Ardent Dreams and Provocations:  a Contribution to Black Women’s Dance Histories

Welcome to this special issue of The Dancer-Citizen—the first special issue in our history.

Conceived, developed and brought to fruition by our guest editors, the extraordinary artist/scholars Takiyah Nur Amin, Saroya Corbett, and Julie B. Johnson, Ardent Dreams and Provocations:  a Contribution to Black Women’s Dance Histories offers an abundance of riches to explore. We welcome our contributors, their scholarship, their work, their gifts, and yes, yes! their ardent dreams and provocations.
