Franklin D. Roosevelt founded the New Deal and Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression to federally assist artists in raising national ethics. The Federal Theater has been established and dance has gotten for the first time federal backing, which has generated a dance awareness that is incomparable to subsequent initiatives in this nation.
