Ali Duffy introduces the book by laying a foundation of social and cultural histories and trends leading to the issues mothers in dance negotiate today. This study then reveals perspectives from mothers in dance working in areas such as performance choreography, dance education, writing, and advocacy though survey and interview data. Based on participant responses, recommendations for changes in policy, hiring, evaluation, and other work practices to better support working mothers in dance are outlined and discussed. Finally, essays from five working mothers in dance offers more intimate, personal stories and guidance geared to mothers, future mothers, and colleagues and supervisors of mothers in the dance field. By describing lived experiences and offering suggestions for improved working conditions and self-advocacy, this book initiates expanded discussion about women in dance and promotes change to positively impact dancing mothers, their employers, and the dance field. aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights aEnglish aGender Studies, Dance, Motherhood, Parenting, LGBT studies athema EDItEUR::A The Arts athema EDItEUR::J Society and Social Sciences athema EDItEUR::V Health, Relationships and Personal development0 aDOAB Library.40uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/9991470zFree-to-read: DOAB: description of the publication c93027d93027
