Abstract
The article examines the relation between Dance Studies and the Anthropology of Dance. It gives an overview of their historical development in the United States of America and the United Kingdom, commenting on the underlying discrimination underpinning them. It argues that pockets of scholarship in Dance Studies remain based on cliches and unsupported assumptions and proposes that to move away from such ethnocentricism and to develop Dance Studies fit for the 21st century, the tools developed with the Anthropology of dance are needed.
