In distinction to many extant histories of ballet, The Oxford
Handbook of Contemporary Ballet prioritizes connections between
ballet communities as it interweaves chapters by scholars, critics,
choreographers, and working professional dancers. The book looks at
the many ways ballet functions as a global practice in the 21st
century, providing new perspectives on ballet's past, present, and
future. As an effort to dismantle the linearity of academic canons,
the fifty-three chapters within provide multiple entry points for
readers to engage in balletic discourse. With an emphasis on
composition and process alongside dances created, and the assertion
that contemporary ballet is a definitive era, the book carves out
space for critical inquiry. Many of the chapters consider whether
or not ballet can reconcile its past and actually become present,
while others see ballet as flexible and willing to be remolded at
the hands of those with tools to do so.
