The Oxford Dance Symposium does not publish proceedings, although many of the papers given at it have been published by their authors in article form. However, some publications have been more closely based on material presented at the symposium; these are listed below.

The works of Monsieur Noverre translated from the French: Noverre, his circle, and the English Lettres sur la danse (New York: Pendragon, 2014).
