"Ethnic and Racial Formation on the Concert Stage: A Comparative Analysis of Tap Dance and Appalachian Step Dance" is a revisionist project that explores the shared aesthetics and historical trajectories of these two percussive dance practices, which have ultimately developed into two distinct forms of dance. This dissertation investigates the choreographic and representational strategies choreographers use to transfer the histories and legacies of tap dance and Appalachian step dance to the stage, namely through a process I call concertization. In each analysis, I pay particular attention to representations of the complex ethnic and racial identities affiliated with each form and ways concertization highlights or obscures such affiliations. Additionally, I aim to understand the relationship between the practices of tap dance and Appalachian step dance and what I see as a contested idea of "America" as it is represented through choreography. My analyses suggest the migration of rhythm tap dance and Appalachian step dance from vernacular and social contexts to the concert stage is in tension with the ways these dance forms, as vernacular practices, also engage in the consolidation of ethnic and racial identities. As a result, concertized versions of tap dance and Appalachian step dance may inadvertently whitewash the racial projects of dancing in-situ in favor of presenting a unified vision of America. One strategy dance artists engage to disrupt whitewashed representational hegemony in concert dance contexts is to reassert the ethnic and racial affiliations of these dance forms specifically by making what I call their "dancestry" visible through their choreography and improvisation. To undertake this investigation, I employ parallel analytical frameworks, which enable me to address the physical movement legacies of the practices within their social, cultural, and historical contexts. Examining what I call aesthetic philosophies, localized values, and dancestry, three frames that emerged through movement and historical analysis, I emphasize the importance of the past to both tap dance and Appalachian step dance. Further, these frames enable nuanced comparisons of the ways these practices conceive of historical continuity. Running parallel to this is the theoretical frame of ethno-racial projects, which enable me both to address socio-cultural and historical elements of the dance practices including their ethnic and racial inheritances as well as the representation of such legacies on the concert stage. Engaging a range of research methods including movement and choreographic analysis, participant observation, archival research, discourse analysis, and interviews with choreographers, I address the formal, aesthetic components of choreography as well as contextual elements that inform concert dance choreography. These include the forces that shape a dance practice over time, the social and political climate in which a dance was created, or a choreographer's unique experiences and perspectives. My dissertation research contributes to a growing body of research on intercultural influences in dance practices and adds critical perspectives on two genres of dance that are not well-represented in the field of dance studies.
