The author would like to acknowledge the following individuals and institutions who have supported the completion of this survey:

Jill Nunes Jensen, a recent M.A. graduate of UCLA's Department of World Arts and Cultures, served as head detective in the search for documentary materials in New York and Los Angeles. For her skills, patience, and enormously positive energy, I am ever grateful.

Peter Carpenter, a Ph.D student in UCLA's Department of World Arts and Cultures, expanded the survey to San Francisco. Based on my prior research and contacts, he wrote these entries and must be credited as first co-author of the San Francisco dance survey. I thank him for his elegant writing, thoroughness, and good cheer.

The following individuals offered assistance beyond the call of duty: Gary Bates, Larry Billman, Saadia Billman, Bonnie Brooks, Grover Dale, Thomas de Frantz, Deborah Jowitt, Julie McDonald, Allison O'Brien, Serena Tripi, and Elizabeth Zimmer. Thank you, all.

The staff of the following libraries and dance organizations—the Dance Collection of the New York Public Library, the Academy of Dance on Film in Los Angeles, San Francisco Performing Arts Library and Museum, the Dance Notation Bureau, and Dance/USA—provided cataloging and information upon which much of the survey's research was based. Many thanks.
