A few Wikipedians have gotten together to make some suggestions about how we might organize data in articles about Dance. These are only suggestions, things to give you focus and to get you going, and you shouldn't feel obligated in the least to follow them. But if you don't know what to write or where to begin, following the below guidelines may be helpful. Mainly, we just want you to write articles!

[edit] Scope
This WikiProject aims primarily to categorize and organize the various Dance related artices. A large majority of them are currently stubs, or in desperate need of work, so through this project we hope to not only organize the articles appropriately, but also to expand those that need help. And well, to get rid of all those pesky red links. :-)
[edit] Parentage
The parent of this WikiProject is the WikiProject Arts.

- PatHaugen -- Works at the California Arts Council and dances ballet in the Sacramento, California region.
- Fang Aili -- I'd like to improve folk dance-related articles, as well as the Folk dance page itself. Btw, folk dance is not traditional dance.
- User:Thetawave — translations, salsa, rock 'n' roll, social dancing etc.
- Cswrye - Most of my knowledge is in swing and its related dances, but I would still like to be involved in other areas of this project.

- Mrlopez2681 07:44, 6 April 2006 (UTC) - I am interested in creating articles on ballet history, particularly things that everyone seems to know of yet known nothing about. I have so far written the entire articles on Leon Minkus, Cesare Pugni (which I have yet to complete), Marius Petipa (which needs more), Riccardo Drigo (which needs more), the Bolshoi Kamenny Theatre. I do this because I have a wealth of knowledge I would like to share with others, as there is to little of it on the web, and most of it is far from accurate. I would like to really 'fix' many of the articles pertaining toballets and their history, as many of them contain whilly inaccurate information. As well Id like to create articles on particular ballets such as La Bayadere, as well as completely fix the articles on The Pharaoh's Daughter, Sleeping Beauty and so on. I have also created many reviews for amazon.com - Adam's reviews
- Keitei — been dancing since I was four, competing since I was eight, this project/portal needs a kick in the pants, so here I am!
- Queenofthewilis Hi! I love Wikipedia and have thus far created some articles on dance, though they need to be expanded. I will get on it soon, I promise! Here is my working list: Angel Corella, Xiomara Reyes, Ivan Vsevolozhsky, Julius Reisinger, Prix Benois de la Danse, Nicholas Legat, Christian Johansson, Lucien Petipa, Myrtha, Queen of the Wilis, and Carlotta Grisi. I have also contributed to many other articles and have uploaded many images for use therein.
- Tufkaa — edits and articles mostly dealing eastern european folk dancing as well as classical dance; I also participate in Ukrainian and Soviet-era history/geography/biography.
- General Eisenhower I love the history of dance. I also particate in WikiProject disease and anti-stub
- User:Thefunkygibson - Ballet dancer! As a member of the BBO I can write articles on this, its people, places and possibly some bios on dancers I have on DVDs. Started Carlos Acosta, found it's not hard to write articles from scratch with good websites! I wouldn't be adverse to writing some articles on dancewear brands e.g. Bloch, Freed etc as it's not hard to find info on these things. As a grammar junkie I can do some little edits here and there. Only really available when I have a holiday or nothing better to do though!
- Wintran 01:26, 19 April 2006 (UTC) - I'll mainly be working on street- and hip hop dance-related articles, but I'm interested in seeing the more general dance articles improve as well.
- User:PlainJane - I am a keen lindy hopper and also researching contemporary swing dance(s) for my PhD. I hang out around the lindy hop, swing dance, charleston (dance) and other swing dance related pages. I'm only new to wikipedia, so I'm always keen for feedback!
- Lilsaalex
- Wootking
- avjewe - I primarily do vintage dance, by which I mean American and European social dances from 1800 to 1950.
- Editor at Large - I am a student studying classical ballet at a pre-professional school. I've been dancing for 13 years.
- Michael Richters - I have studied Lindy Hop and various other partner dances (Balboa, Collegiate Shag, West Coast Swing, Carolina Shag, Hustle), and have some knowledge of related non-partner dances (Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, Charleston). I would like to improve the quality of many of the articles on these topics, and also participate in an effort to promote more consistency in the conventions and organization of the articles on dance.
- Prima Ballerina
- Will.i.am - I'm interested in salsa, lindy, and balboa. I have more experience editing Wikipedia than dancing so consider myself a supporting contributor.
- Jon Silpayamanant Interested in focusing on Southeast Asian dance in particular, and Asian dance in general. Also some interest in Capoeira and other martial arts that have dance elements such as Muay Thai (the Ram Muay and Wai Khru before the bouts) as well as ethnic dances like Belly Dance and Bollywood Dance.
- Emmegan - I am a serious student of ballet, modern dance and choreography, and would like to do whatever I can to improve the quality and quantity of dance articles on Wikipedia. I have made expansions to the dance article on the history of ballet in Europe, and am the writer of the article on Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.
