Dance blogs in the West Midlands

by ianravenscroft on September 21, 2011

I follow quite a few local dance blogs so I thought I’d share some of my favourites. If you don’t already, why not subscribe to some of these blogs to keep an eye on what’s going on in the world of dance.

If I haven’t included your blog, don’t worry. Add it in the comments on this post and I’ll make sure to subscribe. And if you haven’t got a dance blog, why not start one?

ACE Dance and Music

ACE Dance and Music are regular bloggers. They often post lots of interesting chats with their dancers, photos from recent events and news from across the industry.

 

Blue Eyed Soul

Similarly, Blue Eyed Soul share lots of good content and are particularly good at previewing their upcoming events as well as sharing photos of their past events. This week their work experience placement took the reins to give a different view of working at a dance company.

Dancing for the Games

This blog provides all you need to know about the Dancing for the Games projects which are part of the Cultural Olympiad in the West Midlands. A lot of local dance companies are involved and there’s activity from now all the way through to the Games themselves. The blog provides interviews, news, photos, and listings.

Dancescape

Dancescape covers dance news across Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire and is a great resource for dance development, events, jobs, and opportunities in the region.

 

Birmingham Royal Ballet On Tour

Birmingham Royal Ballet have a couple of blogs, but the On Tour blog is particularly interesting as it goes in-depth into how a dance company tours and gives a voice to the dancers, crew, and  senior staff. The blog has covered the recent tour of Japan and is now looking at the company on tour closer to home.

As I mentioned earlier, add your dance blog to the comments on this post. You can also check out our blogroll with is the list of links in the right hand column of this blog. Get subscribing!
