a guide to outstanding dance resources for research and enrichment

Dance in the Metroplex

Dance events in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex are aggregated through "Go See DFW," compiled by the Dallas Morning News (if you get a subscription login, try another browser); also, public TV/radio station KERA presents its own "Art and Seek" calendar, though it no longer has a "dance" filter (try putting dance in the search box).

The North Texas Dance Council 's "Find Dance / Area Performances" link also lists event information, though upcoming events are only current for one month at a time. NTDC's Dance! North Texas quarterly publication also gives brief listings of events. Dance!... is found on the Council's website (current issue) and past issues are archived.

Search tools

There are three major tools for finding material for your research projects, available at library.tcu.edu.  Here's a quick summary of those tools.  See the FrogScholar & the catalog tab above for more.

  FrogScholar is a flexible, Google-like search tool available from the search box at library.tcu.edu, accessing books, video and sound recordings, journal and newspaper articles and more. For
best results, sign in at the upper right corner using your TCU login.
     
  An Advanced Search / catalog search is available at library.tcu.edu by choosing the Advanced Search tab and clicking the "Library
Catalog" button; this will find items in physical form, such as books, DVDs, print journals and more with, in many cases, direct access to online materials like e-books and streaming videos. For best results, sign in at the upper right corner (use your TCU login). (Note that the "library catalog" button setting does NOT find articles within journals. De-select that option if you want to include articles.)
     
  Databases are specialized collections of online materials such as journal articles, book chapters, images/music/videos, maps, reports, statistics
and much more. Each database vendor (for example, Alexander Street Press) has its own search interface.  Find the databases page from the purple tabs at library.tcu.edu. For the Dance community, there's a list of Dance databases.
