You may be interested in a Special Issue published in the journal The Black Scholar, titled ‘Black Moves: New Research in Black Dance Studies’.

Please find below an abstract from the Introduction:

‘Black Dance Studies sits at the intersection of dance and black studies—two disciplines that demand we contend with difficult archives, ones that we often must gather and produce as we dance and as we write. Black moves are everywhere, all the time; and yet the potent strategies that dance offers us via bodies in motion often goes unnoticed or brushed off as an object of study. And yet: dance illuminates something particular about Blackness, and Blackness illuminates something distinctive about dance. The compelling avenues of research exhibited in this volume extend—in many directions—the capacities of Black Studies to accommodate nuanced, careful discussions of dance as a site and symptom of historical, contemporary, and future modes of black life.’ | Thomas F. DeFrantz & Tara Aisha Willis
