The collection of essays demonstrates that ballet is not a single
White Western dance form but has been shaped by a range of other
cultures. In so doing, the authors open a conversation and
contribute to the discourse beyond the vantage point of mainstream
to look at such issues as homosexuality and race. And to
demonstrate that ballet's denial of the first and exclusion of the
second needs rethinking. This is an important contribution to dance
scholarship. The contributors include professional ballet dancers
and teachers, choreographers, and dance scholars in the UK, Europe
and the USA to give a three dimensional overview of the field of
ballet beyond the traditional mainstream. It sets out to
acknowledge the alternative and parallel influences that have
shaped the culture of ballet and demonstrates they are alive,
kicking and have a rich history. Ballet is complex and encompasses
individuals and communities, often invisiblized, but who have
contributed to the diaspora of ballet in the twenty-first century.
It will initiate conversations and contribute to discourses about
the panorama of ballet beyond the narrow vantage point of the
mainstream - White, patriarchal, Eurocentric, heterosexual
constructs of gender, race and class. This book is certain to be a
much-valued resource within the field of ballet studies, as well as
an important contribution to dance scholarship more broadly. It has
an original focus and brings together issues more commonly
addressed only in journals, where issues of race are frequently
discussed. The primary market will be academic. It will appeal to
academics, researchers, scholars and students working and studying
in dance, theatre and performance arts and cultural studies. It
will also be of interest to dance professionals and practitioners.
Academics and students interested in the intersection of gender,
race and dance may also find it interesting.
