Historical Note
The International Encyclopedia of Dance (IED) began as a project of the Dance Critics
Association intended to address the need for a comprehensive scholarly encyclopedia for the
field of dance. The first National Endowment of the Arts (NEH) grant in support of the
encyclopedia was awarded to the Dance Perspectives Foundation, Inc. in 1976 to help fund a
planning conference of leading dance scholars. The scholars in attendance at this meeting would
help set up the structure and content of the proposed encyclopedia. The IED was planned to be a
multivolume work with an international scope covering all forms of dance in all countries of the
world. After being awarded a second grant, the Dance Perspectives Foundation undertook full
sponsorship of the IED in 1977 and formed an editorial board that could help realize the
publication.
As the project grew, the editorial board found it necessary to expand the number of
commissioned articles to adequately meet its objective of worldwide coverage. Due to
difficulties of communication between the editorial board and international consultants, the
encyclopedia’s publication date was delayed over the course of the 1980s. The project passed
from Charles Scribner’s Sons to Macmillan Publishing and was delayed by publication cost
issues, and the lack of editorial knowledge on behalf of the publishers’ copy editors. Since much
of the material written for the IED was original, it proved difficult for the publishers to fact
check the articles, some of which were not written in English. Parts of the IED manuscript and
editorial correspondence were lost during the physical transition from Scribner’s to Macmillan.
The University of California Press agreed to take on the project in 1988, a relationship that
would last until 1993 when budget cuts in the California university system forced the publisher
to abandon the project. Ultimately, the IED achieved realization when the Oxford University
Press agreed to edit, restore and expand the manuscript in 1994. Manuscripts were retyped;
dance scholars were allowed to act as editorial consultants, and to develop a rigorous style
scheme and format. Two thousand illustrations and three hundred new articles were
commissioned. The IED was published as a six volume large format set in 1998.
