This new collection of essays surveys the history of dance in an
innovative and wide-ranging fashion. Editors Dils and Albright
address the current dearth of comprehensive teaching material in
the dance history field through the creation of a multifaceted,
non-linear, yet well-structured and comprehensive survey of select
moments in the development of both American and World dance. This
book is illustrated with over 50 photographs, and would make an
ideal text for undergraduate classes in dance ethnography,
criticism or appreciation, as well as dance history--particularly
those with a cross-cultural, contemporary, or an American focus.
The reader is organized into four thematic sections which allow for
varied and individualized course use: Thinking about Dance History:
Theories and Practices, World Dance Traditions, America Dancing,
and Contemporary Dance: Global Contexts. The editors have
structured the readings with the understanding that contemporary
theory has thoroughly questioned the discursive construction of
history and the resultant canonization of certain dances, texts and
points of view. The historical readings are presented in a way that
encourages thoughtful analysis and allows the opportunity for
critical engagement with the text.
