For some people, at some times, in some places, on some drugs, dance music can be a gateway to transformative, even transcendent experiences. With the help of skilled DJs, dancers can reach euphoric states, discard their egos, and feel social barriers dissolve. Dance floors can be sites of openness, subversion, and even small-scale acts of political resistance. At a minimum, dance music lightens the burdens of contemporary life. At its best, dance music offers glimpses of better worlds.Yet even where dance music communities are built on principles of resistance and liberation, they nevertheless share the grittier realities of the rest of the world.Dance Music makes the case that dance music is ordinary and that something exceeding the social and spatiotemporal bounds of the dance floor is required for the transformative promise of dance music to be realized.

Bringing together leading experts in the field of gender and popular music, this collection emphasizes the ways we can shape our personal understandings of what gender is or could be in the music industry. Popular music contains multiple sites of exploration of masculinity, femininity and combinations of these. At the same time, however, the popular music industries remain sites of gender inequality, with men dominating power structures, maintaining ‘boys’ clubs’ that lock women and gender diverse folks out of music spaces and networks, and police access to genres and instruments. At worst, music can be dangerous for those involved due to gender-based violence. These problems in turn lead to new types of creativity and solidarity as people search for solutions and a more egalitarian music experience. This handbook presents a multi-faceted exploration of how gender shapes our musical experiences, whether as audiences, artists or music industry workers, taking an intersectional approach that incorporates perspectives from different sites, genres and subject positions within music making.
