Louis Horst and Anna Sokolow

Anna had studied with Louis Horst and Martha Graham at the Neighborhood Playhouse before joining the Graham company.
Anna was Louis Horst's  assistant   Anna always had a dance to demonstrate what Louis wanted.
Anna worked with Louis Horst until 1938 and later spoke of him as her most important teacher.
 

Anna explained the Neighborhood Playhouse approch:
"With Graham we learned modern dance technique, and with Horst we began to study, and I mean study, choreography".
 

Lyric Suite is the work that caused Louis Horst to remark that Anna was now a choreographer with a language of her own  .
