Professional associations and Societies can be a great place to make connections with professional dancers, dance historians and dance scholars in general. Sometimes, the best way to research is to talk to people -- so don't hesitate to send an e-mail, pick up the phone, or, if possible, go talk to someone in person.

Citing your sources properly -- yes, even the images you use and the performances you watch, as well as any interviews you might conduct -- is important and required.

Purdue University's Online Writing Lab (OWL) citation resources are the best ones out there on the web. Generally, Dance courses require that you use either MLA or Chicago style. Detailed information on both styles is available here.

Librarians can help with citations, too!
