Bertram Ross (November 14, 1920 – April 20, 2003) was an American dancer best known for his work with the Martha Graham Dance Company, with which he performed for two decades.
He was Martha Graham’s longtime dance partner and the originator of male roles in most of her major ballets from the 1950s and 1960s, including Adam in Embattled Garden, and both Agamemnon and Orestes in Clytemnestra.
After leaving Graham's company, Ross taught, choreographed and formed his own dance company.
In later life, he toured in a cabaret duo with his real life partner, the composer and pianist John Wallowitch.
