Dance, a universal form of human expression, has always been intertwined with politics. From ancient rituals to contemporary protests, dance has the power to shape and reflect power dynamics, social movements, and cultural identities. The Oxford Handbook of Dance and Politics, edited by dance scholars Susan Leigh Foster and Erin Manning, is a comprehensive and authoritative exploration of this multifaceted relationship.

The handbook brings together leading scholars from a variety of disciplines, including dance studies, political science, sociology, anthropology, and history, to examine the ways in which dance interacts with politics. The chapters in the handbook are organized into four sections:

1. Dance and Power: This section explores the ways in which dance can be used to assert power, resist oppression, and create social change. Chapters in this section examine the role of dance in political protests, social movements, and community engagement.
2. Dance and Social Movements: This section examines the ways in which dance has been used to mobilize people for social change. Chapters in this section explore the role of dance in the civil rights movement, the women's movement, and the LGBTQ+ rights movement.
3. Dance and Cultural Identity: This section explores the ways in which dance can express and shape cultural identity. Chapters in this section examine the role of dance in民族identity, national identity, and diasporic communities.
4. Dance and Representation: This section explores the ways in which dance can be used to represent and challenge social and political realities. Chapters in this section examine the role of dance in media, education, and policy.
