Performing Arts Periodicals Database - scholarly and popular performing arts periodicals, including at least 20 journals specific to dance, and indexes documents such as biographical profiles, conference papers, obituaries, interviews, reviews and events. Coverage dates: 1864 - current. IIPA has a specialized search page designed to search The Arts, which presumably will cover material in the International Index to Music Periodicals database as well.
Academic Search Ultimate - scholarly journals, newspapers, magazines, videos, and trade publications covering multiple subjects. Journals include Dance Chronicle, Dance Magazine, Dance Research, New Dance Review, Research in Dance Education, and Performing Arts Journal.
