	Lester Horton Awards- About DRC - Welcome
		But Lester Horton had chosen to do his work in Southern California, three thousand miles away from the capital of the modern dance world; and Los Angeles, his home base, was regarded as a bush-league city, notorious for its lack of serious art.
		Horton's exuberant, free-flowing training techniques are now being taught in cities throughout the United States, and the full impact of his career is yet to be known.
		The Lester Horton Dance Awards were founded by the Dance Resource Center of Greater Los Angeles to honor excellence in concert dance by Southland artists, technicians, teachers, and others devoted to the field.
