Book 'Researching dance: evolving modes of inquiry'

Researching Dance: evolving modes of inquiry
By Sondra Horton Fraleigh, Penelope Hanstein

 
I read the preview on google books, and found it interesting how the Author defines dance as
'Aesthetic historico-cultural movement performances'.

  • Aesthetic
  • Historic/Cultural
  • Movement
  • Performance
I was looking at my inquiries on 'dance' from

  • physical (aesthetic lines/technical ability)
  • psychological (concentration&confidence in relation to sports psychology/stage performance) 
  • artistic (individual expression, mainly body language and acting in dance)
  • marketing (promotion of ballet in the Asian performing arts industry)
  • educational (Imagery used in dance education and training)
aspects.
My interests seem to spread out through the four categories of the definition above, but I realised how there are so many possible inquiries regarding the profession in dance.
