YOU CAN PAY IT FORWARD
Several months after the launching of contemporary-dance.org, I started receiving kind messages from grateful readers.
Besides the greetings and compliments for the quality of the site, some people have asked me if there is a way to reward me for the information and service I am providing.
Off course there are several ways, not only to reward me, but to contribute to the service that contemporary-dance.org offers to the worldwide dancing community:
1. Spread the word: tell your colleagues and friends that contemporary-dance.org exists; send and share links from contemporary-dance.org via e-mail, apps, or through your social media accounts.
2. Participate at our FORUM: you may have received an answer to a question you had once... now, add your knowledge to the questions that other posted, in exchange for what you received.
3. Share your news: remember that there's a section for this at our website and it depends on the content that you all send me.
4. Contribute with content: if you have original videos, music or written material related to contemporary dance that may be useful for others, send it to be shared through the website. Just contact me and I'll find out where it fits better.
5. Give me a hand to pay the monthly costs of hosting, domain registration, technical maintanance, updates and upgrades and other constant attention that the website requires for staying live:
1. Buy Maria a cup of coffee ...........................................2 usd
2. Pay for Maria's snack …………………………...…........5 usd
3. Support contemporary-dance.org...............………………….…..……11 usd
6. Buy "The Handy E-book of Contemporary Dance History". It is a great summary that will keep your memory fresh or, if you are new in our community, it will introduce you to our history in an easy way.
If you believe that this website has provided you with valuable information and you feel this project deserves your gratitude, support its existence and ongoing growth by contributing with one of the possibilities listed above.
You can also help contemporary-dance.org by showing this page to any person or institution that would agree to support it.
Or, if you represent an institution yourself or make part of one, and want to explicitly sponsor the site, contact me directly and tell me if you desire your corporate image or brand to be displayed online.
I sincerely thank you all for your support and understanding of dance as a common project. I’m trying to put my little grain of sand here, but it will sure be greater with the help of all.
Kindly,
Maria
Editor and Webmaster

| Dear Maria, I love this site! Very helpful, interesting and inspiring. I live in UAE but am originally russian. I love dance! It's my life, but I have a problem. This country does not have what I want and need: Professional Dance. I'd sit everyday on the internet researching and researching which would upset me because I want to be a dancer but I don't know if I have a chance. I am still 15 going on 16. I just don't want to pull time until I'm old enough to travel wherever. Your website is really great and bet took hard work! |

Hi....Maria. Thank you so much for the articles... it inspires me a lot during my improvisation class... :) I really want to go abroad to study dance further... I was accepted in the program called Boogiezone Exchange (USA), this summer, but I can't go because the visa was refused twice by the US embassy here in Indonesia.... and I was almost desperate, I really want the chance to experience dance studies there in the USA. But after I receive these emails about dance and knowledge, I become spirited to start again and look for the positive side. :) Thanks so much for the inspirations and information.... Really helps me out in my situation... :) |
