Description
Ballet has long been perceived as a predominantly white, cis-heteropatriarchal form of dance. However, this collection challenges that narrative by shedding light on the overlooked influences that have shaped the culture of ballet. Through essays and contributions from professional dancers, choreographers, and scholars, (Re:) Claiming Ballet explores the rich and complex history of ballet, highlighting its intersection with class, gender normativity, and race. This volume introduces new thinkers and perspectives, sparking conversations about the roles of these factors in the dance form's development. As a valuable resource for academics, researchers, and scholars, as well as dance professionals and practitioners, this book offers a fresh understanding of ballet's diverse influences and its continued relevance today.
