We are delighted to announce that criticaldance has developed links with a new website londondance.com. This site has been set up to serve the needs of the dance companies and venues in London and to help audience development.<P>criticaldance will provide the forums for the new website and as you can see at the top of the forum frontpage the two new forums are now up and running. From now on all our London based postings will be directed to these new forums. To start the ball rolling we are moving various existing topics to the new forums.<P>[Edited by Azlan to fix spelling, link etc.]<BR><p>[This message has been edited by Azlan (edited June 08, 2001).]

And if you want to tell your friends about the two LondonDance.com forums, give them these links:<P> <A HREF="http://www.criticaldance.com/forum/londonperformance" TARGET=_blank>http://www.criticaldance.com/forum/londonperformance</A> <P> <A HREF="http://www.criticaldance.com/forum/londonnews" TARGET=_blank>http://www.criticaldance.com/forum/londonnews</A>

To add to my delight, Emma Pegler and Joanne have agreed to become moderators for the londondance forums. <P>Joanne is well known here especially to those who visit The studio forums regularly. Her knowledge of the UK dance scene and love of dance will give us a great boost. <P>Emma has already written several great reviews and reports for criticaldance. Apart from her great love of ballet and other dance she is a very keen tango dancer and is a board member of a high quality Jazz dance dance company - JazzXchange. <P>We're really hoping to increase our coverage of London dance. But don't forget we can only do it with your help. So if you see or hear about something good do post and let us know. Or if you have a query - ask away. We may not know the answer, but we probably know someone who does. <p>[This message has been edited by Stuart Sweeney (edited June 07, 2001).]

Some questions have been asked about the londondance.com forums. It may help if we reiterate that these new forums have been set up in connection with the launch of the new web site <A HREF="http://www.londondance.com/" TARGET=_blank>londondance.com</A>, managed by Sadler's Wells.<p>[This message has been edited by Stuart Sweeney (edited June 27, 2001).]

We have made some changes to help readers coming from londondance.com..As a result we no longer have to put the new section at the top of the board. So we have moved it to a position immediately after 'Theater', which probably fits in better with the exisitng board structure.
