1950 – Dance and Dancers magazine established by Peter Williams

Down Arrow

Four years after the launch of Ballet Today magazine, another important publication, Dance and Dancers, was added to the magazine stalls. Published by Philip Dosse and edited by Peter Williams, it signified the public’s growing interest in ballet and dance. The magazine was later edited by dance critic John Percival and continued to be published until 1995. Dance and Dancers was part of a group of magazines that also included Plays and Players, Art and Artists and Music and Musicians.
