Dance Films Association
     Includes a database of "dance films and videos in current distribution in the U.S., and includes videos in circulation around the world," as well as information about DFA's events, including its annual Dance on Camera Festival.

Dance Insider
     "The online source of next-day reviews of dance performances." Overnight reviews of ballet and modern dance performances, especially in New York, but from other cities as well.
