Congress on Research in Dance is an international non-profit learned society for dance researchers, artists, performers and choreographers. CORD publishes the Dance Research Journal, and sponsors annual conferences which distribute annual awards.
The society was founded in 1964 as the Committee on Research in Dance, and based at New York University. It was formally incorporated as a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit organization in 1969. The organization changed its name to Congress on Research in Dance in 1977. In 1991, it moved to the State University of New York College at Brockport. In 2007, the CORD National Office moved to the care of Prime Management Services based in Birmingham, Alabama. Membership generally includes performers, choreographers, artists and dance academics from colleges and universities.
The Dance Research Journal is a triannual peer-reviewed academic journal publishing scholarly articles, book reviews, and other reports of interest to the field of dance research, with its primary orientation being towards the historical and critical theory of dance. The journal is published by Cambridge University Press on behalf of the Congress on Research in Dance, of which it is an official journal. It was established in 1968 and the editor-in-chief is Mark Franko (University of California, Santa Cruz).
The journal is abstracted and indexed in Academic ASAP, Academic Search Elite, Academic Search Premier, Expanded Academic, Humanities Index, Index to Dance Periodicals, International Index to Performing Arts, and ProQuest.
