Contemporary Dance on Wikipedia: Looking Back

Back in June, I wrote this post about amending the Contemporary Dance page on Wikipedia, and why it's important for dancers to share what they learn.

Thankfully, my edits are still there.

But there's one thing I'm not so thankful for. It's that no one else has contributed. And that's because adding information to Wikipedia isn't something that would occur to a dancer. But this is something that has to change, especially if we want funding for our companies. If we want people to know what our work really means when we say, "I'm a dancer."

So that's the point. Let's get to it, dancers. Not a whole lot of other people know as much, or care nearly as much as we do about dance.
