Like an equivalent of the ballet forum's "Get the Pointe", do you mean? That's the only one I'm familiar with.
Not sure whether it would increase traffic, though it might - but I bet it would be fun, and it would most certainly be informative.

Yep, like Get the Pointe. There's a Highland one as well (and an Irish one too, I think).
I thought that tap is pretty underrated so many we could do something to increase its profile on DDN.

Tap is WAY too underrated, I definitely agree with you there. Anything we can do to improve the profile has to be a good thing. I think I could even spare some time to help with it, too.
I hope other people like the idea!

Someone tried to do something like that on the tap forums once.
Time permitting, if someone from here wants to start it again, I will help write a short article.

Sounds awesome. I'd help organize/write/something.

yeah cool, im always willing to give some insight/personal opinion towards these kind of things too..

Me too... I know some tap professionals and would be willing to send them some questions for any kind of upcoming newsletter we could put together! Great idea.

*snickers*
I've just had an evil thought.
We could do a special section where we do comparative tap terminology around the world!
Each issue, a new step.
I am, of course, completely kidding...

Oh wait. You said kidding. Phew.

Interesting concept, though.

^^That would be a pretty cool concept, but really hard to make clear on paper/screen. I know how hard it is to translate stuff in the threads on here.

I certainly would NOT be volunteering for that job! Talk about a poisoned chalice, to do it on paper...

You know, there is this an amazing thing called YouTube. One could upload or find a video of what I call (for example) a shuffle, and then link to it in the post...

Oh I forgot we can now embed youtube videos on here. That is actually quite workable then!

OK, so we've got a lot of interest. Who wants to edit this thing?

I'm too busy, unfortunately.
I vote that someone with a heck load of tap experience and enough time to do it plays editor.
Oh wait! People like that don't exist!

(I still can't do it, but happy to help with articles)

Hm. I could <i>potentially</i> see having enough time in the not-too-distant future, but I fall short on the tap experience side.
Happy to help out with things, but would be more comfortable with someone telling me what to do

I'd be up for it. If no one else wants to. And if you would let me...

Edited by blochpointesallt (186871) on 2008-04-20 19:31:29 Video didn't show up
Wait, we can EMBED videos now?! That would make things infinitely easier.
I'm testing this for myself:
Hmm, I copied and pasted the embed code from YouTube, but no video shows up... maybe it just doesn't like me. (BTW, I was trying to embed this: www.youtube.com . . .)

Does anyone want to take charge of this?

Ok, I'll take charge of it if people will do any writing that requires authority for me.
I do enough of this sort of thing at work, what's one more?
What'd we call it, though? Suggestions?
And what's going to go in it? I know Get The Pointe is pretty much just an interview with a DDN member; I'd quite like if we could have something more technical in ours, though a little focus on a member might be nice.
