Search All Dance Blogs

In my blogroll to the left, there are now 45 dance blogs listed. It's great to see a community of dance bloggers emerging.

Since there are now a good number of dance blogs, I thought I'd use the Google Co-Op search engine to create an easy way to search all 45 of these dance blogs. Give it a spin:

The search results generated are just from these dance blogs. If there are other dance blogs that I should add to the search engine or my blogroll, please let me know.

As you can tell, so far I've only listed English language blogs. I'll soon add a new section to my blogroll for non-English language blogs. I'm not sure what to do in terms of the Google search engine. Maybe I should add all blogs (English and non-English) to the Google search engine - what do you think?

This is so useful; thank you for setting it up! I agree totally about how great it is to see a community of dance bloggers emerging. I'm finding wonderful new resources, inspiration, and friends among the amateur and professional dancers and dance enthusiasts who want to communicate with others about dance.

Hello,
Sure that more non Anglo-Saxon weblogs would be welcome ! Take a look at the left column of my blog and you will discover Danse à Montpellier, Idanca, Journal d'un danseur, Le Tadorne, Uncoy, and so on, which are excellent blogs.

Hey Doug,

Thank you so much for this :):) As always, you rock!

I just saw on a favorite (non dance) blog of mine the finalists for 2006 weblog awards listed, and was shocked that dance was NOT included as a category. Do you find this disturbing? With all of the fantastic blogs out there now? I am outraged!

Thanks, SalomeJustitia for your comment. I feel the same.

JD, I was just looking on your blog on Monday and looking for links of non-English dance blogs. By the way, you've some excellent links to dance videos (left-hand column) that I encourage everyone to take a look at.

Tonya, it seems that dance always manages to get under-recognized. Dance bloggers and others in dance community should probably brainstorm about what we can do to increase online profile of dance.

To begin with, I think that we should all pledge to do our research about things like weblog awards and make sure to nominate blogs like this one, and suggest dance (or performing arts) blogs as a category!
