Dancehop blog: events, news, lifestyle, lessons, video, and more

I'd like to thank everyone who has helped alpha test DanceHop so far, you guys are great!  We've been gradually incorporating feedback and ideas, and are getting a lot closer to sharing this with everyone.
A lot of bugs that bog down the user experience have been cleaned up.  We have a few more to take care of, and some great features coming up before we move to an open beta.  It's my hope that within a week or two we'll be able to help you find events in your city, and make it easy to share with your friends. In the mean time, get in touch to have your voice heard. Read More

I noticed some banner ads around the web on a variety of sites such as facebook, digg, and other places, and became curious about how this campaign that became successful really quickly. The first banner I ever saw showed two different stomach pics, trying to show weight loss of some random gal. Along with the somewhat shocking images, and the word "Obey" prominently displayed, along with text such as, "as seen on Rachel Ray".
