No results? Search more broadly: 

If a search for a specific person, title or other topic produces too few or no results, try searching more broadly: for a profession, group, a genre of dance, a place, etc.:

• group + place = women choreographers AND "united states"
• dance + genre = dance AND improvisation

Too many results? To narrow down, add information to your search:

• add the country
• add the time period (19th century, 20th century, etc.)
• add the genre (hip hop, ballroom, etc.)

Use the *

• Use the *  (asterisk) to truncate your search terms, to search several terms at once.
  Example: danc* = dance, dancer, dancers, dancing etc.
