2.1 What is this group all about?
**Discussion topics**
This is an unmoderated discussion forum on practically all dance
forms and issues. Most of the discussion focuses on social dance (in
particular ballroom, swing, and country & western), but folk, tap,
clogging, belly dancing, polka, disco, hustle, freestyle, slam, etc.
are also legitimate topics. Some discussion of jazz, ballet, and folk
dancing exists, but most of that traffic is in the groups
rec.folk-dancing and alt.arts.ballet . Some of the traffic in this
group comes from gateways with the ballroom and country-western dance
mailing lists. These are discussed in section (3.3) .
This group includes discussions about technique, styling, dance
troupes, specific dancers, camps and workshops, competitions, and
equipment, as well as conditioning for dance, injuries (their treatment
and rehabilitation), stretching, etc. (There are FAQ lists regarding
these last few points; see section (1.2) . Moreover, this group
welcomes queries concerning what dance clubs or organizations are in
your area (please use restricted distribution) and how to get started
dancing.
If there is no discussion of your favourite dance going on at present,
that does not mean you should not feel free to start a discussion
yourself.
**Goals**
This is a great forum to help dancers hook up with one another,
whether for workshops, competitions, instruction, or simply finding a
place to dance in a city you will be visiting.
This group is not for commercial use. Advertising for profit (as
opposed to occasional recommendations by actual dancers) is not
welcome. On the other hand, announcements of competitions, exhibitions,
and special events are appropriate, even if they are for profit. If you
are a for-profit dance person and you really really really want the net
to know about your existence, please post a short and to the point note
with an email address or web site where people can obtain further
information. Frequent reposts of such a notice are NOT appreciated.
