Online Tools for Dancers
Dancers are online (which is obvious, if you are reading this). They are making use of the tools and networks that are popping up on the internet and recently I have been using, exploring, and doing a lot of writing and thinking about these tools.
Learn more about what I've discovered and how I utilize these tools after the jump...

I Squidoo, Do You?
The word sounds a little crazy but Squidoo is actually a website where anyone can write and create a page (or lens as they call it at Squidoo) about anything... and I do mean anything. Squidoo is not the only website out there (Hubpages is another). What I like about Squidoo, though, is that advertising revenue is shared with various charities as well as those writing the content, and that writers can actually choose which charities they would like to see benefit from their lens. My goal is to publish content at Squidoo that varies from the content here or is a collection of some of the best info.

Starpower Introduces New Judging Technology
For tech newbies, this is what a typical jump drive looks like.
Elizabeth Barry & Associates, the PR representatives for Starpower competition, have released a statement about a technological advance at Starpower that may result in more effective judging techniques: the jump drive. Judges make commentary on a tiny USB drive, which allows teachers to view their students' performances on a computer screen while hearing critique. Read more after the "jump." (I couldn't help myself).
