I haven't looked at the site because it takes so long to load that I got bored (I'm using broadband). There is a big problem somewhere, perhaps you need to optimise your images or is it a large music file waiting to load? Either way no one is going to wait around that long for your site to load.

I tried twice with about a 30 minute gap.

How odd - I always do site checks on a dial-up connection and the site loaded almost immediately for me three times in separate browsers. Did you fix it since Donkey posted?

It looks good in IE6, Fx1.5 (some build or other) and Opera8.02. I like the visuals a lot (how do they do that with their bodies? :)) but your main text is fixed, therefore, theoretically, it cannot be resized in IE. But I suggest you do try to resize it and watch what happens to your news column, the "flying marquee" text and you may also get a flash of silver background where you don't want it. In Firefox the display starts to break at two text size increases (which is really the minimum you should be designing for) - watch "Let's dance together".

Whilst the content text is about OK on 1024 resolution screens, the lines of text become far too long on higher resolution screens and it is difficult accurately to scan/read from the end of one line to the start of the next. You could consider setting a maximum width for Firefox and using a work around for IE. (Google for IE max-width).

Nice site altogether. Well done Darren but I have to confess I was backing Colin.:)

Edit: you might like to check out your date do-da on some pages is says [blank] February and on others it shows today's date. What else? oh yes - some spelling/grammatical probs. in your tag lines - I haven't gone through the content text.
"Dance is sport and dance is art. It make(s) people closer to each other."
"When dancing was born, where did it appear(ed) first, "
"Dancing is more than relax (suggest relaxing or a relaxation), it is culture and it bring(s) beauty to life."

I have broadband and it loaded fine for me.

I like the site, although I can't tell what the pic is behind the dancing couples on each page.

I think you could jazz it up a bit; no pun intended.

Overall, it's fine and dandy.

could use a little bit more colour ;)

also only underline links, not normal text, it's confusing, (main page "Definition")

also be consistent in your links presentation: use all underlined on hover/normal or not.

the grammar could do with a bit of a polish:

Useful link (surely more than one useful link?!)

and maybe rewrite "
Dancing - it is life!
Dancing is more than relax, it is culture and it bring beauty to life"

Dancing - it's life!. Dancing is more than relaxation; it is culture and brings beauty to life

and try this smoother version of your dancers pic
