{"value"=>"<p><span class=\"title\">Dance Magazine</span> is a monthly New York City-based American trade publication that reports on dance. The magazine was first published in Los Angeles, California in 1927 as <span class=\"title\">The American Dancer</span>. In 1933, the magazine moved its offices to New York City during the Great Depression. In 1942, <span class=\"title\">The American Dancer</span> combined with another publication, <span class=\"title\">Dance</span>, and became <span class=\"title\">Dance Magazine</span>.</p> <p>Since its inception, the publication has reported on professional American and international dance in a broad sense. It often contains news about concert and commercial dance, including Broadway shows; theme park productions; television and film productions; pop culture news; museum exhibitions; dance awards; theater buildings; dance training; career advice; and dance companies. Lydia Joel was editor-in-chief of <span class=\"title\">Dance Magazine</span> from 1952 to 1967. She was followed by William Como, whose editorship lasted from 1967 until his death in 1989. From 1989 to 2000, the magazine's editor-in-chief was Richard Philp.</p>"}
