Ed Mock (c.1938- April 25, 1986) was a San Francisco-based dancer, teacher, and choreographer, whose style and teaching influenced future generations of dancers and artists. Most active through the 70s and 80s, he founded and ran the West Coast Dance Company (1974-1979) and Ed Mock Dancers (1980-1985), as well as the Ed Mock Dance Studio.〔The Estate Project, http://www.artistswithaids.org/artforms/dance/catalogue/mock.html〕〔http://www.dancestudiolife.com/tag/ed-mock/〕 Born in Chicago, Mock trained with dancers Jimmy Payne and Anna Nasfif, and was later influenced by Lester Horton, Katherine Dunham, and a mix of jazz traditions.〔Zinko, Carolyne (Feb 6, 2008) Black History Month: Ed Mock.
