After seven years, corresponding to seven successful electronic issues of Choros International Dance Journal a very fruitful collaboration and dialogue sprung between Greek and international dance scholars (editorial board members, reviewers and contributors). It is in this context that we came up with the idea of publishing an Anthology, in two volumes, in 2019 and in 2020 based on a selection of articles from the 7 issues of Choros International Dance Journal, entitled Dancing Dialogues. Indeed, we believe that these publications can contribute to advancing Dance in both academic and socio-cultural terms.
