Previous Issues

The refereed journal of the European Association for Dance History, Choreologica aims to provide a forum for historical and theoretical explorations of dance histories and practices. These may include analyses of individual works or investigations, whether they may be monographic, contextual or interdisciplinary. Submissions may address topics ranging from past dance practices to contemporary themes.

More in particular, the editorial board welcomes essays rethinking current approaches and theoretical understanding or dance practice, history or crossovers into other disciplines
