Originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Dance
Education, this collection brings together a number of insightful
chapters which explore themes relating to responsible citizenship
within dance education. Presenting research, scholarship,
experiences, and pedagogical approaches from national and
international contexts, and diverse educational settings, the
chapters included in this book demonstrate how the study of dance
requires students to develop a clear sense of self- and
group-responsibility. Including high-level contributions from a
range of researchers, educators, and dance instructors, the volume
investigates how research and instruction can contribute to
building communities; and ensure that dance education reacts to
shifting social, political, and cultural norms. Responsible
citizenship and civic engagement are examined in relation to course
content, pedagogical approaches, systemic practices, and cultural
assumptions. This valuable collection of diverse and insightful
chapters will be of great interest to researchers, post-graduate
academics, teachers and instructors in the fields of dance and
teacher education.

This book critically examines matters of age and aging in relation
to dance. As a novel collection of diverse authors' voices, this
edited book traverses the human lifespan from early childhood to
death as it negotiates a breadth of dance experiences and contexts.
The conversations ignited within each chapter invite readers to
interrogate current disciplinary attitudes and dominant assumptions
and serve as catalysts for changing and evolving long entrenched
views among dancers regarding matters of age and aging. The text is
organized in three sections, each representing a specific context
within which dance exists. Section titles include educational
contexts, social and cultural contexts, and artistic contexts.
Within these broad categories, each contributor's milieu of lived
experiences illuminate age-related factors and their many
intersections. While several contributing authors address and
problematize the phenomenon of aging in mid-life and beyond, other
authors tackle important issues that impact young dancers and dance
professionals.

The first of its kind, this volume presents case studies from
experts in the field of dance education, examining theory and
practice developed from real-world scenarios that call for ethical
decision-making. Dilemmas faced by dance instructors in the studio,
on stage, in recreation centers and correctional facilities, and on
social media are explored, accompanied by activities for humanizing
dance pedagogy. These challenges converge from educational policies
and mandates developed over the past two decades, including
teacher-proof "scripted" curriculum, high-stakes testing,
standardization and methods-centered teacher preparation, and are
often perpetuated by those who want to make change happen but do
not know.
