You may be asking what are the benefits of the network. Well, our goal is to make the dance community better on tumblr. We are looking for people who have a good reputation in the community, and arent mean (duh?). Our goal is to become like a mini dance family, sharing our love of this beautiful art with the tumbr community. Being added into this network means you have an instant group of friends who you can fangirl over Robert Bolle’s instagram picture or Svet’s feet. Or Miko’s or Beckanne’s new variations. If you have a triumph or a slip up, we are here to support you and encourage you! We are always free if you need to talk about something other than dance too!
