Biography

1. Richard Philp began his career at Dance Magazine as the Managing Editor. He was brought to the magazine under William Como's tutelage in 1969. Dance Magazine is a monthly dance publication mostly concerned with the United States. It covers modern dance and ballet, as well as other forms of dance, including jazz. The magazine was first published in 1927 and has continued monthly to the present day. When Como died in 1989, Philp was appointed Editor-in-Chief. He held that position for 11 years. In 1999 under a new publisher, and an office move to the San Francisco area, his role was changed to executive editor. In this role he continued to write his monthly Kickoff column until 2002.
