In Researching Dance, an introduction to research methods in dance addressed primarily to graduate students, the editors explore dance as evolutional, defining it in view of its intrinsic participatory values, its developmental aspects, and its purposes from art to ritual, and they examine the role of theory in research. The editors have also included essays by nine dancer-scholars who examine qualitative and quantitative inquiry and delineate the most common approaches for investigating dance, raising concerns about philosophy and aesthetics, historical scholarship, movement analysis, sexual and gender identification, cultural diversity, and the resources available to students. The writers have included study questions, research exercises, and suggested readings to facilitate the book\u2019s use as a classroom text.

Hooray! With Researching Dance: Evolving Modes of Inquiry, dance scholars and students have the sorely needed text book to address the "unified field of dance" noted by editors Fraleigh and Hanstein. The vision to provide a text that addresses various sub-fields of dance scholarship is wonderfully developed. Its well-researched chapters engagingly written by respected experts provide both data and stimulating ideas for thought, discussion, and further research.
