      abstract = {This book provides a critical reflection on the ways dance  studio teachers recognize, reflect and respond to cultural  difference within their dance studio classes, particularly  in the rural context in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Through dance  teachers narratives, it reveals the complexities of  multiculturalism within dance studio classes and examines  related issues of inclusion and exclusion within dance  education. Understanding the dance practices provided by  teachers like those in rural communities within  Aotearoa/New Zealand is an increasingly urgent concern in  an era of growing political, social and cultural tensions,  for students and scholars of performing arts, leadership  and community development. While previous research and  publications have investigated cultural difference and  global multicultural arts practices, this book presents a  critical lens on performing arts practice and  socio-cultural challenges experienced by local dance  teachers within rural communities in Aotearoa/New Zealand.  Kristie Mortimer holds a PhD in Dance Studies from the  University of Auckland, and was awarded the Caroline  Plummer Fellowship in Community Dance 2020 at the  University of Otago, New Zealand. She has worked  extensively in dance education and community dance,  engaging with diverse groups of people both in New Zealand  and abroad. Her research utilizes ethnographic methods to  explore dance education, pedagogies and practices in  diverse socio-cultural contexts.},
