Dance research is a powerful, interdisciplinary field that improves lives, fosters community, and drives innovation across health, technology, law, and the environment. From supporting people with Parkinson’s to shaping intelligent systems and influencing copyright law, dance research reveals the body as a source of knowledge, identity, and healing. It connects diverse communities, enhances cultural understanding, and promotes inclusion—showing that dance is not only art, but also a force for social, scientific, and economic progress.
