Abstract: The present paper was part of the opening plenary panel entitled “The State of Dance Studies in Greece” in the joint conference of the Society of Dance History Scholars and the Congress on Research in Dance, held in Athens, June 4–7, 2015. It starts with the writer's perception of the current economic situation in Greece, which impedes progressive changes in the field of dance. Then it moves on to underline, through a brief historical review, the aesthetic origins of modern dance in Greece, the recent reforms in the educational system, and the distinctiveness of the artistic scene from the 1980s until today. The paper concludes with a reflection on new approaches that have emerged in the local dance scene within the context of the crisis.
