In interviews interspersed with performance excerpts and footage of her dance classes, Betty Jones discusses her passion for dancing and her desire to share it through her teaching. She reminisces about her performing career, particularly with the José Limón Dance Company, whose artistic director was Doris Humphrey ; her long association with Limón, which began when she was his student at Jacob's Pillow ; her continuing involvement with the American Dance Festival, beginning with summers at Connecticut College. She also discusses her preference for the roles of interpreter and teacher rather than that of choreographer ; her belief that the artist must transcend the purely physical or technical sides of dance ; and her appreciation of the works of Humphrey and Limón as expressions of the human spirit. Included in this video is her acceptance speech upon receiving the American Dance Festival's Balasaraswati/Joy Ann Dewey Beinecke Chair for Distinguished Teaching in 1993, in which she pays tribute to her own teachers Limón, Humphrey, and Antony Tudor. A selection of dance excerpts depict her performances from 1949 to 1993.
