While our Dance Teachers listings are fairly complete for Long Beach, we haven't yet focused on the other people-categories; at this time we have only a few dance performers, troops & companies listed and will be adding more as we proceed.
Most Dance Teachers are dance-performers to some extent. The key distinction we make here is dance performers who have something substantive on their websites regarding their Dance Performance services and capabilities.
Additionally this site is about growing adult social recreational - participatory - dancing, not about watching dancing. When dance-arts performers and performance companies do things to encourage actual participation in dancing that is a wonderful thing. We need a lot more of that in the dance world.
</mini-rant alert/> In our modern American culture, which has become so incredibly much about "watch ME" on the one hand, and "ENTERTAIN me" on the other hand, we need more actual doing rather than spectating. The massive complementary demands for "I want to be watched" and "I just want to watch" has been a major factor, it seems to me, in some of our most difficult national concerns.
My vision for GoDance.biz includes the observation: "with more dancing, the world will be an even better place" - as will Long Beach. Go Dance. Instead of sit and watch something, get up and Go Dance. Or ride a bicycle, or do something.
