Sally Gross

Educational Philosophy
I am devoted to the investigation of movement, space, and the body. My work is both physical and formal. My motto is: The powerful eloquence that comes with art pared down to its most lucid essentials.

For more information about Prof. Gross' distinguished career, see the January, 2000 issue of Performing Arts Journal, which contains a 20-page article about her, complete with many photos.

B.A., Brooklyn College

Prof. Gross teaches Body Movement, T'ai Chi Chuan and Modern Dance.
