In this article, I want to look back on the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, and ask whether the past decennium has brought any renewal to the research into ancient Greek dance, and what the promises for the future are, if any. In 2018 it will be400 years ago that Joannes Meursius published the first modern monograph on dance in theancient world. At the anniversary party, in fourteen years time, can we say that those fourcenturies will have ended with a whimper, or with a bang?
