- Summary
- "This index of reviews, essays and announcements in Martin's column "The Dance" from November 27, 1927 through November 22, 1962, has been compiled selectively to provide access to his theories and insights as they developed in the immediacy of the performance experience. Entries include all the major artists, choreographic breakthroughs, and trends occuring in dance during this thirty-five-year period but give particular attention to people and events that appear to have deepened Martin's insight, clarified his critical agenda, or affirmed a personal bias."--introduction to the index by Malcolm McCormick, Dec. 2006.

- Biography (note)
- "John Martin (1893-1985) was the first critic to write full-time for a major American publication. His appointment to The New York Times demonstrated the importance of dance and hastened the development of dance criticism as an independent, specialized skill. As a tireless champion of modern dance, he helped establish it as a major American contribution to the arts. With remarkable foresight, after a period of disillusionment with the ballet, he predicted the course it could and did follow in renewing itself and reaching new heights."--introduction to the index by Malcolm McCormick, Dec. 2006.
