A fair share of the history of dance in the US, Broadway in particular, was seated in Swing 46, at 349 West 46th St in New York City for (DO40) Dancers Over 40's first ever Legacy Awards given to six women, Marge Beddow, Marge Champion, Nicole Barth, Gemze de Lappé and Billie Mahoney. The original announcement listed five women. One more was added at the ceremony, Zoe Dell Nutter, a dancer who was also an early aviation pioneer. Of the initial five, all but Billie live in New York City. Billie came from Kansas City to New York City where she lived and worked for several decades, then returned to Kansas City in the early 1990s to care for her mother, now gone. Billie returns to New York City on a regular basis.
