The school produced unique choreographic works by teachers in residence: Martha Graham, Hanya Holm, Doris Humphrey, and Charles Weidman. Leading choreographers of the later 20th century such as Merce Cunningham, Anna Halprin, Jose Limon, Alwin Nikolais and Anna Sokolow participated at the school. The largest portion of students were high school and college level teachers who would spread modern dance across the country and abroad.
Elizabeth McPherson is an assistant professor and the dance education coordinator at Montclair State University in Montclair, New Jersey. She has written for Ballet Review, The Journal of Dance Education, Dance Teacher and Attitude: The Dancers’ Magazine. She lives in New York, New York.
