Résumé anglais Anne Décoret, Exoticism and Dance at the Beginning of the Twentieth Century During the first four decades of the twentieth century, western dance was marked by exoticism. With their strange gestures, dancers from non European cultures had great success with the public. Western dancers quickly incorporated the new choreographic forms into their repertoires, developing body language codes and exploring a large corpus of folklore, generally with a questionable degree of authenticity. Study of the term « exotic » and its substantive forms in a geopolitical context opens an fertile field for research where aesthetic mutations meet social evolution. .
