ABSTRACT
The purpose of this chapter is to discuss ways in which the dance student learns to become a dance historian. Part II is used as a source since its contents are typical of research papers that both the lecturer and the student might be expected to become familiar with at conferences and in dance research journals. Reflection on the approaches and content of the preceding chapters suggests fruitful pathways for the development of dance history teaching and learning. The basic principles and methodologies of dance history that are discussed in Part I serve to underpin this review of the historical process and the fundamental skills that need to be acquired. The material in Part I can be employed in an exemplary way when initiating undergraduate and postgraduate students in a critical review of the dance history literature.
