Emergence As A Dancer
Enters moved to New York to study at the Art Students League of New York in 1919, and began began to study dance with Michio Itō the following year, eventually performing as Michio's partner in 1923. That year she created her first piece, an evocation of a statue of a Gothic Virgin, entitled Ecclesiastique. The piece later became Moyen Age. In 1924, she borrowed $25 with which to present her first solo program at the Greenwich Village Theater. Her solo program,"The Theatre of Angna Enters," toured the United States and Europe until 1939 and was performed, though less often, until 1960. In 1934, Enters was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to study Hellenistic art forms in Athens, Greece.

“That if a dancer stayed his hungry foot
It seemed the sun and moon were in the fruit:”
