All our guides are works in progress! If you know of a resource that should be included here, please tell us.

Shows how the dancing body shifts conventions of representation and provides a critical example of the relationship between cultures and the bodies that inhabited them.
Reveals how gender dynamics affect the lives of dancers, choreographers, and others who are involved in the world of dance, and adds to today's discussions about living in a gendered society.
A reckoning with ballet, whose past and present are shaped by gender, racial, and class inequities - and a look inside the fight for its future.
Discusses how to diversify ballet technique classes and dance history courses, choreographing dance about socially charged issues, incorporating Native American dances into the curriculum, and more.
Engaging with dance making, dance scholarship, queer studies, and other fields, Queer Dance asks how identities, communities, and artmaking and scholarly practices might consider what queer work the body does and can do.
Perspectives on the historically thin, flexible, and highly feminized ballet body, now taking on new and complex meanings at the intersections of performance art, popular culture, and fitness.
