During #WomensHistoryMonth, Luhrs & Associates remembers and honors Islene Pinder (1929-2012), founding director of BALAM Dance Theatre.
Pinder was a trailblazing #choreographer, associate professor at Lehman College in New York City and a movement analyst, who undertook anthropological studies of Balinese #culture and #dance and brought the art form back to the United States. We remember her love of dance and her lengthy contribution to the #arts.
