Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I know a lot about the subject. I studied dance for 27 years and am a professionally trained. I want to evaluate an article that I understand very well, and can actually contribute to improving. My preliminary impression of the article, if that it appears to be disorganized, but has some good content, and some that appear to be more opinions than based on science. These things will require citations, and I'd also like to add counter information to balance out some of the controversy. I think this is an article I would feel passionate about adding to.

Evaluate the article
(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)

Lead Section: the Lead section, based on my impression is very poorly written and needs a lot of work. It should be clear and concise with the main points appearing first.

Content: the article does have some good content, but it appears to only lightly touch each topic area, with just a paragraph or two. The whole article is only a page long, which shows there is a lot of information missing.

The page should also be linked to other Dance pages on Wikipedia, as related content. I added a note on the talk page, that most importantly, the most recent studies on Parkinson's and Dementia, which are significant not only to dance lovers, but to any patient diagnosed with these diseases, is largely missing from this page. I think this will be the first edit that I make to this page.

Tone and Balance: Appears to be very lacking. At time it appears some sentences are only opinions, and in the talk page there is a lot of banter back and forth about people writing over other people's edits.

Talk Page Discussion: There is a lot of banter, as mentioned above, and it looks like there is sort or a tug-o-war amoung the other users over content. I hope to neutralize this with citations and more clear and concise tone and language.

Images: There isn't a lot of images found on this page.
