Elsie Ivancich Dunin (born July 19, 1935 in Chicago, Illinois) is a dance ethnologist (ethnochoreologist), choreographer, professor and author specializing in folk dance from Croatia, Macedonia, and Romani (Gypsy) in Macedonia. Her studies focus on Croatian diaspora communities and associated sword dances in both Old and New World contexts. She is Professor Emerita of dance ethnology from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and is currently a dance research advisor with the Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Research in Zagreb, Croatia. Her two daughters are Theresa (T.J.) and Elonka Dunin.

Cross-Cultural Dance Resources Collection

Dunin is also a leading member of Cross-Cultural Dance Resources, (CCDR) a non-profit organization dedicated to the study of dance ethnology. Founded in 1981, the CCDR has amassed a collection of over 15,000 books, manuscripts, personal papers, costumes, films and instruments. In April 2008, Dunin, who serves as the organization's vice-president, made a $1.5 million gift to Herberger College of the Arts to provide for the collection's permanent care and curation.
