The Oxford Handbook of Dance and the Popular Screen

The Oxford Handbook of Dance and the Popular Screen sets the agenda for the study of dance in popular moving images — films, television shows, commercials, music videos, and YouTube — and offers new ways to understand the multi-layered meanings of the dancing body by engaging with methodologies from critical dance studies, performance studies, and film-media analysis. Through thorough engagement with these approaches, the chapters demonstrate how dance on the popular screen might be read and considered through bodies and choreographies in moving media.
