Eve Gentry looks back over her multifaceted career, which she began under her real name, Henrietta Greenhood. She first studied modern dance with a Laban-trained teacher in California, then moved to New York where she joined Hanya Holm's company, creating roles in works such as Trend and Tragic exodus. She studied dance notation with Irma Otte-Betz, and established the Dance Notation Bureau in New York with Helen Priest Rogers and Ann Hutchinson Guest. Her study of the Pilates method with Joseph Hubertus Pilates eventually led her to evolve her own concept of teaching his corrective and rehabilitative exercises, which she now teaches in her studio in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Dancer, choreographer, and educator Martha Myers recalls the pioneering days of dance in television, when she and Jac Venza created the series A time to dance, a precursor of Dance in America. She discusses her interest in the study of anatomy, kinesiology, and injury prevention for dancers, and notes the current growth of this field, citing as examples points made by Sally Fitt. Speaking from many years of involvement in the American Dance Festival, she traces a little of its history and describes some of its current activities, among them international exchanges of performers, teachers, and choreographers; the black tradition project, which aims to preserve the works of black choreographers; and workshops in a variety of body therapy techniques.
