Senegal has played a central role in contemporary dance due to its
rich performing traditions, as well as strong state patronage of
the arts, first under French colonialism and later in the
postcolonial era. In the 1980s, when the Senegalese economy was in
decline and state fundingwithdrawn, European agencies used the
performing arts as a tool in diplomacy. This had a profound impact
on choreographic production and arts markets throughout Africa. In
Senegal, choreographic performers have taken to contemporary dance,
while continuing to engage with neo-traditional performance,
regional genres like the sabar, and the popular dances they grew up
with. A historically informed ethnography of creativity, agency,
and the fashioning of selves through the different life stages in
urban Senegal, this book explores the significance of this multiple
engagement with dance in a context of economic uncertainty and
rising concerns over morality in the public space.
