Dance has been connected to the practices and ideologies that have
shaped notions of a Nordic region for more than a century and it is
ingrained into the culture and society of the region. This book
investigates different dance phenomena that have either engaged
with or dismantled notions of Nordicness. Looking to the motion of
dancers and dance forms between different locations, organizations
and networks of individuals, its authors discuss social dancing, as
well as historical processes associated with collaborations in folk
dance and theatre dance. They consider how similarities and
differences between the Nordic countries may be discerned, for
instance in patterns of reception at the arrival of dance forms
from outside the Nordic countries - and vice versa, how dance from
the Nordic countries is received in other parts of the world, as
seen for example in the Nordic Cool Festival at the Kennedy Centre
in 2013. The book opens a rare window into Nordic culture seen
through the prism of dance. While it grants the reader new insights
into the critical role of dance in the formation and imagining of a
region, it also raises questions about the interplay between dance
practices and politics.
