Keeley Barnaby is pitching a dance magazine called Passion targeted at ages 14 and older in the UK. The magazine will focus on dance styles like tap, contemporary, and street dance. It will include a cover story discussing the history and techniques of different dance styles through quotes from dancers. The magazine aims to both inform dancers and teach non-dancers about dance.
