0 Tha Dxl!v Ttr Hssl Thursday, April 12, 1979 dJ)pBy JDmimc3 irs perfo rm to u & ght By CAROL LEWIS Special to tte Daily Tar Heel The Opeyo Danccrs spring performance, entitled "Opeyo Creations," will be presented at 7:30 tonight in Memorial Hall. The program features a wide variety of modern dance, jazz and African jazz routines. The Soul Strutters, a teenage modern dance group representing Hargraves Community Center will be featured in the performance. The -Opeyo Dancers is a subgroup of the Black Student Movement. Greg Pennington, adviser for the dancers, said former UNC student Herman Mixon, founded the dancers in 1971. "Opeyo means freedom and we try to convey our strengths and abilities through our movements," Pennington said. Pennington formerly with the Ebony Dance Theater in Durham, and who draws from this experience when dancing with and advising the Opeyo group said, "Opeyo Creations" represents a turning point for the dancers. "The choreography was done as a group," he said. "Usually the choreography is done by one person." The Opeyo dance style has changed since 1971. Pennington said the earlier dancers performed undramatic line dances with repeated movements. However, within the current group, "the choreography is much better, the dancers are more professional and they use more variety in their steps, he said. Pennington, who has been dancing for eight years, is one of three men who dance with the Opeyo Dancers. He began dancing as a freshman in college. "I wasn't interested at first, but there were few men who were dancing and I realized the advantages for male dancers." Pennington said the director of the original Opeyo Dancers was a man, but there have been some years when no men were in the group. "Our males, all graduate students, are not the best dancers, but they work very hard." He said the men have the potential for jumping higher and moving faster. "They haven't had dance lessons, but they are serious about dancing." The 1 1 dancers are directed by UNC junior Glenna Groomes and Diane Waters, a graduate student. The group includes one senior, six juniors and sophomores and four graduate students.

She said the only experience most of the group members have is in disco dancing. This school year the dancers have performed at Duke University, in "Great Jones Street," a UNC English 84 class production and in BSM activities. Groomes said the dancers tour during the fall but concentrate on their recital in the spring. Dance groups from area schools are usually invited to perform with the Opeyo Dancers during the fall. Groomes said there is usually one major recital, and the entire spring is devoted to choreography, rehearsing and promotion for the performance. Both Groomes and Pennington said they are excited about tonight's performance. "We're excited because the group is excited." Groomes said. "Everybody has worked very hard."
