Historical Note
Modern dance classes were offered at Bates from shortly after
1945, and performances were commonly given in conjunction with
music programs at the college. In 1965, Marcy Plavin was hired to
teach modern dance at Bates, and shortly thereafter started the
Modern Dance Company. The group's first public performance came in
1969. The Bates Modern Dance Company has continued to perform,
teach, and give various demonstrations in the ensuing years, and
remains a vibrant part of Bates campus life.
