Dance Advantage, an online resource dedicated to providing quality articles, news, and information regarding training and movement study, is a leader within the small community of blogs dedicated to writing about dance education. Since it’s beginnings in April 2008, Dance Advantage has seen many blogs fizzle and welcomed new bloggers (and new voices) to the blogosphere. The material at Dance Advantage is often magazine-quality and is one of few prolifically updated resources. Creator and editor, Nichelle Strzepek, has made her personal voice and opinions known. As a result, she has gained respect as an expert source within the online dance community.

• Affordable Advertising: Dance Advantage targets a specific dance audience at a rate that is affordable for businesses of any size or budget.
• Relevant and Engaging: Prolific updating of thorough and engaging content keeps readers coming back and helps search engine surfers discover relevant dance news and articles.
• Beyond Blogging: In addition to the blog site, Dance Advantage has a strong presence on social networks, expanding your reach as well.
• Visibility: Dance Advantage is careful and selective in its affiliation with advertisers and limits commercial “real estate” to tasteful 125×125 box ads which are prominently displayed under the heading Recommended Resources in the sidebar.
• Trust: Dance Advantage favors word-of-mouth style promotion, offering its slots to high-quality resources. I seek to develop relationships with advertisers, offering resources I can personally recommend to readers. This creates a triangle of trust and support between Advertiser, Dance Advantage readers, and I, benefitting all. Loyal readers recognize that Dance Advantage stands behind its recommendations, while new readers appreciate not being bombarded with unrelated ads that interrupt the flow of content.

Ad Formats

It is my wish to provide a reader experience that is as uncluttered as possible. Therefore, I am currently offering site-wide, 125×125 image blocks. These appear “above the fold,” immediately to the right of all latest content and will link to your landing page URL. This space can be reserved month-by-month or in 6-month increments.

In addition, I offer the option to advertise through Dance Advantage’s RSS feed. Your text link (with a short tagline) will be published with every new DA post (3 to 4 times per week). This space can be reserved month-by-month.

Keep in Mind: I can only accept advertising from companies or products I feel I can legitimately support and therefore rarely accept advertising from companies or services that I don’t already use. If you think that your site, service, or product is right for Dance Advantage, please consider inviting me to review your product or service. I reserve the right to refuse any ad based on content of the ad or the product or site being promoted.
