A global exploration of dance education research, its methodologies, and its impact on the field.

The Intellect Handbook of Dance Education Research is a necessary resource for students, educators, and advocates, offering a broad survey of research methodologies alongside real-world applications from across the globe. This volume brings together voices from both seasoned and emerging scholars, highlighting the diversity of dance research in countries including Korea, South Africa, Jamaica, India, Brazil, Slovenia, and beyond.

Divided into four parts, the book first examines foundational research methodologies, spanning mixed-method approaches as well as innovative techniques like portraiture and a/r/tography. The second section presents dance education research in practice, exploring history, choreography, and community-based initiatives. The third part showcases international perspectives, offering snapshots of research traditions from contrasting cultural contexts. Finally, the fourth section elaborates on the role of dance in social justice, illustrating how movement-based research can drive cultural and societal change.

A vital tool for researchers, policymakers, and educators alike, this handbook underscores the significance of dance as a transformative force in education, fostering collaboration and meaningful impact in diverse communities.
