Dance has always been more than movement—it is one of humanity’s oldest and most powerful ways of sharing meaning. Long before words were written, the body spoke. Across cultures and centuries, dance has served as ritual, communication, storytelling, and connection. It lives at the intersection of space and time, leaving only the intensity of the present moment. In this course, you’ll explore how dance has evolved, what it has meant to different societies, and why it continues to matter today.

Cartea cuprinde ideile centrale ale tezei de doctorat susținute public de autoare la 26 septembrie 2023. Pornind de la o abordare epistemologică, lucrarea propune un model prin care baletul clasic devine o disciplină academică autonomă, nu doar o artă transmisă direct de la maestru la elev. Conceptul central al cărții, matricea „balet continuum", leagă sistemul teoretic al baletului de cel fizic-practic, explicând cum gândirea estetică se întrupează în comportament și mișcare.
