In distinction to many extant histories of ballet, The Oxford Handbook of Contemporary Ballet prioritizes connections between ballet communities as it interweaves chapters by scholars, critics, choreographers, and working professional dancers. The book looks at the many ways ballet functions as a global practice in the 21st century, providing new perspectives on ballet's past, present, and future. As an effort to dismantle the linearity of academic canons, the fifty-three chapters within provide multiple entry points for readers to engage in balletic discourse. With an emphasis on composition and process alongside dances created, and the assertion that contemporary ballet is a definitive era, the book carves out space for critical inquiry. Many of the chapters consider whether or not ballet can reconcile its past and actually become present, while others see ballet as flexible and willing to be remolded at the hands of those with tools to do so.

The Oxford Handbook of Ballet Pedagogy offers a comprehensive exploration of contemporary perspectives on teaching and learning ballet, emphasizing the embodied nature of dance and its role in shaping both the student sense of expression and development as an artist. The book positions ballet pedagogy as a dynamic and cross-disciplinary field that transcends traditional separation between practice and theory. It offers a holistic approach that integrates the whole body, identity, and well-being into the learning process. Through five thematic sections-focusing on the whole-dancer, embodied pedagogy, diverse teaching sites, syllabus construction, and ballet as praxis. The volume engages with critical issues such as belonging, access, rigor, syllabus, and excellence within pedagogical practices in the ballet learning space that move beyond the limitations of constructs such as race, gender, and disability. The book challenges entrenched pedagogical hierarchies, offering a vision for the future of ballet education that is inclusive, transformative, and deeply connected to embodied knowledge. Contributors range from across the globe, including pedagogues, scholars, and artist practitioners, explore how ballet pedagogy intersects with contemporary concerns in education, culture, and social justice, highlighting the evolution of the practice in response to historical and social contexts. As a whole, the book demonstrates the rich exciting future of ballet and its embodied pedagogy.
