Assessment	/Assessment

This WikiProject aims primarily to categorize and organize the various Dance related articles. A large majority of them are currently stubs, or in desperate need of work, so through this project we hope to not only organize the articles appropriately, but also to expand those that need help. And well, to get rid of all those pesky red links. :-)

• /General
• /Strategy
• /Assessment
• /Redlinks
• /Substubs

A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project is available. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects.

The entire subject and Wikipedia's coverage of it is intended to be summarized in the Outline of dance. It in turn is part of Wikipedia's outline system which is one of Wikipedia's main contents systems.

Please look it over and fill-in missing topics. If Wikipedia has an article or article section about those topics, please add links to them.

While analyzing the outline, please answer the following questions (and fix the outline as needed):

1. What's missing?
2. Is the structure of the outline (sections and indents) representative of the subject?
3. Does the outline help understand the relationships between the topics presented in the best way possible?

The overall purpose of the outline is to help readers comprehend the subject by showing what belongs to it, and within the subject what belongs to what.

The outline is a taxonomy of the subject, and also serves as a table of contents and navigation aid to browse Wikipedia's articles (and article sections) about the subject.

It is also a useful tool for the WikiProject to analyze, plan, develop, and revise dance-related material. It is a hub from which to organize related topics.

It was built as a "reverse outline", a structural model of an existing work, which in addition to being a summary of the work, can reveal the gaps and other weaknesses for revision purposes.

Please help improve it.

It's our bird's eye view.

Thank you.
