{"value"=>"<p>The dance photographs contained in this series document the history of American dance throughout the middle of the 20th century. Martin retained press photographs that were sent to him by dance companies, dancers, and their managers even when he was not planning on using them in publication. The result is a collection of dance photographs with a wide breadth of subjects and genre. Photographs are arranged in one of two ways: by company name or by individual. Individuals with large amounts of material have their own folder, otherwise researchers should look under the alphabetical folders when attempting to locate a specific dancer. Researchers should keep in mind that to find images of a specific dancer, one should additionally check under the name of their related dance companies or partners. For example, Nora Kaye often partnered with Igor Youskevitch, and photographs of both can be found under their respective names.</p> <p>Dancers represented in this series include Alicia Markova, Maria Gambirelli, Martha Graham, Pearl Primus, Hadassah, Alexandra Danilova, William Dollar, Hugh Laing, Jerome Robbins, Ruth St. Denis, and Helen Tamiris. Arranged alphabetically.</p>"}
