Sinopsis

Dancing Communities is a landmark volume in dance scholarship, and examines performances that create urban communities by blurring, or reinforcing, complex cultural and ethnic boundaries. It argues that amateur and concert dance practices are laboratories for examining the myriad complex intersections of gender, sexuality, class, ethnicity and culture. In the five sites examined here, dance creates small and generative worlds: sometimes havens, sometimes hauntopias. The everyday labors and final products of dance in the global city offer intimacy, solidarity, and communal and cultural continuity for performers and audiences.
