Call for Papers From the ragtime era of the early twentieth century through to the recent practices of contemporary club cultures, dance and music have been inextricably linked in a diversity of contexts that include the film and television screen, bars, ballrooms and dancehalls, street sites and the commercial stage. While there is a long tradition of scholarship within the disciplines of Dance and Music Studies that focuses specifically on ‘art dance and music’, it is more recently that scholars within these fields have called into question this canonical paradigm through interrogating dance and music practices located in the popular domain. Even then, there is little research that addresses the dance-music relationship. The symposium committee invites proposals from researchers and practitioners working broadly in the areas of popular dance and/or music as a means to illuminate both shared and divergent issues, theories and methods.
