I was awarded a PhD in Dance Ethnography at De Montfort University, Leicester, UK in 2010. My thesis argues that there is an interrelationship between the processes of revival of Mallorquin traditional dance and the influence of tourism that has contributed to the formation of Mallorcan identities. Its principal focus is an analysis of the Mallorquin folk dance repertoires including the bolero, jota, fandango, and bullanguera. During the course of my research, I undertook the first training course of the Ethnochoreology/Dance Analysis 7.5 Credit Course - DANS2011 (60, ECTS) Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). (ICTM Study Group on Ethnochoreology Intensive Training Course) in November, 2003. I am a member of the International Council for Traditional Music (ICTM) Study Group on Ethnochoreology, and a member of Congress on Research in Dance (CORD).
