Music, Dance, and Social Capital
Music, Dance, and Social Capital
This chapter discusses how the concept of social capital can help us understand the development of a sustainable local music and dance scene. The resources involved include cultural knowledge as well as volunteer efforts to organize events and physical locations to host them. Later, a group of outsider-enthusiasts attracted to the music and dance enlarges the audience and brings other resources with them. Trust among individuals—developed in this dense social network through frequent face-to-face interaction—facilitates cooperation.
