[edit] tango

I would suggest to make two tango topics (and consequently split up the tango page.) Argentine tango and ballroom tango are two worlds that barely ever touch. As that page is currently under some development, it might be wise to wait a while before splitting it up, though. Any opinions? Kosebamse 17:28 27 Jul 2003 (UTC)


While this may sound facetious it isn't meant that way. Exotic dancing is a dance form that I believe deserves an entry in its own right - I have not added it, however, as it does not have (unlike most, if not all, of the others) discrete moves with technical names and thus cannot be specifically choreographed. It is, however, quite easy to distinguish it from other dance forms and it is stylistically unique. Melody 04:30, 24 Aug 2003 (UTC)


I added some references to western couple dancing in the Ballroom section as it seemed the most appropriate location. I realize that these types of dances are not naturally associated with "competitive" ballroom dancing, but then I felt that the section could easily enough include this type or style of couples dancing.

[edit] bibliography?

how about a dance bibliography ? Ohka- 11:51, 31 May 2004 (UTC)

It would be good, but it better be annotated and classified, otherwise it will be useless. By the way, articles about books are perfectly valid in wikipedia. Mikkalai 04:51, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] content

the very top of the article says:

These should be the most basic topics in the field--topics about which we'd like to have articles soon. Please see the most basic encyclopedia article topics for general instructions on constructing this list.

Ohka, I really suggest you to read more about rules of wikipedia. You boldly started lots of edits, and I am afraid you are not always careful. I hate reverting editions of a good contributor. Mikkalai 03:00, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

you miss understand , or i should have explained more, the biblography would be a point of refernce for people making dance entires that all could draw on, to add to entries as further reading - see my user page for example. - a common resourse would save time. books tend to last longer than urls and have nmore detailed and specfic infromation . please excuse my spelling mistakes i have dyslexia, the mix of edits a part of a larger plan and although i work on several pages at the same time they are linked / related Ohka- 03:27, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Sorry, it is you who misunderstood me. I was not referring to your question. I started a new section, explaining my reversal of your added items. .... Ot the other hand, I look briefly in the lists of the basic tolics of other subjects and see that they don't really hold the agreement to stick to the basic issues. So probably I was wrong. You might want to think of this again and possibly add your changes back, if you decide them basic enough. Please don't forget there is a list of (supposedly) ALL dance topics, so Dance basic topics should be the roots, the core of hierarchies of dance topics. Mikkalai 04:48, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Why is this in the Wikipedia: namespace?

I don't understand. Why is this not in the main namespace? Lupin|talk|popups 21:27, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ballet

Ballet is one of my favourite types of dance. It is also one of my favourite things to do. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.210.109.243 (talk) 22:53, 26 March 2007 (UTC).
