Summary: Dance Matters Too: Markets, Memories, Identities is a rich intellectual contribution to the growing field of Dance Studies in India. It forges new avenues of scholarly inquiry and critical engagement and opens the field in innovative ways. This volume builds on Dance Matters (2009) which mapped the interdisciplinary breadth of the field. The set of essays presented here continues to underline the uniqueness of a field that is a blend of critical scholarship on aesthetics and performance with the humanities and social sciences.
