Ann Hutchinson Guest (born 1918) is an internationally-recognized expert on dance notation. She wrote a history on the subject, and her works have been translated into multiple languages. She is the co-founder of the Dance Notation Bureau, New York, 1940. She also founded the Language of Dance Centre (LODC) in London, England in 1967.
Guest's work made possible the reconstruction of several ballets such as "Pas de Six" from La Vivandière, and L'Après-midi d'un faune by Vaslav Nijinsky.
She has received two honorary doctorates, and in 1997 received the "Outstanding Contribution to Dance Research" award from the Congress on Research in Dance (CORD).[1] In 1998 she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for Dance Studies[2]
