All dancers need places to explore information about technique, trends, and upcoming dance events. The internet is a great place to start when researching anything about the dance community. I strive to make my blog one of these resources, and here are some more good ones to look at.
**Note: most of these are related to ballet, since that is my main style of dance.
1. The website of your local dancewear store. For me, that is http://www.nmdancewear.com/ since I live in Albuquerque and my local store is New Mexico Dancewear. Many local dancewear stores have information about the products they carry, as well as info about upcoming events in the local dance sphere.
2. Discount Dance Supply: http://www.discountdance.com/index.php Even if you don't shop online, Discount Dance is amazing to use as a resource. Most of the products they sell have reviews attached to them, so you can see what other dancers think of specific products before you buy them. You can also find the specific style numbers to all the products sold on their main pages on Discount Dance. If you need to place a special order with your local dancewear store, you will most likely need the specific style number of the item you need. If you follow Discount Dance on Facebook, Pinterest, or Instagram, you can see fashion picks and technique tips from the professional dancers who model most of the items on the website.
3. YouTube. Specifically check out these channels:
Kathryn Morgan .https://www.youtube.com/user/Tutugirlkem Katie Morgan is a professional ballet dancer coming back to the dance world after being diagnosed with hypothyroidism. She has an amazing channel dedicated to helping ballet students on the road to going pro.
Twinstalkballet93. https://www.youtube.com/user/twinstalkballet93 This is a channel put together by twin sisters Kirsten and Kelsey, college students and ballet dancers. They have lots of good advice, as well as tutorials and product reviews.
AnaheimBallet. https://www.youtube.com/user/AnaheimBallet This is, obviously, the channel of Anaheim Ballet in California. They have tons of dancer spotlights, as well as technique tips and tutorials.
4. Magazine websites:
Pointe magazine. http://www.pointemagazine.com/ This is the "ballet Bible" magazine that gives info on fashion, technique, and everything happening in the professional world of Ballet.
Dance magazine. http://www.dancemagazine.com/ This is the site for Dance magazine, which includes many styles of dance like ballet, jazz, modern, tap, hip hop, and more. Look for dancewear fashion, interviews with pros, and information about auditions.
Dancespirit magazine. http://www.dancespirit.com/ This is very similar to Dance magazine, but with a slightly younger target audience, I think.
