Howard is now recognised as one of the founders of Contemporary Dance in Britain. To quote journalist Clement Crisp in the Financial Times:
| “ | It is impossible to overestimate the significance of Robin Howard's work in securing and fostering the growth and development of contemporary dance in Britain... Robin Howard was single-minded in his dedication, and he worked without sparing himself. His simplicity and generosity of manner, his idealism and enthusiasm, touched everyone who knew or worked with him. His best memorial is surely the grand flowering of dance in this country that he inspired and guided." | ” |
