DNCE 352: Dance History: Home

Writing in Dance

Writing in dance seeks to examine and construct meaning by finding potential answers to questions. It is incredibly varied. It requires an attention to detail, a critical eye, and most important the ability to analyze and explain the “why” and how it may intersect with other disciplines, such as psychology.

Research TIPS!

GATHERING INFORMATION: Create a "search map" of keywords (what works and doesn't work)

LOOK FOR SOURCES: Once you identify some sources, scan and read summaries, intros, to see what may or may not work. 

WEEDING: Once you have some sources, you will find some fit better than others for your paper after you dig a bit deeper into the content.

AVOID: Don't use sources that don't provide depth or are just descriptive. Look for a variety of rich resources to help you shape your paper. 

CITATIONS: Remember to use the MLA citation style. 

HELP!: Need more research help? Contact me or chat with a reference librarian (in person, phone, email, chat, or text! So many options!).
