Description
When Men Dance explores the complex and often contradictory world of male dancing, challenging stereotypes and revealing hidden histories. This groundbreaking work brings together contributions from leading scholars to examine the double standards of gender construction in dance.
The book delves into the many contexts of male dancing, from traditional ballet and modern dance to popular forms and historical stages in Europe, India, and the Middle East. By shedding light on the stories of men who dance and those who analyze them, When Men Dance offers a fresh perspective on this often-misunderstood aspect of performance.
Through its diverse range of voices and approaches, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the intersections between masculinity, culture, and movement. A valuable resource for anyone interested in dance, gender studies, or cultural history, When Men Dance is a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of male dancing.
