Published on February 1st 2024, 1:08PM

Hello, dance enthusiasts!

We're thrilled to announce an exciting update to our platform - WhereToDance.com. As part of our ongoing commitment to embracing the rich diversity of dance and providing a comprehensive resource for dancers and aficionados worldwide, we've introduced some exciting new categories. Our latest additions, including "LGBTQ+ Dance Movements" and "Ice Dancing," further enrich our diverse collection of dance styles and cultures.

Celebrating Diversity with LGBTQ+ Dance Movements

We recognize that dance is a powerful medium of expression and identity, resonating with cultural, historical, and personal narratives. That's why we've introduced "LGBTQ+ Dance Movements" as a major category. This category is a vibrant celebration of the LGBTQ+ community's rich contribution to the dance world. It encompasses styles like Waacking/Punking, Voguing, Ballroom/Ball Culture Dance, and Vogue Fem, each with its unique flair and cultural significance.

Our aim is to provide a platform that respects, honors, and elevates these expressive art forms, ensuring that every dancer and every style has a place to shine. Whether you're a seasoned dancer or an enthusiastic beginner, you'll find a wealth of resources, teachers, and community events that celebrate the LGBTQ+ dance culture.

Gliding Gracefully with Ice Dancing

But that's not all! We're also introducing "Ice Dancing" to our array of dance categories. Ice Dancing is a mesmerizing blend of figure skating and dance, known for its elegance, precision, and stunning choreography. This category not only includes the competitive aspect of ice dancing, recognized as an Olympic sport but also explores the beauty of Synchronized Skating, Theatrical and Show Ice Skating, and Recreational Ice Dancing.

Whether you're captivated by the athletic rigor of competitive routines, the synchronized harmony of team performances, or the pure joy of recreational skating, our Ice Dancing category offers something for everyone. Dive into a world where the ice becomes a canvas for the most breathtaking performances.

A Platform for All

At WhereToDance.com, our vision is to create a global platform that celebrates every dance style and every dancer. From the rhythmic beats of African Dances to the passionate flair of Latin Dance, from the traditional elegance of Ballet to the modern vibe of Hip Hop, and now with the inclusive spirit of LGBTQ+ Dance Movements and the graceful poise of Ice Dancing, we aim to cover the entire spectrum of dance.

We believe that dance is a universal language, transcending boundaries and bringing people together. With these new additions, we're excited to offer an even more inclusive and comprehensive resource for our community. Whether you're looking to learn, teach, connect, or simply enjoy the diverse world of dance, WhereToDance.com is your go-to destination.

Stay tuned for more updates, resources, and inspirations. Keep dancing, keep exploring, and let's celebrate the diversity and beauty of dance together!

Warmest regards,

The WhereToDance.com Team

Co-founder of WhereToDance

Samuel Newton has gracefully moved to the rhythms of Salsa, Bachata, Swing, and Ballroom, cherishing every step and turn. His love for dance extends beyond the dance floor – it's in the laughter shared during a dance lesson, the applause after a performance, and the connections made in a dance hall.

Recognizing the vibrancy and potential of the dance community, Samuel, along with Sarah Hamilton, co-founded both WhereToDanceNashville.com and WhereToDance. Their vision was simple yet profound: to cultivate a platform where dancers, both novices and veterans, could connect, learn, and grow. Samuel's dedication is not just about mastering dance steps; it's about fostering a community where every dancer feels at home.

When he's not dancing or working on Where To Dance, Samuel can be found attending dance events, immersing himself in the ever-evolving world of dance, and continuously seeking avenues to help the dance community flourish.
