Extract

Despite the fact that, in most parts of the world, music and dance are closely linked and are an integral part of the broad anthropological concept of culture, it is surprising to note that many accounts by ethnomusicologists and dance anthropologists are limited to describing either music or dance.1 As long ago as 1937, Curt Sachs wrote about universal interrelationships between the performing arts, and yet as recently as 1982 Peter Brinson noted that “There is a barrier between music and dance studies which needs urgently to be overcome” (Brinson, 1982:4).
