THE AMERICAN DANCE GUILD, formed in 1956, was one of the first dance service organizations in the United States.  Originally its goal was to support dance teachers with a yearly conference - providing a forum for the exchange of ideas and information and an opportunity to see master teachers demonstrate their work.  The Guild grew rapidly.  Soon the membership included individuals and organizations from nearly every state in the U.S. as well as from abroad and included performers, choreographers, writers, historians, critics, accompanists, therapists, notators, and educators at all levels.  It produced DanceScope, a far reaching publication edited by Marcia Siegel with in-depth articles that covered all areas of dance from Ballet to Jazz to Indian Dance to Jose Limon, Martha Graham, Erick Hawkins, Trisha Brown, Meredith Monk, Yvonne Rainer and many more. In its newest incarnation, the American Dance Guild now focuses on offering performance opportunities both in annual festivals and “bare bones” low-tech productions, and awards a summer scholarship to Jacob’s Pillow.
