Sexuality, Gender and Identity: Critical Issues in Dance Education

By openly bringing issues of sexuality and gender to the forefront of dance education and training, this book addresses critical challenges for engaged dance educators interested in a variety of issues. These issues include age appropriate content, theme and costume; the hyper-sexualization of children and adolescents; sexual orientation and homophobia; the hidden curriculum of sexuality and gender; sexual identity; the impact of contemporary culture and mass media; and sexual exploitation. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Dance Education.
