ExploreDance.com is pleased to announce its upcoming coverage of dance in the Greater Los Angeles area. This coverage was made possible in part by Jamie Nichols and Celebrate Dance.

As anyone in the know knows, there is a tremendous amount of fine dance in the Southland. ExploreDance.com's planned coverage will only get to a small portion of what ought to be seen and read about in Greater Los Angeles. If you would like to help ExploreDance.com cover even more dance in Greater Los Angeles, please consider purchasing an advertisement. We know that these are difficult economic times, so we have put together several low-cost, high-value packages, which can be found here: http://www.exploredance.com/exploredanceadpackages.html

So, get out there and explore and celebrate dance, both at Celebrate Dance 2010 and beyond.

Sincerely,
Robert Abrams (Publisher, ExploreDance.com)
