Hello Floria and welcome to the Forum!

[Emeralds]

Dance Magazine might be able to produce reprints for you if you contact them. I don’t know if it’s possible for the rest, but best of luck!

I don't know whether you can get to London, but Westminster Reference Library should have a complete set of Dance and Dancers.  I don't know about any of the other English-language magazines.

Floria, I have the Dance & Dancers January 1950 - can I help you?

 

Also, there are always dozens of old ballet magazines for sale on ebay if you have the patience to look through them.

[Floria]

Thank you, 

Emeralds, I wrote to Dance Magazine but they can't help me .... thanks for your information and help 

Alison, it is not in my next project to go to London, but I tried to see on internet and they don't sale anything ... thanks for your information and help

Jane S, i have been on eBay and found the dance and dancers January 1950 ... there is really document about Ms Hightower ? Thanks for your help and information

wish you all a nice evening

I think it would be well worth getting the Dance & Dancers  - there are several things related to Hightower: first of all a nice piece about her by Peter Williams with 3 photographs (one of them a rather sweet one of her when she was 16), then an offstage photo, and then an illustrated review of a ballet called Pleasuredrome which she had recently choreographed for the Metropolitan Ballet.

 

(You need to know that  Peter Williams who was also the editor of D&D, wrote the story for Pleasuredrome - so perhaps was not completely unbiased, though he did at least get someone else to  review it!)

 

(Also this was the first ever issue  of D&D so it is interesting in itself - to me, anyway!)
