Content
A research report (or research paper) contains unpublished results of an original research project. It provides an objective and substantiated picture. It can treat the situation of dance in a country or a region. It can cover a particular form of dance (ballet, contemporary, ballroom, traditional etc.) or a sector (education, performance, scholarship, therapy etc.) at national or regional level. The focus is on giving facts or estimates, tendencies and needs. It is addressed to professionals rather than the general reader.
