This is the first website that I found to be presenting information similar to what I want to do. The index page of the webpage is plain and very bright in choice of colour. At the top of the page there is a banner with small images representing different dances, when clicked they lead to a page where basic info about the dance is presented. There are three icons at the bottom of the page which lead to pages about history, basic moves, and famous dancers. This is similar to what i would like to do on my website. I will provide information on the dance, but in addition I will have videos for users to watch the dance being performed. Although this website has some good ideas, the way in which it is presented is not professional. The use of vibrant colours and basic layout means that it lacks in authenticity and attractiveness. 
I came across this website which presents 8 different dances from different counties. The index page contains a number of images which when clicked on lead to a page of information and images of that specific dance. The idea is very similar to what I wish to make but I do find the website too simple and does not engage enough with the user. Even though the choice of colour is quite mundane I do prefer it to that of the preveious website as it is not as harsh for the eyes.
What drew me to this website is the moving images on the index page, it makes the website unique and playful, having an index page like this means that the user is more likley to want to explore the website further. I would like to be able to include moving images like this on my website.
This is the main page for the website, I like the layout and design of this page, it is neat and easy to use but without being too boring. I want to do a similar layout for my website, with the banner at the top of the page and the navigation buttons on the left.http://library.thinkquest.org/J002266F/activities1.htm
