I will always be grateful to the Humanities Department at Brigham Young University that gave me the background in interdisciplinary studies needed to tackle this project. I am also appreciative of my time at Johnson County Community College. Teaching a unit on dance every semester for the past five years has helped keep this project fresh.
I need to thank the library staff at the Murphy Art and Architecture Library, the Inter-Library Loan department, and the Edwards Campus, whose librarians found me another microfilm reader in Johnson County when theirs broke. I also wish to thank the librarians at the Archives of American Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Watson Library, and the Brooklyn Museum Libraries and Archives.
