1. LISTINGS!
No matter what time of year, we want to know about your classes, performances, galas, job and apprenticeship opportunities AND space rentals. Help us, to help you get the word out. Connect here > http://www.dance-enthusiast.com/dance-listings
2. POSTCARDS!
We've got mail!
Send a digital POSTCARD to The Dance Enthusiast. Tell us what you are up to. Include your text ( not a press release) and pictures to info@dance-enthusiast.com. Or, send a video and a horizontally oriented photo along with your text.
Ideas for POSTCARD topics:
- Show and Tell i.e. introduce us a to day in your rehearsal process in video and photos, then tell us about it.
- Where you are traveling to or where have you traveled and how has it changed you?
- What events/ festivals are you part of?
- What exciting ideas are you exploring?
- Who is performing in your space and why are you thrilled about it?
- Top 5 or 10 qualities that define you.
We love receiving POSTCARDS and are delighted to get mail. Include 3 to 5 photos and some friendly, informative, “not press releasey” text. Write as though writing to a friend, because The Dance Enthusiast is your friend.
We also explore zany topics so if you want to be offbeat but remain slightly unsure about the concept, contact us at info@dance-enthusiast.com to run your thoughts by us.
3. AUDIENCE REVIEWS!
Audiences Make Meaning. The only thing nicer than receiving a POSTCARD at The Dance Enthusiast is receiving an AUDIENCE REVIEW. How wonderful for you to write in support of another artist’s work or for someone in your audience to be moved to write about what they see! Please don't be shy about writing an audience review or asking your audience to contribute audience reviews.
Why?
Because your words can support this art form and your participation matters. (And it's so easy to do so) One can write free-form, or create a haiku review, or simply respond to prompts on our dance enthusiast questionnaire. SUBMIT A REVIEW TODAY > http://www.dance-enthusiast.com/get-involved/reviews
