New Dancing Web Site Launched

Hi! My name is Gary Goerk.

As you can see, I've just launched a web site for the dancing community in Pennsylvania and Ohio. It will soon be available on plenty of search engines. In the meantime, you can access the site by searching on Yahoo.

The URL is http://www.whenyougottadance.com/. Type in the URL.

I've created this blog so we can get to know each other and keep in touch in the coming months as the web site grows in popularity. I plan on expanding it in a number of ways, including adding many more listings with the help of the dancing community and adding more features.

I wanted the site to be comprehensive, covering the many dance styles out there, and easy to navigate. The site will have advertisers and sponsors (I hope), but advertisements will never overwhelm the listings and useful information on the site. And I will work hard to make sure the listings and links are up to date.

My web site even has listings of nightclubs, pubs and restaurants in Ohio and Pennsylvania that feature dancing.

It's my hope that you will all "dance outside your box". If you are a ballroom dancer, try out some square dancing or contra dancing. If you only line dance or freestyle, why not take a ballroom lesson. Then there is the long list of ethnic and folk dances. Haven't you been mesmerized by the fascinating footwork of Celtic dancers, the sizzling movements of Flamenco, or the flowing gestures of dancers from India.

In fact, I've made a personal commitment that, despite my love of ballroom and Latin dancing, I will stick my toe in the waters of as many dance styles as I can over the coming years.

If you are a "wanna be" dancer, you will probably find a lesson near you if you live in Pennsylvania or Ohio, and you will also find online instructional resources.

I welcome your dance-related photos for the photo gallery and will soon have You Tube embedded on the site so you can view dance videos.

Finally, I welcome corrections, suggestions and submissions, as well as your comments regarding the site. I will keep you posted. Please do the same.

Good luck. God bless. And keep dancing.

Gary
