2024 marks the 450th birth anniversary of Anne of Denmark, the first Queen of Scotland, England, and Ireland. She is also a crucial woman in the history of female performance due to her patronage and participation in masques, theatrical, and dancing productions at the Stuart court. Women in Dance: Patronage, Performance, and Pedagogy pays homage to this anniversary and other important figures and events under this topic.

The 2024 conference programme includes nineteen papers by researchers from Europe and America, bringing to life the problems and challenges faced by women in the dance field since the early 14th century, as well as their achievements and successes.
