This peer-reviewed conference celebrates the growing interest in the relationship between dance research and dance pedagogy in all its forms. It brings together an international constituency to identify cutting edge research in the area as a basis for future development. A global perspective is especially important in the recognition of the range of discourses.
The conference includes papers, demonstrations and workshops on current approaches to pedagogy. We warmly welcome researchers, scholars, teachers, dancers, writers and all who are interested in dance from around the world. Please join us to discuss and debate global perspectives in the research and practice of dance pedagogy.
Keynote speakers are Christopher Bannerman, ResCen; Janice Ross, Stanford University; Thomas H DeFrantz, Hollins University/ MIT / Yale; Ken Bartlett, Foundation for Community Dance. Plenary discussions will be facilitated by Ramsay Burt, De Montfort University. You can access the conference schedule, and the list of presenters, via the links below. Abstracts will be posted soon.
