American Society for Aesthetics Selma Jeanne Cohen Prize in Dance Aesthetics

Examining a century of dance criticism in the United States and its influence on aesthetics and inclusion

Dance criticism has long been integral to dance as an art form, serving as documentation and validation of dance performances, yet few studies have taken a close look at the impact of key critics and approaches to criticism over time. The first book to examine dance criticism in the United States across 100 years, from the late 1920s to the early twenty-first century, Shaping Dance Canons argues that critics in the popular press have influenced how dance has been defined and valued, as well as which artists and dance forms have been taken most seriously.
