In four brief summers Bennington, Vermont, has become an American center nationally known. The Bennington College School of the Dance, with which the author is concerned, in its festival of August 12 to 14, 1937 assembled an audience from Ohio, Utah, California and intermediate points; and will send out 160 new students and teachers this season as far west as Hawaii. Four dancers who were and still are the most Important in the U.S. were chosen to head the teaching staff. They are: Martha Graham, Doris Humphrey, Hanya Hoim and Charles Weidman. In 1935 the Theater Workshop was added to the general program and in 1936 a department of choreography and one in music for the dance.
