Biography

Editor and compiler, John Willis, was responsible for creating Dance World (1966-1979), an annual reference guide that served as the official chronicle of each year's dance season. Willis was born in Morristown, Tennessee. After graduating from Morristown High School in 1934, he attended Milligan College and later took extension classes at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville (1938-41). Willis served in the United States Navy during World War II. In 1944, Willis, along with Daniel Blum and Norman McDonald, created Theatre World, a yearbook about the theater. Based on this successful model, launched Dance World in 1966. The publication covred the dance scene on Broadway, Off-Broadway, as well as national touring companies and professional companies from cities, states, universities and other countries. He served as its editor until 1979. Willis also taught non-consecutively in the New York City public school system for twenty five-years.
