This article explores how dance is currently understood as a medium for reshaping our relationships to the more-than-human. It reviews literature across the field of dance and ecology to present keys clusters of understanding and pathways for future research. These areas include (1) body as place/Earth, advocating practices that work to re-embed our sense of self within wider ecologies, (2) embodying shared agency, which examines the agentic capacity of place and the radical displacement of human subjectivities, and (3) rhythms of co-becoming, which invites dancers to consciously participate in the co-creation of reality towards ecological balance. Key authors across these areas draw from theories in materiality, feminist theory, phenomenology, object-oriented ontology, ecosophy/deep ecology and somatic ecology to demonstrate the necessary inclusion of dance in strategies for ecological renewal. Overall, these areas contribute to a bold vision for dance in catalysing more embodied ethical relationships with the living ecologies we belong to. This review also importantly reinstates the body as a site of evolutionary intelligence that can guide us towards necessary shifts in relational ontologies for our collective survival.
