Communication scholarship about social justice has grown rapidly in recent years, in large measure, because scholars have recognized the centrality of communication for engaging in collective action to confront the significant social injustices that too many people experience. One trajectory of that scholarship focuses on communicative practices that activist individuals, groups, organizations, and social movements engage in to promote social justice. In that trajectory, communicative practices used for promoting social justice in art, especially performance/theatre, have received attention; however, one artistic medium that has received almost no attention from the communication discipline, despite, historically, being used to engage in social justice activism, is dance. To address that gap, this study investigated choreographers' use of dance and dance-making in concert performances as a form of communication for promoting social justice. Fifteen professionals who choreograph social justice activism dance pieces were interviewed about their conceptualization of that form of dance and their communication with dancers, other collaborators, and audience members about social justice aspects of their dance pieces. The study found that most interviewees distinguished social justice dance from other forms of dance, in the context of concert dance, with regard to characteristics that included what the pieces were about (e.g., social justice issues), but that pieces without that focus qualified if, for instance, choreographers engaged in socially just processes and practices to develop their pieces. The study revealed how choreographers communicate with dancers, other collaborators, and audience members, during development, performance, and post-performance phases of their work, about the social justice orientation of their dance pieces. The findings are discussed with regard to communication tensions that choreographers negotiate when making social justice activism dance pieces, with recommendations offered to aid their communication management of those tensions.
