ULKU Fresh and exciting Dancers perform at academy By JANET GRADY Special lo the DTIl Fresh was the way one member of the audience described the choreogra phy performed by the Carolina Dancers last night at Durham Academy. The dancers performed works rang ing in style from comic to romantic with great energy and technical exper tise. The lights dimmed, the curtain open ed and suddenly you realized why these people devote the long hours or hard work and sweat to their work. Every thing clicked and the excitement generated on stage soon included the audience. The first piece performed, "Le Renard Dansait," choreographed by Diane Elliot, was the piece the Carolina Dancers performed in their New York debut at the American Theater Lab. Dancing to cajun folk music, Marion Turner and others evoked images of a Subregional conference to be The sub-regional conference of the North Carolina Black Law Students Association, BALSA, is scheduled for 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Saturday at the UNC law school. .

This coupling was further enhanced by the interesting combination of dancers themselves. Variations in body types and performing styles served to increase the visual beauty of the piece. Donald Blumenfeld, an intense per former, captured the audience dancing in a work he choreographed, "Ro mance." The costuming and lighting of this piece added to its poignant and etheveal ambiance. "Meetings," a new addition to the Carolina Dancers repertory choreo graphed by Rebecca Slifkin, showed the audience the effect that timing and tempo can have on movement. Mary Grady and Blumenfeld were equally striking, each with their elegant and graceful lines dancing the same move ment, first in silence and then to the rhythm of congo drums. The piece makes an interesting comment on rela tionships and the effect that time exerts upon them. The concert closed with "Do Not Pass Go," a piece choreographed by Carol Richard. A combination of light percussive music, reminding one of the tinkling strains , from Saturday morn I.'s Merry Melodies, and a troop of wonderfully energetic dancers, surpris ed and entertained the audience. Marion Calloway gave a bright perfor mance as she danced her way through the comical shenanigans of the troop.
