Abstract
This paper considers the evidence of networking practices in dance through the apparent sharing of repertory, documented teaching activities (or leading a company), and the benefits of personal patronage. Three contrasting case studies will include Marie Sallé (a performer whose work was apparently emulated with some known teaching activity); Jean-Georges Noverre (boasting appointments as choreographer/dancing master at several major opera houses with a wide network of former colleagues who became choreographers); and also Giovanna Baccelli (a prominent performer who benefitted from patronage). The impact of gender on networking possibilities is a key aspect.
