If you want to go to graduate school to get the training, proximity to experts in the area study of the Anthropology of Dance, make career connections, etc., and you have not yet completed your undergraduate degree, you should contact graduate programs that you're interested in attending and ask them what their admissions requirements are and generally what types of backgrounds their students & professors have. Many programs include online biographies of current grad. students and professors, what they're working on, etc.

While you're completing your undergraduate education, or if you already have, while you're thinking about where to apply for grad school, you should read everything you can about the anthropology of dance (important ethnographies, papers, authors, theory, journals, class syllabi, documentaries, trends in this area, etc.). Search the websites of anthropology departments and look for people working on what you'd like to. Email them!

Provided you are up to speed (or can get yourself there) on how to do the type of research you want to do, you should seriously consider doing your own projects. This may help you a lot come admissions time (especially if no one else is doing what you're doing) and farther along as the basis of your MA.

In the States, you might try searching for "Performance Studies" programs (NYU and Northwestern University come to mind). I think that the Anthropology of Dance (as such) is bigger in England [www.roehampton.ac.uk/pg/da/], with actual programs.

You might also try emailing this person, it looks like their experience may suit your background: www.stanford.edu/dept/danc...shion.html

Finally, where you are located, there are likely some academics doing what you want to do, though perhaps not in the political science oriented anthro departments in Buenos Aires. Maybe the people that do this type of research are in arts departments, dance, history departments, etc.

Good luck!

you know, Dance Commander is currently working on her doctorate in dance, and had some time heavily involved in ethnographies/anthro, very interesting stuff. she's out of the country for another week or so, but she'd be an excellent person to hit up and hear about it from the front lines.

best of luck
