I Mdte Male F^rticipaiits In Dance Co. P€Nt)UlUM 3 By Matthew J. Howell, Jr. Staff Writer Patricia Gray, head of the Dance Department and “The Construction Company,'' bid the ' most exciting thing this year, is that eight of the 35 dancers she is wri(ing with are males. "It is so hard to find mble' • dancers,” Gray said. “I encbii'rage' i men to dance because it is mU6h nice athletics.” m. Jane Wellford, Dance I^sy'uc- lor at Elon for five yeare says, I think its wonderful! It gives the company balance.” Greg Chandler, a senior and Community Recreation major, says it is the first time he serious ly thought about dancing. “It’s a unique experience, and I enjoy it.” Chandler said that he wants to break from the mold of the tradi tional male dancer and go into modern dance. Pat Gray, says that this is the biggest and the best company she has worked with. The dancers perform Modern, Jazz and Con temporary Ballet dances. I Gray has been producing dance performances for Elon for seven years. Wellford said there are three times more dancers for this per formance than in any other they have produced. The dancers are students who are enrolled in dance classes which prepare them for four per formances. The students are re quired to practice at least twice a week for a total of fifteen hours. Recently, the company per formed at Cummings High School and at Williams High School in Burlington. Gray says by touring, the students gain more ex perience. She also encourages the faculty and the administration to support Dance at Elon College. The dance company will per form Saturday and Sunday night at eight o’clock in the Fine Arts Theatre.
