Thursday. October 12, 1978 The Daily Tar Heel 5 6 Engaged' ! fi n i!P disco classes fill at dance studio 1 1 at 8 tonight By LAURA ALEXANDER Staff Writer, Disco classes in the Chapel Hill area are filled with people of all ages who want to put their best foot forward on the dance floor, - Whether disco started as a forrri of dancing among homosexual men, as one instructor suggests, or was just a natural following from rock h roll and pop music, it has made a name for itself. And those who are struggling to learn dance steps hope disco is here to stay. ' "... "Even if you're not a dancer, you can go in and enjoy it," ; says Bobbi Embree, ah instructor at Bounds Studio of Dance on South Estes Drive. One of the classes she teaches is 75 percent couples; another is about half couples. There is also a family taking disco lessons together. A group of dieters, a Girl Scout troop and some senior citizens are among those David Getchell, a member of the New Performing Dance Company, is teaching this fall at the company's studio in Durham. Getchell says he likes to talk to his students about what they want to gain from disco dancing lessons. The dieters, he says, probably want to get exercise while others are preparing to flaunt their steps in dance competition. In Getchell's class, students do warm-up exercises to dispose of their inhibitions and loosen up in front of other people. Embree says her classes are like a ballroom class in which men and women are taught steps separately and brought together to practice the routine. Disco is taught for one hour three nights a week at Bounds Studio. Several beginning and intermediate disco classes are currently, being held at the New Performing -Dance Company. The second session of disco lessons be'a,hi this month. - . .-. .,' .;-'. Women students are generally more enthusiastic about thei ' lessons but by the end of a week of meetings everyone is usually enjoying the class, Embree says. "Everybody's having a good time. That's most important." - r ihu-.l Also important is learning to feel comfortable dancing; 1 ". The social aspect of disco dancing, interests many students the mnst thp intriirtrr nv 1 "They say they find their dance steps from television shows 'J Ml -wfc . ----- ss , - - orv0- - -: : - -, - -- " w t - -- -- -- - -' e -V-V, . - V - .... 1 Dancers prepare for Saturday Night' Fever ...at Bounds Dance Studio such as Soul Train and American. Bandstand and from the movies Saturday Night Fever, Grease and Thank God It's Friday. ' Some say disco a style that attracts the skilled dancer as well as the average person has revived touch dancing. For those who want to move gracefully from the studio to the disco dance v floor, Getchell, who often dances competitively, discusses what he looks for among dancing couples: the ease and enjoyment with which they perform, the technique or difficulty ' of the movements, the choreography and the variation in the speed and rhythm of the moves. Simon Gray's social comedy Otherwise Engaged will open the Gallery Theatre's third season at 8 tonight in the new Carr Mill Playhouse. J The -play, which won the 1975 London Best Play Award, will be directed by William - Hardy, a professor in the department of radio, television and motion pictures. Otherwise Engaged is the story of Simon Hench, a successful publisher who tries to sit down for four uninterrupted hours of listening to Wagner's Parsifal. He faces interruption, however, in the form of a student slob; an upstairs tenant; his brother, who is doomed to failure; his wife, who wants to talk about her affair with another man; a friend in need of sobering up; and the friend girlfriend, who quite literally bares her chest to Simon to get him to publish her book. Kurt Corriher, who holds a MFA degree from UNC, plays Simon Hench. Other members of the cast include Bud DeWinter, Don Brady, John Engell, Julie Booe, Hugh Hodgin and Marti Preston.
