Welcome to Kid Dancers Wiki
This is about many of the kid dancers in the world.
Rules can be found here: Kid Dancers Wiki:Policy.
Rules for editing can be found here: Kid Dancers Wiki:Editing.

History
This Wiki was the former Kid Dancers Wikia - https://kiddancers.fandom.com. - founded by LukasiakManiac in 2016 and currently owned by (Spacetrain31) to give competition kids a platform where they or others could post contest results, upload photos and videos of their dances and document their success as dancers and many more. Many of them became later big stars as professional dancers, choreographers, actors or actresses, singers, models, athletes or social media personalities and the Wiki became to a sort of resume of some dancers who got public eye and became public figures, even when just a couple years old. Other simply retired from dancing and moved on to other things. The number of dancers started to grow close to 1,500 dancers, when Fandom asked us to leave.
There were two problems:
- First, Fandom collected the Wiki into their commercial pool and this led into commercial liabilities and burdens to continue with the personal data from the dancers when the COPPA was enforced in April 2020.
- And second, Fandom offered no features for entering new pages or data without reviewing first and it went public directly. In consequence, the reviews came sometimes late and some issues got never noticed. The escalation with Fandom started, when a group of parents, we did not get the names, complained that some kids or others posted their data without parents permissions. So Fandom wanted us to leave for liability reasons and more.
After leaving Fandom, the site was restarted on Miraheze - https://kiddancers.miraheze.org - in the Netherlands and stayed for about four or five years. Sadly during that migration a lot of data was lost, because the formats were not supported and we didn't get much time to download it all. However, recently Miraheze asked us to leave without much argument, and we shortly looked into SkyWiki. But they had issues with hosting the wiki in Germany as well. So now we are running on our own fully owned Virtual Private Server (VPS) in the United States, no more data in Europe. There's nothing to worry about for now. It will take some time to fix all gaps, adjust all formats and give the site a good new design. We made fast and good progress. So we think we will back online soon with all old and some new features. We are sorry for that and thank you for your patience.
Temporary Access Restriction Due to Vandalism, Trolling and Sloppy Editing
Unfortunately, we've had cases of sloppy editing, vandalisms and trolling of users. The reason behind the constant rollbacks is not because of information conflicts, it is due to over-usage of the visual editor and not using the source editor. That's because each time most of those times, using the visual editor causes gaps in table cells and sometimes lists in table cells being in a sloppy straight line instead being stacked up like a real list; hence why these have been declared sloppy editing. And that's why you need to use the source editor in addition to the visual editor. In consequence, we were forced to restrict the entire Kid Dancers Wiki access to admin and owner only, without any warning or explanations, because you cannot read them after then too, and our site admin has to clean up the mess alone without much help and is in charge for what is going public. So all search engine entries of the sites are vanishing after a couple days by that as well. We are sorry for this, but we were already forced to change the platform due unreviewed content before. Please understand, this is a non-profit site by volunteers. Pro dancers should be aware of such possible inconveniences in self-marketing. So to everyone out there, be careful!
Kid Dancers Crowdfunding
Some of the dancers covered here have started to ask for crowdfunding for various services, illnesses, etc. To donate to these dancers in question, click here.

This wiki is not intended to embarrass anybody nor to make a profit. So if you are a parent and you see your kid being talked about on a page and you don't want them to be featured here, don't just clear an entire page, mess it up and/or even leave a delete tag on it, please contact Spacetrain31 on his talk page and that article will be taken down. Same thing applies for what certain information you would like to see or not see.
