This introduction to world dance charts the diverse histories and stories of dancers and artists through ten key moments that have shaped the vast spectrum of different forms and genres that we see today.Designed for weekly use in dance history courses, ten chosen milestones move chronologically from the earliest indigenous rituals and the dance crazes of Eastern trade routes, to the social justice performance and evolving online platforms of modern times. This clear, dynamic framework uses the idea of migrations to chart the shifting currents of influence and innovation in dance from an inclusive set of perspectives that acknowledge the enduring cultural legacies on display in every dance form.Milestones are a range of accessible textbooks, breaking down the need-to-know moments in the social, cultural, political, and artistic development of foundational subject areas.

"Milestones in Dance History is an important resource for challenging dominant approaches to dance history, useful for classroom instruction and beyond. The textbook is a valuable addition to any dance history course and its content might also contribute to learning in history, cultural studies, ethnic studies, and area studies fields. Its accessible language, straightforward structure, and compelling chapter content would make for an excellent entry point into the field of dance studies."Miya Shaffer, Dance Chronicle, USA
