New York: Dance Magazine, 1970. Magazine. 84p. including covers 8.5x11 inches, articles, features, reviews, listings, illustrated with b&w photos and ads, lightly worn, otherwise a very good semi-glossy entertainment magazine in lightly worn stapled pictorial wraps. Cover story on Zoe Caldwell as "Colette" etc.
The numbering of the volumes is illogical in the beginning years up to about 1971. "After Dark" was originally "Ballroom Dance Magazine" which ended with its volume 9, #4. The new magazine's first issue continued the numbering of the previous magazine and so issue #1 is stated as volume 10, #1. By the third year of the magazine they changed the numbering from volume 13 to volume 3, #9. A fine magazine of arts, stage, dance and music that bridged the gap between gay and straight readers in the 1970s-80s. (Inventory #: 189933)
