During the Weimar Republic, dance was a powerful medium for self-expression, which shaped and transformed modern perceptions of the body. Whether in clubs or on stage, in popular magazines or dance manuals, in paintings or films, dance served to perform the emergence of modern, cosmopolitan subjects and disrupted traditional perceptions and representations of class, gender, and race.
This panel seeks to investigate the intersections of dance and image during the Weimar Republic from the perspectives of film studies, visual studies, literary studies and dance studies. Papers might examine, for example:

- Dance and film
- Dance and literature/journalism
- Dance and fashion
- Dance and race
-Famous dancers (Anita Berber, Josephine Baker, Tiller Girls, Leni Riefenstahl)
- The works of individual choreographers
-Representations of social dances in visual art (Otto Dix, Max Beckmann)
- Journalistic photo-stories about dance
- Representations of specific dances (Charleston, Foxtrot, Black Bottom, Onestep, Twostep)
