In 1973 he completed his PhD at the University of Alberta , writing his dissertation on " Dr. Johnson and the Writer in society . " He is currently teaching at Edmonton's Grant MacEwan Community College . Without any previous affiliation with the Dance community , but as the author of The Salome Dancer , The Life and Times of Maud Allan Dr. Cherniavsky has designed Did She Dance as a a primary source for scholars interested in examining Maud Allan's peculiar art and in appraising her place in the evolution e of twentieth century dance . Both works are expansions of five articles on Maud Allan published in Dance Chronicle , 1982-6 . Twenty five years after Maud Allan's death in 1956 , Felix Cherniavsky received from his aunt , Manya Cherniavsky , a small cache of Maud Allan's extant personal papers together with what he describes as her ' jottings , ' outlining the chief events of her unusual life - and career . With generous funding from the Private Scholars Program of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada , he tape recorded exhaustive interviews with his aunt and then made three research trips and contacts with numerous individuals who knew or worked with Maud Allan ) .
