The digital archive DANAEM: Dance and Art in the long Middle Ages is one of the scientific results of the project 'Traces and figure of dance in the long Middle Ages. Iconographic, textual and ethnographic corpus in the Iberian Peninsula and its projection in Latin America (FFI2013-42939-P)’, financed by the Spanish Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (2014-2017). The archive gathers, in several databases, a literary and artistic corpus of dance in the Iberian Peninsula during the long Middle Ages, as well as five documentary videos of short duration about traditional modern dances whose origin can be traced back to the medieval and post-medieval period. Performances represented in works of art, literary descriptions and references to dance with an ethical-moral character are listed and organised in a webpage based on 3 sections: literary space, performative stage and contemporary geography. The technical specifications of the works of art and literary references go with introductions referring to each field. Once online (from April 2018), the web will work as a continually growing tool for Dance Studies.
