Dance Publications Where can you find published information about dance? While there are some books available on Middle Eastern most focus on a specific era or genre of dance. Current research, commentary and critiques are available in a wide assortment of magazines. In the world of dance, periodicals tend to fall into a few main categories. First are the major dance magazines, which publish on a regular schedule and are unaffiliated with a business or organization. Organizations publish magazines and newsletters that have a regional or local slant and are a benefit of membership. Online publications offer web-surfers with lots of readily available information. And then there are the general dance magazines that occasionally have an article of interest for the Middle Eastern dance enthusiast. The images on websites and in publications provide the dance costume designer with loads of ideas for new projects and designs. In addition to the articles that appear occasionally, some magazines offer special focus issues. But even if a magazine doesn't focus on costuming, it will feature photographs and articles to inspire and delight. Here is a list, which is undoubtedly not complete, to get you started in your magazine focused web searches.
