The Dance Centre on March 31, 1933  gave a special performance  at New York City's Barbizon Plaza, of husband and wife team Gluck-Sandor's, the chief dancer and choreographer and dancer Felicia Sorel's much anticipated dance "Dream Phobias," based on John Vassos's book Phobia - he designed the sets,  with music by A. Lehman Engel. There was also a performance of Debussy's "Afternoon of a Faun." The dance "Dream Phobia" was in the works since 1931. Vassos co-founded the modern experimental Dance Centre in collaboration with choreographer Senya Gluck-Sandor amd Felicia Sorel (Gluck-Sandor to Vassos, 22 December 1936, box 7, Vassos papers, AAA).
