Dance Information Online

Good central location to everything (well, almost) you want to know about dancing.

-> http://www.knowledgehound.com/topics/dance.htm
Basically this is a central portal to various dancing web sites. Has many links to web sites on dances from ballroom, latin, hip hop, rock & rol, ballet, break dance, etc, and even web sites on general information on dancing.


-> http://www.ballroomdancers.com
My favourite hang out site. Loaded with dancing resources and information. Allows you to learn how to dance easily via step-by-step video (yes, video streaming on dance steps!), listen some sample dance music, buy/sell dancing apparel, etc.

Teaches a lot of dances. The main shortcoming is that it is purely TEXT. Dance steps are described in text, making rather hard to imagine. But still, a good web site to really understand the steps, in a technical perspective.
