In this unprecedented volume, Professor Thomas Hagood brings
together the voices of key dance educators to express their views
on the legacy of dance education. The book examines the values and
practices dance educators live with, and what values and practices
they take forward to promote or even retool and reinvent in their
professional work. The book also engages in discussions of the
people who embody (or have embodied) the values and practices the
dance education field takes ownership of. Through working with and
being exposed to teachers in the dance field, the editor and his
contributors express how their learning and professional
development has been inspired and shaped by their interactions with
their mentors. It follows that legacy is important territory for
dancers to consider as educators and as people. Such deep
discussion of legacy in educational dance is not widely evidenced
in existing literature. Since it is not an easy nor simple task to
inventory what dance educators have absorbed from mentors with an
objective or analytically aware eye, this book will serve well to
expand this discussion. Critical assessment in dance education is
also challenged by the fact that the field itself is very young. In
analyzing legacy, the book interestingly shows that the mentors
discussed may well be about people who are still very much alive.
The book also addresses how dance is so culturally challenged by
archetypal notions of who practices it, as well as its educational
value and worth. The book presents dance scholars with many
opportunities to learn new dimensions of dance history, to reflect
on practices both old and new, to appreciate the values that shape
their work in danceeducation, to get to know people who may not
appear in the historic record, to revisit the gifts of those whom
they may consider giants in the field have left, to consider the
landscape of dance education as it has been shaped over time. The
inclusion of the voices and contributions of some of the fields
most prominent dance educators in this book and the critical issues
they discuss make this book a must for every dance collection.
