Talley Beatty
Talley Beatty (22 December 1918 – 29 April 1995) was born in Cedar Grove, Louisiana, a section of Shreveport, but grew up in Chicago, Illinois. He is considered one of the greatest of African American choreographers, and also bears the titles dancer, educator, and dance company director. After studying under Katherine Dunham and Martha Graham, Beatty went on to do solo work and choreograph his own works which center on the social issues, experiences, and everyday life of African Americans.〔Maleaney P. White-Dixon, "Beatty, Talley", in ''International Encyclopedia of Danc'' Vol. 1, ed. Selma Jeanine Cohen (New York: Oxford University Press, 1998),396.〕 Beatty and his technique and style of dancing have been both praised and criticized by critics and dancers of his day.
==Dance background==
Beatty began studying dance at the age of fourteen with Katherine Dunham. He learned her style of dancing which was heavily based on her African and Caribbean studies of dance in the West Indies. He was a part of Dunham’s company and performed in several shows with them. He also trained under Martha Graham in the 1940s.〔Teren Damato Ellison, “Beatty, Talley,” in ''International Dictionary of Modern Dance,'' ed. Dan McDonagh (Detroit: St. James Press, 1998),47.〕 He left the Dunham troupe in 1946 to continue his studies in New York. He took ballet lessons in New York, but because he was African American he was forced to attend dance classes in the early mornings or late nights in a dressing room while classes were going on in an adjacent studio.〔Douglas Rosenberg, dir., ''Talley Beatty: Conversations with Contemporary Masters of American Modern Dance'' (American Dance Festival,1993).〕
Beatty continued his work as a solo artist and choreographer. He explored a variety of different dance roles and styles.〔"Talley Beatty,” Biography, American Dance Festival and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts ()(),(accessed 22 March, 2008).〕 He appeared in films such as Maya Deren's ''A Study in Choreography for Camera'' (1945) and stage shows such as Helen Tamiris’s revue ''Inside U.S.A.'' (1948). He danced in Broadway musicals such as ''Cabin in the Sky''. He was nominated for a Tony Award in 1977 for choreography for the Broadway show ''Your Arms Too Short to Box with God'' (1976).
He also danced in nightclubs, for musical theater, and on the concert stage.〔Teren Damato Ellison, “Beatty, Talley,” 48.〕 He even did a minstrel ballet titled ''Blackface''.〔“Talley Beatty,” Biography, American Dance Festival and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts http://www.pbs.org/wnet/freetodance/biographies/beatty.html],(accessed 22 March, 2008).〕 Beatty also choreographed for a variety of choreographers including Ruth Page, Lew Christiansen, George Balanchine, and Syvilla Fort.〔Teren Damato Ellison, “Beatty, Talley,” 48.〕 He choreographed over fifty ballets〔Maleaney P.
