Feminist Dance Studies

Feminist Dance Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the intersection of feminism and dance. It analyzes how gender, identity, and power dynamics are expressed in dance practices and performances. By exploring the representation of women, LGBTQ+ communities, and marginalized groups, this area of study critiques traditional narratives in dance history, addresses issues of body politics, and promotes inclusivity. Scholars and practitioners in this field often aim to highlight diverse voices and challenge societal norms, fostering a deeper understanding of how dance reflects and shapes cultural attitudes toward gender and sexuality.
