Aims and Scopes
To serious students and lovers of dance, Dance Chronicle is indispensable for keeping up with this rapidly changing field. It covers a wide variety of topics, including dance and music, theater, film, literature, painting, and aesthetics. Individual issues have been devoted to Bournonville, Gautier on Spanish dance, the Camargo Society, and Moscow's Island of Dance. Articles have ranged from Greek folk dance, the dancing choirboys of Seville Cathedral, and dance education in Ghana to dancing for Broadway, Hollywood, and BBC Television, from renaissance and baroque dance and the romantic ballet to Sada Yacco, Jean Borlin, Balanchine, Maya Plisetskaya, Merce Cunningham, the Judson Dance Theater, Trisha Brown, Meredith Monk, and Siobham Davies. Offering the best from both established dance historians and the new generations of dance scholars, Dance Chronicle is an ideal source for those who love dance, both past and present.
