seasons Miss Dudley has been a

er of the Martha Graham Com-
pany.

New Yorker, had her first per-
forming experience in the chil-
dren's productions of the famous
Neighborhood Playhouse. She
later became a member of Mar-
tha Graham's concert group and
has conducted courses at New
York University and at King-

Smith School in Washington.
William Bales was graduated
from the Drama School of Car-
negie Tech, in his native Pitts-
burgh In his teaching at Vassar
College, New York University
and Bennington College, -where
he is at present a member of the
faculty,• he has emphasized the
dramatic elements in the dance.
He has appeared as a performer,
for five seasons, with the Doris
Humphrey and Charles Weidman
Group.
To Conduct Class
Preceding the Detroit concert,
Miss Dudley will conduct a class
in modern dance techniques, at
the Center, Tuesday evening, at
7:30. Detroit's dance students are
invited to participate at a nom-
inal fee.

committee, the Jewish Commun-
ity Center has become recognized
as an able sponsor of modern
dance in the city of Detroit.
