The anthropology of dance

In her dance studies, conducted from an anthropological perspective, Royce combines her own experiences of dance with ethnographical knowledge and knowledge of culture, which enables her to situate dance within other performative arts. The publication is a textbook for theatre studies students, ethnologists exploring the topic of rituals and central-American rites, students of cultural studies and the humanities, as well as practitioners analysing dance in action (instructors, choreographers) or specialists in dance therapy.

Keywords: dance, anthropology, anthropological perspective on dance, dance methods and techniques, definitions of dance, morphology of dance, directions of development of dance, ethno-choreography.
