How about synchronised swimming? User:Palefire
- What about it? I guess, the same as gymnastics and catwalk walking: they all have elements of dance, but they are not "dances" in the strict sense. Mikkalai 21:36, 22 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Modern Jive
Should the various UK franchises that teach 'modern jive' be listed as seperate dances? I am talking about 'Ceroc' 'Blitz' 'leJive' and 'leRoc', thery are really just buisness names, as it is widely considered that the dance they teach is the same. Also a widely used alternative name in the UK is 'French Jive'. (written by (user:Ianbolland)
- Why not? If the the name is used, it is OK to be listed: people might want to look it up. The Modern Jive article lists them. mikka (t) 19:48, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Wikibooks
Somebody needs to make more how-to guides for dances on Wikibooks. Just go to Wikibooks:List of dances and make some articles so people can learn new dances from the Internet. (unsigned comment from anon).

[edit] Crowd Surfing
A form of dance? --Cammoore 01:34, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Capitalization
Many edits to this list consist of "properly" capitalizing or decapitalizing everyone's favorite dance. However, there is generally not consensus on whether a dance should or should not be capitalized. See here and here for full treatment, but word from the Wikipedia help desk has it that dances should not be capitalized unless their name is based on a proper noun. Good luck!--Will.i.am 04:04, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Someone please check the wikifying
I have removed ara kurdish folk dance groupara artistic and cultural group badly formated wikilink and put Ara as the name of the dance. Hopefully haven't mistaken. Biblbroks 16:55, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Table at "E"
Does anyone have an opinion on the table I created under "E"? I was thinking it might be nice to have the information laid out more uniformly. On the other hand, it doesn't really work to have "ethnic dance" (and other such broad genres) listed, because adding a "type" and "origin" isn't applicable. Thoughts? This article is perhaps more accurately titled "List of dances and dance genres". --Fang Aili talk 18:08, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
