I've put up a new forum-based website for the Washington, DC area's West Coast Swing and general dance community. I took a very clean vBulletin template and added quite a bit to it, including a photo gallery, download center, online radio, adsense, a greatly enhanced registration system and more.

www.dcswing.com

Please let me know what you guys think, and if you'd be so kind as to register, it would be greatly appreciated.

Glad you like it!

I was seriously thinking about making the Jukebox member's only. Or, maybe making one available to guests and the other member's only.

Nice site... Would it maybe be better to have the site description above the fold so people entering the site know what it is about?

Yes, it does what it's intended to do. The design is crisp and clear. But I would think you'd want more appropriate artwork. The logo itself looks "happenin'" but maybe you should put an image of some 1940s dancers next to it. Is there a font that says "swing" better than the one you're using? Editing your stylesheet to increase the letter spacing a little bit (.1 em, I think) might make the text look more cool and old fashioned.

Try hard to target regional visitors by proper search engine optimization. Put into the headlines the names of the suburbs where you dance. Yeah, put the names of the top venues on the home page. Use the word Washington often, as well as DC.

Good idea to keep maybe one jukebox available to guests, and a couple more for members.... and i like the idea of adding some dancing characters and giving the frontpage more of a dance feel

You've got a nice forum there. I love those clean blue shades.

Just perfect for your site. Layout is great too.

Congrats!

1940's dancers ??? WHY ? West Coast Swing is NOT 1940's jitterbug or swing !

I love WCS, my favorite dance actually I'm not in DC, but I just might join your forum .

I would agree though, maybe some dance artwork of some sort - this place has some nice dance artwork: http://www.danceart.com/

The photo gallery is cool, but some more 'action' photos of your members actually dancing would be helpful, put the party photos together separately.
