Dance Essays

Dawn Lille, trained in ballet, modern dance and labanalysis, has been a performer, rehearsal director, teacher and adminstrator. She headed a graduate program in dance at City College/CUNY and taught for 14 years at Juilliard and is our primary Dance writer.
We were fortunate to have had excellent Dance writers such as Francine L. Trevens, Ernestine Stodell and Jane Sherman as well as numerous guest writers.
