Abstract
This review evaluates Kristie Mortimer’s Dance and Cultural Difference in Aotearoa, focusing on its contributions to understanding the role of rural dance education in promoting cultural diversity and social integration. Drawing on intercultural pedagogy and embodied knowledge, Mortimer’s work positions rural dance studios as micro-publics that mediate identity, participation, and inclusion. Through a comparative lens, the review highlights the book’s relevance for rural governance and cultural policy in China, especially amid ongoing revitalization initiatives. It concludes by recommending further research into ecological and digital dimensions of rural cultural practice.
