For a long time, dance has been understood primarily through practice: through movement, performance, and lived experience. While these remain essential, they do not exhaust its meaning. The reflective and critical dimensions of dance\u2014its ability to generate knowledge, to question, to connect with other disciplines\u2014have only recently begun to find a shared voice within academia. In this context, the International Conference on Creativity in Dance represents not just an event, but a step toward recognizing choreography as a field of research in its own right. Publishing such a volume in Romania is, in itself, a meaningful gesture. It signals not only participation in an international discourse, but also the desire to contribute to it. More than that, it
\naffirms that dance belongs within the realm of ideas, alongside other disciplines that have long been recognized as subjects of rigorous inquiry. At its heart, this volume is a statement of belief: that dance matters\u2014not only on stage, but also in thought.<\/p>\n
