This book draws on theories of aesthetics, post-colonialism,
multiculturalism and transnationalism to explore salient aspects of
perpetuating traditional dance customs in diaspora. It is the first
book to present a broad-ranging analysis of cultural dance in
Australia. Topics include adaptation of dance customs within a
post-migration context, multicultural festivals, prominent
performers, historiographies and archives, and the relative
positionings of cultural and Western theatrical dance genres. The
book offers a decolonized appraisal of dance in Australia,
critiquing past and present praxes and offering suggestions for the
future. Overall, it underscores the highly variegated nature of the
Australian dance landscape and advocates for greater recognition of
amateur community dance practices. Cultural Dance in Australia
makes a substantial contribution to the catalogue of work about
immigrants and cultural dance styles that continue to be preserved
in Australia. This book will be of interest to scholars of dance,
performance studies, migration studies and transnationalism.
