K-pop Dance Education is the first comprehensive guide to teaching, studying, and researching K-pop dance in global contexts.

Through ethnographic fieldwork with fifty K-pop dance professionals, idols, agency CEOs, and choreographers across the US and Korea, this book offers an inside view of K-pop dance pedagogy. Integrating dance and performance studies, media studies, and cultural studies, it establishes five foundational movements of K-pop dance training in studio and establishes K-pop dance studies framework and research methods, theorizing its cultural, aesthetic, and industrial specificities. Addressing issues of authenticity, training, and postcolonialism, it shows how Korea's rigorous idol-training model becomes a creative fan practice in the US and how it overshadows local teachers' labor under Western choreographers.

Positioned to meet growing academic and public demand, this book provides adaptable teaching strategies for universities, arts high schools, community studios, and children's and continuing education programs and serves as an essential resource for Korean pop culture, global performing arts, tourism, and study abroad courses.

Hot Feet and Social Change: African Dance and Diaspora Communities
The popularity and profile of African dance have exploded across the African diaspora in the last fifty years. <i>Hot Feet and Social Change</i> presents traditionalists, neo-traditionalists, and contemporary artists, teachers, and scholars telling some of the thousands of stories lived and learned by people in the field. Concentrating on eight major cities in the United States, the essays challenges myths about African dance while demonstrating its power to awaken identity, self-worth, and community respect. These voices of experience share personal accounts of living African traditions, their first encounters with and ultimate embrace of dance, and what teaching African-based dance has meant to them and their communities. Throughout, the editors alert readers to established and ongoing research, and provide links to critical contributions by African and Caribbean dance experts. <p>Contributors: Ausettua Amor Amenkum, Abby Carlozzo, Steven Cornelius, Yvonne Daniel, Charles "Chuck" Davis, Esailama G.
