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.

Opeyo Dancers choreographed steps as group
The only requirement for participating is that the person be
serious about dancing, Groomes said. 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."
