He worked with dancers including Ruth St. Denis Anna Pavlova and Sophie Pflanz among others. His artistic works are part of the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago the Cleveland Museum of Art the New York Public Library the Library of Congress and many others. Perhaps Troy Kinney's greatest legacy is in his contributions in the area of dance. He co-authored with his wife the books "Social Dancing of Today" and "The Dance: Its Place in Art and Life" for which he traveled throughout the world to study various dance styles. It remains to this day one of the most comprehensive works on the subject." Wikipedia. unknown books
