ABSTRACT This article aims to reveal the challenges of working mothers in dance academia in respect to balancing of teaching, service, administration, and research demands and parenting of young teens. Through a conversation, the authors aim to find solidarity in our similar situations in different geographic locations by exchanging ideas regrading practicalities and demands of dance academia in relationship to parentings. United by similar experiences, we aim to share our everyday accounts of working in dance academia, the physical challenges of ageing, efforts to stay relevant and question the evaluation and promotion process in order to create more empathic working conditions for parents in academia. Spurred by similar challenges of seeking work/family balance and specific demands of dance academia, the authors seek to analyze and discuss the issues surrounding motherhood and academia and advocate for more emphatic working conditions and promotion processes. This collaborative auto-ethnographic research aims to disturb the rigid structures of academia in relation to parenthood, professional development, and quality of life, which serves as a method to excavate cultural experience of parents, specifically mothers, working in dance academia and question dynamics of faculty evaluation, promotion, and professional progress.

ABSTRACT There is a paucity of research into female-identifying dancers as parents, how the transition from dancer to pregnancy to parent is managed, and whether and how a dancing parent can maintain a career in dance. This paper shares findings from a qualitative interview study with (n = 30), predominantly female professional contemporary dancers that have become parents and are working within the contemporary dance industry in the UK. It uses Pierre Bourdieu’s conceptual framework of belief and practice to make greater sense of how the dancers navigate becoming parents and the disruption to their dancer’s habitus and embodied identity, as they attempt to manage work-family conflicts within contemporary dance. Findings reveal that when the dancers became a parent the disrupted taken-for-granted norms and expectations of the dancer’s habitus and identity as a dancer, intensified the fragility of lives and livelihoods and brought new physical, psychological, social and economic vulnerabilities. The dancers in the study shared experiences of barriers, but also enablers for dancers that are parents within the contemporary dance industry in the UK, with examples of managing transition, evolution of identities and capital gain.

ABSTRACT The image of dancing into the spotlight alludes to glamor, which clouds the artists’ back-breaking work and practice. Meanwhile, there is scant research on the lived experiences of professional female dancers. To address this gap, this study explores the lived experiences of eight Vietnamese professional female dancers who are married with children. The findings reveal their enormous challenges in their professional, social, and personal lives to stay in the profession and navigate their roles as partners and mothers in their families. Their stories were unmasked in the hope to foster a deeper understanding between dancing careers and the public, and provide insights into the female dancers’ challenges in keeping the dance body in shape after pregnancy and childbirth, which is hardly featured in dance scholarship in Vietnam.

ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the working relationship between the director of an HE institute in the UK, and an artist-researcher navigating the higher education dance working environment and motherhood. The paper draws on personal experiences, sections labelled vignettes that highlight a tension faced by the individual and reflects on how the director of a HE institution in the UK facilitated egalitarian work environments through her charismatic leadership style. Such leadership from a senior female colleague allowed me to live out my Romani feminism and encouraged an inclusive work culture within higher education and the dance sector.
