Bob Curtis (dancer)
Robert Leroy "Bob" Curtis (September 1, 1925,[1] Leflore County, Mississippi – December 9, 2009, Vienna, Austria) was a dancer and choreographer of modern dance.
From the late 1960s onwards, he became one of the most important representatives of the form of contemporary dance in Europe, which was shaped by African dance.[2][3] Curtis was photographed by Carl Van Vechten on April 19, 1955.[4][5] A resident in Austria, he died in Vienna in 2009, aged 84. He is buried at the Vienna Central Cemetery.
