A Dance Mag is an arts and culture magazine that takes a single dance form as its starting point each issue, exploring mythology and human connection through movement.
What grabbed us about this issue...
Issue 03 arrived during lockdown, which gives its central theme a particular edge. This is a magazine about touch, made at a time when touch was off-limits. We kept coming back to the Northern Japan feature, which wanders into underworld traditions rooted in physical ritual. The arctic piece on experimenting with manhood is also worth a look. It's less about geography than how culture shapes the body.
Who's A Dance Mag for?
A Dance Mag is one for when you want to sit with something genuinely different. Each issue takes a single dance form as its starting point, using movement to travel between cultures and histories. You can tell the research goes deep, with stories drawing on mythology and personal testimony as much as photography. This is a niche title, better suited to those drawn to dance as a cultural practice rather than a performance. Think of it as a cultural journal that uses movement as its guiding thread. It's one to reach for when you have an afternoon free and want to go somewhere unexpected.
