- The intersections between religion, spirituality and dance

- Spirituality, gender and dance/movement
- The impact of secularization on Dance Education

- Secular spiritualities underpinning practice, performance and pedagogy
- Postmodern spiritualities underpinning practice, performance and pedagogy
