their dance career!



We need fun, knowledgable people for these volunteer positions:



<b>Forum Expert</b>. Someone who is very knowledgable about their dance topic and who wants to help answer questions posted to their forums and keep a high standard on their relevant forum, like Ballet, Hip Hop, Tap, etc. You will have more forum message editing privileges and your name and contact information will be available on the forums you manage.



<b>News Hound</b>: Do you have a nose for dance news? You can surf the net for interesting dance stories and summarize them on dance.net. This will help spur discussions on the latest dance news! You will be able to post new dance stories right on the front page!



<b>Contributing Writer</b>: Writing for dance.net means you'll get a great audience for your work and immediate feedback from your readers. You can help us interview famous dancers, choreographers, and celebrities. dance.net prides itself on having the hippest technology, so you can incorporate photos, videoclips, and sound bites in your story. Did we mention you can help interview famous people?



These positions are volunteer, meaning we can't pay you yet. dance.net is a labor of love by all involved. However, you'll get listed under our staff page and get great exposure to an adoring dance audience and have something great for your resume! It's a fun way to promote yourself and/or your organization and help the dance.net community.



Send email to <b>editor@ </b><b>dance.net</b> and be sure to tell us which position you're interested in and tell us about yourself: your accomplishments, goals, etc. Be sure to include a <b>writing sample</b> and how much time you can commit to your position. Thanks, and good luck!

I think that this sounds wonderful. I would like to express an interest in the two positions of News Hound and Contributing Writer. I think that I would have plenty of time to contribute to this website. I log on almost everyday to see what is new. I just recently was hired on at a small junior college in Oklahoma. I am the new Cheer/Dance Team Director/Coach. My job is to try to build up the program and even incorporate some dance classes into the curriculum. I am very excited. Please email me any other information that you may have. Thanks a bunch.

However, you can send email to <b>editor@dance</b><b>.net</b>. Please be sure to include a writing sample and how much time you could commit to your positions. Thanks!

To the editor,
My name is Vanessa and I'm 21 yrs of age. Currently a hip hop choreographer (8.5 yrs and counting). I've taken 2yrs of gymnastics. I've been on cheerleading squads from middle school level to all star level (coed). Lots of experience working with experienced and nonexperienced dancers, gymnists, and cheerleaders. I've been training children for pageants for 8yrs. I love to spend my time helping others. If you've noticed I've been responding to others questions, problems, and needs already on dance.net. Since I've been responding, I receive atleast 5 emails from those that I've helped.
I'm not looking for pay, just responding to your volunteer work. Since I already do that, I hope that counts. I spend a couple of hours everyday on your web site. I enjoy helping others, unlike the critics that are very rude to children.
Just wanted dance.net to know that there are people responding, some aren't very nice, but we're all responding. I love your web site and I think that it's very useful.

If you need more information or help, let me know at v.carter@eudoramail.com

Thanks for your time,
Vanessa Carter

O.K. well that sounds wonderful now all i need to know is when and were and how old u will except.

I would love to join the staff dance.net as a forum expert. I have been teaching Ballet and Pointe for the past 6 years and would like to explore other avenues of sharing my knowledge. Ballet has been a large part of my life since I was 3 years old. My background includes Pittsburgh Ballet Theater and Pointe Park College. Helping fellow members of the dance community would be an honor. I will provide you with any further information you may neee about myself. Just contact me at jennypo722yahoo.com

I just noticed a typo in my last post. Correction to my e-mail address. jennypo72@yahoo.com

I am highly interested in both positions. As requested, I will be sending you an email. For your reading, here is my short biography. Elsie Mufuka (chipo) Coker College graduate of 2008 of dual Bachelor of Art degrees in Dance and Communications, some of her references are The Amy Marshall Dance Company of New York City, The Wanda Project, and Choreographer/Mentor Natty Mncube. After her graduation in 2008, she accepted her first job in South Africa with Ntosana Contemporary Dance Theatre director Sello Pesa. For a year and half, Mufuka worked with this company as well as Taelo Dance Theatre-Gustin Makgeledisa, DTL Entertainment-Tumie Letsoenyo, and Lorcia Cooper. Not only as a dancer but administrator, executive assistant, and dance facilitator. As a dance facilitator, Mufuka has proved to transform anyone into his or her inner dancer. This was evident in her additional work of teaching in the townships of Soweto and Alexandra, South Africa. Both internationally and locally, Mufuka has developed even more experience in her craft of dance.

whoa....this thread creeps me out
