Jane Dudley (April 3, 1912 - September 19, 2001 [ "Jane Dudley, Modern Dancer And Teacher, Is Dead at 89" by Anna Kisselgoff. "The New York Times." September 22, 2001.] ) was an American modern dancer, choreographer, and teacher.

Biography

Dudley was born in New York City, and studied dance with Hanya Holm, Louis Horst, and Martha Graham. Between 1937 and 1944 she was a leading dancer in the Martha Graham Company and created roles in "Deaths and Entrances" and "Letter to the World." In 1942 she joined the New Dance Group, and also performed with Sophie Maslow and William Bales in the "Dudley-Maslow-Bales Trio", a collaborative dance troupe that was active for twelve years. Many of Dudley's works dealt with issues of social protest. She was a leading teacher at the Martha Graham School from 1938 through 1958.

In 1970 Dudley moved to London to teach at the London Contemporary Dance School. She died in London at the age of 89.
