SUSAN KIM Ballet Student, Supporter Los Angeles, California USA BIO | POSTS

Because my right leg (and my driving foot) has been out of commission, my recuperation has kept me house-bound and house-arrested for the past two months. I think I might have lost all sense of sanity if it weren’t for my access to the world wide web. (I should note that the “world” in “world wide web” should be stressed, scored and emphasized, for the Internet proved to be the sole means through which I could access anything beyond Apartment 5.)

One of my favourite re-discoveries was Dance Channel TV. (I first discovered the site some time ago, by weaving my way through a series of fortuitous links.) The site was founded by Arsen Serobian with the hope of connecting dance lovers throughout the world and also introducing new people to dance.

To achieve this, the site offers a platform on which its members can share a plethora of videos (arranged in channels according to more than fifteen different disciplines), photographs and events. My favourite feature is the weekly dance news broadcasts. There are also additional lifestyle channels on dance style, yoga for dancers and cuisine for dancers.

Today, I discovered that Dance Channel TV is actively petitioning to transform its web-based dance community into a television syndicate. Not unlike the site, the proposed Dance Channel TV network would bring the variety of dance channels it currently offers online straight into the home via cable or satellite providers. (So cool!)

For anyone interested in adding their name to the petition, they can show their support by signing here. (Per the rallying cry of Dance Channel TV: “Connect! Explore! Come dance with us!”)
