Broadening Your Search
When conducting a search, it is important to brainstorm keywords, players, and phrases. Different creators will use different terms for the same concept--one author might use the term "dance choreography" while another might use "dance composition."

E.g.) Modern Dance Choreography OR Modern Dance Composition

Narrowing Your Search
Narrow your search by brainstorming specific people, locations, time periods, and genres.

E.g.) Keywords related to "Modern Dance":
