The program is one selected
from the great solo and duo
numbers of the ipopular and
enduring works of the classi
cal repertoire, dramatic and
2omedy numbers, including
Tfiime (pantomine) and mod
ern dance. This wide range of
programming has something
to appeal to the tastes of ev

Marina Svetlova has appear-

and cities of the world. After
a thrilling appearance in Lon
don she was labeled by a Lon
don paper as “one of the fin
est dancers in the world to
day.”
Assisting Marina Svetlova
will be a leading male dancer
a Spanish dancer, and a pian
ist.
Her meticulous attention to
every detail of costume, light

and timing, have firmly estab
lished Marina Svetlova and
