Fjord Magazine

Fjord Review is an international review of ballet and dance. Edited by Penelope Ford, Fjord publishes dance criticism, interviews, feature articles, dance films, dance guide, and hosts Dance Dialogues: A Podcast. Our contributors are dance scholars, critics, artists and emerging voices united by a passion and talent for illuminating dance. In 2018, Fjord was nominated for a National Magazine Award for general excellence in digital publishing, and since 2019 we have published a limited-edition print magazine.
