Sunday 29th April is International Dance Day, a global event founded by the International Theatre Institute to encourage participation and education in dance, and to shine a light on its value and importance.  It aims to cross political, cultural and ethnic barriers by bringing people together through a common language.

To celebrate this, Palgrave Macmillan has brought together a selection of content in dance studies, including award-winning research, free chapters and author blogs.
