Doris Hering Charted The Rise Of New York City Ballet And Basically Made Dance Criticism A Thing In The U.S.

“She began reviewing for Dance in the late 1940s and, from 1951 to 1971, was the magazine’s associate editor and principal critic. Early on, immersed in the New York dance scene, she underwent a change of outlook in 1957, when she was given an out-of-town assignment.” She was 94 when she died earlier this month.
