      abstract = {This book critically examines matters of age and aging in  relation to dance. As a novel collection of diverse authors  voices, this edited book traverses the human lifespan from  early childhood to death as it negotiates a breadth of  dance experiences and contexts. The conversations ignited  within each chapter invite readers to interrogate current  disciplinary attitudes and dominant assumptions and serve  as catalysts for changing and evolving long entrenched  views among dancers regarding matters of age and aging. The  text is organized in three sections, each representing a  specific context within which dance exists. Section titles  include educational contexts, social and cultural contexts,  and artistic contexts. Within these broad categories, each  contributors milieu of lived experiences illuminate  age-related factors and their many intersections. While  several contributing authors address and problematize the  phenomenon of aging in mid-life and beyond, other authors  tackle important issues that impact young dancers and dance  professionals. Pam Musil, MA, is a professor emeritus of  Dance, Brigham Young University, USA, and a former  associate chair of the Department of Dance. As a  post-retirement, she works as an independent researcher  with interests that include human issues related to dance  and literacy, education, gender, and age within populations  that span grades 7-12, postsecondary dance education and  beyond. Doug Risner, Ph.D., MFA, professor of dance,  distinguished faculty fellow, and director, MA in Dance and  Theater Teaching Artistry at Wayne State University, USA,  conducts research on the sociology of dance training and  education. His book, Masculinity, Intersectionality and  Identity: Why Boys (Dont) Dance [2022], is published by  Palgrave MacMillan. Karen Schupp, MFA, is an associate  professor of dance and an associate director of the  Herberger Institute School of Music, Dance, and Theater at  Arizona State University, USA. Her research interests  include dance competition culture, dance curriculum and  pedagogy in tertiary education, and equity across the  spectrum of dance education.},
