Virginia Tanner
Virginia Tanner (April 25, 1915 – May 20, 1979) was an American dance instructor and founder of the University of Utah Children's Dance Theatre. Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, she began her formal dance training at the University of Utah. She studied with Doris Humphrey in New York City before returning to Salt Lake City in the early 1940s to establish her school for creative dance for children.
== Biography ==
Virginia Tanner〔Redacted biography by the late Bruce Bennett, Virginia Tanner's husband〕 began teaching children at the McCune School of Music and Art in Salt Lake City in 1941, where she was director of the dance program. She went on to establish her own school within the University of Utah's continuing education program, which survives today under the direction of Mary Ann Lee as an auxiliary of the College of Fine Arts at the University of Utah.〔(Tanner Dance website ). Retrieved 2015-09-21.〕 In 1943, she formed the Modern Dance Theatre, a company that she co-directed with local dancer Barry Lynn. In 1949, she formed the Children's Dance Theatre.
In 1953, the Children's Dance Theatre performed at the Jacob's Pillow Dance Theatre in Massachusetts, the American Dance Festival in Connecticut, and New York University's summer camp in upstate New York to critical acclaim. Following the 1953 performances, the Children's Dance Theatre performed throughout the United States, including the Seattle World's Fair in 1962 and the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., in 1975. Tanner and her students were featured in ''Life'', ''Newsweek'' and ''Dance Magazine'' and on national television.
In 1960, Tanner was instrumental in gaining a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation to bring great choreographers to Salt Lake City to set work on dancers at the University of Utah. In 1966, through her efforts, a larger grant from the Foundation〔(Rockefeller Foundation Annual Report – 1967; see p. 130 printed report, p. 159 in the PDF )〕〔(Rockefeller Foundation Annual Report – 1969; see p. 57 printed report, p. 74 in the PDF )〕〔(Rockefeller Foundation Annual Report – 1971; see p. 76 printed report, p. 90 in the PDF )〕〔(Rockefeller Foundation Annual Report – 1980; see p. 30 )〕 was awarded to the University to establish the Utah Repertory Dance Theatre.
Tanner taught extensively throughout the United States through the National Endowment for the Arts’ Artist-in-the-School program. She was a contributing author to the ''Self-Expression and Conduct – The Humanities'' book series, published by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich in the 1970s.
Celebrated dancer and choreographer José Limón said of Tanner in 1978, "Salt Lake City is the most blessed city in the world to have the world's master children's dance teacher. There isn’t any place, and I include New York, London, Paris, Moscow, that has anyone who can touch her genius for teaching children the exciting purity of the dancing arts."〔(Tanner Dance website - History )〕 John Kerr, NEA Director of Education, called Tanner the nation's "outstanding children's dance teacher," noting that "she combines the techniques and training of the professional dancer with a marvelous and rare understanding of how to teach and inspire children."〔(Virginia Tanner biography at Utah History to Go ). Retrieved 2015-09-21.〕
Tanner is the recipient of numerous awards, including an honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts from the University of Utah and a Plaudit award for inspired teaching from the National Dance Association.
Virginia Tanner died on May 20, 1979. The creative dance program she founded in 1949 continues to thrive and expand, sharing the methods of dance instruction that she pioneered.〔
