Perspectives in Dance as Culture considers theories and
methods of dance scholarship and takes up the study of
current topics in dance and performance studies. Problems of
understanding different aesthetics, defining categories of
dance, and establishing cultural contexts will be
introduced. The examples of dance from different cultures
and genres will be used to explore these issues and to
increase knowledge and understanding of the rich and varied
development of dance forms around the world.
