The book draws on a wide range of case studies to illustrate its arguments, including examples from the UK, France, Germany, Spain, and the Netherlands. These case studies include:

The work of choreographer Akram Khan, who has used dance to explore themes of migration, identity, and belonging.

The development of new dance forms, such as krumping and voguing, which have emerged from marginalized communities.

The use of dance in public spaces to create new forms of community and social interaction.

The book concludes by arguing that dance is a powerful force for social change. It has the ability to create new forms of community and belonging, to challenge and rethinking traditional notions of identity, and to promote social inclusion.
