Reviews
'This anthology explores a neglected area of popular music studies - popular dance practices - and does so from a fresh perspective. The volume introduces some of the key popular dance scholars, and their latest thinking, to the field of popular music studies. From pioneering dance scholars such as Theresa Buckland to up-and-coming dance theorists such as Clare Parfitt-Brown, the array of perspectives addressed is always reliably grounded in rigorous research. ... The impact of this collection of essays is in the originality of its topics and in its engagement with popular dance practices. The volume's value is in its empirical rigour, where theorising tends to emerge from the practices themselves. Most notably, these projects provide a model for seeing what hasn't been noticed before. It's commendable that dance scholars are leading the way here at the intersections of popular music and cultural studies'. Popular Music
