Dance Research Approach

Valeria Lo Iacono is a Ph.D. trained researcher who specializes in online and offline qualitative research methods.

Qualitative research provides depth and details in the exploration of many topics and, because it is open (for example by allowing respondents to elaborate on their answers), it allows new issues to emerge that may have not been initially considered.
