Katherine Dunham revolutionized American dance in the 1930’s by going to
the roots of black dance and rituals transforming them into significant
artistic choreography that speaks to all. She was a pioneer in the use
of folk and ethnic choreography and one of the founders of the
anthropological dance movement. She showed the world that African
American heritage is beautiful.
She is credited for developing one of the most important
pedagogues for teaching dance that is still used throughout the world.
Called the “Matriarch of Black Dance,” her groundbreaking repertoire
combined innovative interpretations of Caribbean dances, traditional
ballet, African rituals and African American rhythms to create the
Dunham Technique.
