thread_title:  Possible new sources 

message: There seem to be no new information about dance past the 1980s. It would be great to add how dance evolved in the 2000s. New platforms where dance can be showcased such as television competition show, social media, music videos, etc. would be interesting to mention Mbour181 (talk) 21:39, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  New era of dance 

message: This article needs coverage of the history of Asian dance forms in addition to the current western coverage. I will request from wikipedians who are familiar in this area to contribute. Arunram 17:27, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Asian dance history 

message: Unfortunately this article doesn't make clear that there's more to dancing than just ballet and contemporary dancing. I miss - for example - African, Asian and Indian traditional dancing; especially Asian dancing theatre is a wide chapter. And then: No single word about social dancing? - Thetawave
So true... I mean, there are paintings dating back centuries depicting what might have been belly dancing (raqs sharki) which outstrips ballet, certainly, in age.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.222.65.225 (talk) 21:35, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  And yet ballet's not everything... 

message: This page presents nothing between pre-history and the 1700s. What about medieval dance and renaissance dance, both of which have Wikipedia pages? Not to mention the Historical Dance Wikipedia page... Greg 05:19, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pre-history?! 

message: I agree with him/her?!
I agree 2 cause theres not enough of the more important stuff and people need easier language to follow  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.153.175.226 (talk) 08:10, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  I agree 

message: I was interested in learning about the history of parties and festivals, specifically with regard to when the modern western practices of slow dancing and grinding developed.  I want to know what there was before.  
Perhaps Victorian separation of the sexes and taboos against dancing kept slow dancing and grinding out of existence.  Also, perhaps the music genres of ballads (associated with slow dancing) and rap and reggaeton (associated with grinding) weren't in existence or prevalent.  But it seems improbable to me that slow dancing and grinding are entirely new phenomena in the world.  Message me if you know how to help answer my questions.

replies: text: Yes, I was also interested in this type of thing.  I was just watching a Russian movie from the 70s that showed college age kids at a party dancing much the same way as Americans in that era did. And since most historical movies show more formal dancing at parties and formals, I wonder what this non-formal type of dancing means in society.  I want to read something about it not just formulate my own ideas based on speculation.  So I think that it would be good to have more information in this article about such things. -- Suso (talk) 23:16, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Integrated/mixed ability dance 

message: Article shows an almost lunatic obsession with professional dance, such as ballet, to the exclusion of dance as part of normal social life. What becomes of traditional dance as part of life in Africa? What becomes of ballroom dance, which for much of the last 200 years has been the main public recreation which men and women can enjoy together? For a history, this is most unhistoric.

thread_title:  Seriously one-sided 

message: This article is very well made. There are a lot of details. It has a lot of sources.

thread_title:  Article evaluation 

message: Hi all, 
I just finished writing the section on African Dance so that the template on African Dance could be removed, thus allowing the template to be removed from the Africa page. I think it's alright. One of the main problems, however, that I see with my writing is that I pulled from sources that discuss current African dance; the sources that I pulled from talk about the history of African dances in the context of contemporary dances. I had to write it to focus on the history, which makes the dances sound as if they are not continuing today, which they are. In addition, I believe I have made the African dances sound very alien by the seemingly necessary repetition of words like traditional. I need another editor to review my writing to ensure that these problems do not remain.  NANPLover47 (talk) 05:33, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
