Because dance materializes through and for people, because we learn
to dance from others and often present dance to others, the moment
of its transmission is one of dance's central and defining
features. Valuing Dance looks at the occasion when dancing passes
from one person to another as an act of exchange, one that is
redolent with symbolic meanings, including those associated with
its history and all the labor that has gone into its making. It
examines two ways that dance can be exchanged, as commodity and as
gift, reflecting on how each establishes dance's relative worth and
merit differently. When and why do we give dance? Where and to whom
do we sell it? How are such acts of exchange rationalized and
justified? Valuing Dance poses these questions in order to
contribute to a conversation around what dance is, what it does,
and why it matters.
