Catching Up with Community Dance Theory

Presentations from "New Directions in Community Dance," a 2006 research forum in the U.K., are now online. The Foundation for Community Dance and De Montfort University, Leicester, hosted the forum on May 6 to bring together community dance practitioners, teachers, students and academics to present, share and debate ideas. The term "community dance" has barely surfaced in the U.S., but the U.K. forum seriously discussed whether it has already lost its meaning. Presentations dealt with dance politics today; educating for the knowledge society and its impact on community dance; blurring the distinctions between "professional" and "community" performance; case studies on teaching for creativity and dance for the deaf; and the complexities of the intersection of community dance and religion.
