This online reference site provides over 400 links to dance related sources. It initially divides its sources into categories relating to dance history, companies, education, choreography, organizations, sexuality, genre, theory and additional reference. It also allows for a researcher to limit their search to find certain kinds of sources referencing dance and to search for specific topics not mentioned in the above categories in a specific search bar for dance. The site would aid any reporter researching dance or any subtopic relating to it by allowing them to search from a site that is already limited to their topic of interest and has a wide variety of different kinds of sources relating to dance.
