THE ( INTER ) MISSION

Hello WIngers!

We’d like to invite you to join THE ( INTER ) MISSION - a Social Network for DANCE - brought to you by The WInger.

The intermission is a time when people in both the audience and backstage can decompress and discuss what’s happening with like-minded people. They share what they’ve seen, what they’ve done, experiences, ideas, and opinions.

The mission is to bring that discussion online, to a group of unique individuals with one common interest, potentially bringing new life, ideas, and expertise to ongoing issues within the dance world.

The site functions a lot like MySpace and Facebook but there is one important difference - everyone on the site has an interest in DANCE.

There are currently over 100 members, so you won’t be lonely. Also, if you are a member or organizer of a dance company of any kind, the Group feature makes it really easy to have a central spot in which to promote your company. Individuals can also add photos, videos, blog posts, forum discussions, customized widgets, RSS feeds…

All blog posts and forum discussions throughout the network appear on the main page (unless you choose to keep them private), opening up everything you contribute to a community of dance enthusiasts.

In the future I’m hoping to be able to offer discounts or special offers to our members for performances or dance products.
If you are an event organizer or represent a company that creates dance products and would like to work on creating a special offer in conjunction with THE ( INTER ) MISSION, let us know.

Hope to see you at the intermission!

Kristin,

Your capacity for connecting dancers with technology is absolutely amazing. I can definitely say that I’ve learned a lot from this site and the people that have participated on it, and simply to have a forum like this is outstanding, bringing together dancers of diversified interests. And now you bring this wonderful facebook-esque type site along with it (and are in an Apple commercial no less!) Perhaps I’m gushing a bit, but dancers everywhere should be very thankful that you are so involved in this aspect, something so exceptionally beneficial.

Thanks, Kristin:-)

Kristin,

Thanks for putting together THE ( INTER ) MISSION.

I love it! I’m discovering so much about dance, technology, and meeting so many great people!

This is definitely a great development - I’m sure it will open up many more avenues for dance.

I think the potential for connecting with merchants, venues, and services is so rich. There are many revenue models here we haven’t even begun thinking about - very excited to see what develops in this space.
