Introducing Choreography

Created as part of an introductory module to Choreography, aimed at first-year undergraduates studying dance.

Waltzing Through Europe

“From ‘folk devils’ to ballroom dancers, Waltzing Through Europe explores the changing reception of fashionable couple dances in Europe from the eighteenth century onwards.

A refreshing intervention in dance studies, this book brings together elements of historiography, cultural memory, folklore, and dance across comparatively narrow but markedly heterogeneous localities.”
