Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork in New York and Dakar,
this book explores the Senegalese dance-rhythms Sabar from the
research position of a dance student. It features a comparative
analysis of the pedagogical techniques used in dance classes in New
York and Dakar, which in turn shed light on different aesthetics
and understandings of dance, as well as different ways of learning,
in each context. Pointing to a loose network of teachers and
students who travel between New York and Dakar around the practice
of West African dance forms, the author discusses how this movement
is maintained, what role the imagination plays in mobilizing
participants and how the 'cultural flow' of the dances is
'punctuated' by national borders and socio-economic relationships.
She explores the different meanings articulated around Sabar's
transatlantic movement and examines how the dance floor provides
the grounds for contested understandings, socio-economic
relationships and broader discourses to be re-choreographed in each
setting.
