Hagood (dance, Florida International U.) compiles eight essays, including two interviews, that focus on dance education and the work of practitioners at universities, considering what those from the past have left as a legacy, new ideas about teaching, the origins of dance in the university, and the legacies of Margaret H'Doubler, Martha Hill, Alma Hawkins, and other pioneers. Contributors--dance educators at universities in the US and Canada--also discuss challenges dancers have faced because of body and race, and their interactions with each other.
