Dance hall (Jamaican)

In my review of this article from what we learned in class it could use a severe update. Much of the information was informative but short and not detailed. It lacked the upbeat and expressiveness found in actual dance halls that I believe would do this article justice. The article has a solid neutral tone that made it clear to read. I wish that this article expressed more about the cultural and value of these dance halls if any. It was interesting how the article looked at DJs and included external links for US ones giving tribute to a selective amount of music played at the halls. Included numerous sources but lacked the information that could have came from them that would over all strength the article.
 * Hi! This is Prof. Smithson. I agree with you that this article is rather lackluster. I suspect there has been far more attention to the dancehall article about the musical genre. The challenge of expanding the article on the actual clubs called "dance halls" would be to decide what belongs in this article, and then gesture toward the musical genre, fashion style, and dance style of the same name. In other words, this would need to be an article about places called dance halls in Jamaica, and what goes on in those places would only be covered in a minimal way, since there are other articles that delve deeper into the music and style aspects. Good work! I'm looking forward to seeing what article you settle on. Abukun (talk) 13:37, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
