Abstract
This essay was used (in a previous form) as opening remarks for the United Kingdom's Society of Dance Research conference Dancing Economies in 2015. Structured around a collection of musings prompted by global issues, such as the Greek economic crisis, the Black Lives Matter movement, the European migrant crisis, and the pernicious effects of neoliberalism on the arts, the essay is my attempt to make connections between these events and the significance of dance studies in today's complicated political landscape.
