Backstage: A Dancer’s Life
Jill and I plan to capture the moments you don’t see in a dancer’s life. We want to see it from several different angles: from beginning dancers to those that have danced for decades. We think know there’s a story here. A dancer’s life is a struggle for beauty and perfection–we aim to show that.
Pages will either be categorized by the dance group, by the genre or by the parts of a dancer: Personal Life, Practice Life, Stage Life. The story will dictate the separation.
We are using lots of video mos def. Photos will be there too, probably in Flash. Also, I’m sure a map will appear somewhere. Suggestions?

Great idea. I’m not sure how a map could be incorporated into this project, but it sounds like it will rely much on video/audio interviews and photos. Perhaps a calendar of dance events in the area would be useful?
It’s up to you whether you want to break up the site by people or by topic. It sounds like you are currently doing it by topic, but you may find that it could be just as/more effective have separate pages for each person. It really would depend on the kind of interviews you get.
