Scope and content

The image library of the Dancing Times consists of approximately 35,000 items - photographs which were sought, or submitted for possible use in the magazine, but not all were published. They represent all the subjects covered by the magazine, and therefore all aspects of dance: social and ballroom dancing, national dances from around the world, teachers and teaching of all types of dance, dance on film and television, and performance dance of all styles. The photographs include companies, schools and individuals, performers, choreographers, composers, teachers and students, as well as newsworthy events in the dance world.

The collection includes photographs by the majority of the most distinguished photographers of dance, such as Serge Lido, Gordon Anthony, Houston Rogers, Zoe Dominic, Martha Swope, Roy Round and Anthony Crickmay.
