Biography/History Alma Hawkins (1904-1998) was a pioneering dance administrator and educator who wrote a number of books about dance education and composition. Hawkins helped to establish the field of dance therapy, and founded the nation s first autonomous university dance department at UCLA. Hawkins was born in the rural town of Rolla, Missouri, daughter of a dairy man and a homemaker. Having no outlets or training for dance, her early interests as a young girl were in athletics. With the help of her high school basketball coach, Hawkins was able to attend the University of Missouri, where she majored in physical education and received her first exposure to interpretive, folk, and social dancing. Upon graduating in 1927, Hawkins returned to Rolla, MO to teach physical education at the local high school, where she also began teaching dance and choreographing for local recitals and pageants. She eventually left Missouri for New York City in 1931 to work on a Master s degree at Columbia University s prestigious Teachers College. Hawkins received her degree from Columbia in 1932 and remained in New York City to teach physical education and dance at the YWCA, while also participating in the developing but vibrant modern dance scene of downtown New York. In 1938 she moved to Chicago to begin teaching at George Williams College teaching physical education and dance courses, while also helping to build a large national community of university educators to support modern dance. In the late 1940s, during her tenure at George Williams College, she began to spend her summers in New York to work on her PhD at the Columbia Teachers College. Her doctoral research focused on the integration of dance in physical education programs and the function of modern dance in university education, and, by 1952, she received her PhD. Her growing reputation as a national figure in dance and physical education led to her being recruited to join the faculty of the UCLA Physical Education Department in 1953. Collaborating with a number of other dance faculty within the Physical Alma Hawkins papers, 1919-1998 2182 2

Education Department, Hawkins oversaw the development of a dance major in the department. This eventually paved the way for a split in the department between dance and physical education, which was encouraged by the university, culminating in the institution of dance as an autonomous department, replete with its own graduate program, in 1962. Hawkins chaired and taught in the newly formed UCLA Dance Department until her retirement in 1977. During her tenure at UCLA, Hawkins also served as a dance therapist and researcher at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute from 1960-1977, making a number of dance therapy films, while also finding time to form the Council of Dance Administrators, a national organization that created the guidelines and standards for national dance accreditation. Upon Hawkins retirement from UCLA, she taught as a distinguished professor at Santa Monica College until 1987. Over the course of her career, Hawkins authored four books including Modern Dance in Higher Education (1953), Creating through Dance (1963), Dance A Projection for the Future (1968), and Moving from Within (1991). Hawkins died in her Santa Monica home in 1998.
