American dancer, writer, and teacher of tai chi, Sophia Delza had an exceptionally long and varied career. She achieved prominence as an independent modern dance performer and choreographer, but embarked on a second career as an authority on Chinese dance and martial arts traditions. During a stay in China, Delza became the first American dancer to teach modern dance technique in Chinese theater and dance schools. Following her return to the United States, she became an important tai chi instructor and advocate. The collection includes her writings, correspondence, photographs, programs, and original artwork. less
