bioghist
{"value"=>"<p>Lillian Moore, 1911-1967, was a dancer as well as a teacher and writer. She studied ballet under George Balanchine, Alexandra Fedorova-Fokine and others; and studied modern dance under Charles Weidman. She retired as a dancer in 1954 and then began to teach. Some of her writings include the article, “Ballet,” in the Encyclopedia Britannica, as well as the “Dance -- Ballet” section in Britannica's, <span class=\"title\">Book of the Year</span>(1950 to date). This collection, a gift of Lillian Moore, is primarily compiled or manuscripts, articles and clippings of her writings and programs, letters, pamphlets and lists of other dancers and dance companies, that Lillian Moore had collected during her career.</p> <p>These collected items, as well as her written works (done as a result of her research), seem to sum up the era of dance from the late 1800's through the 1960's and the impact it had on America as well as Europe.</p>"}
