New season for

. IN THE unforgiving world
of modern dance, West
Vancouver’s Judith Marcuse
Repertory Dance Company
has whirled around the
various pitfalls of its nativity
to gracefully survive its first
season.

:By TIMOTHY RENSHAW

"Success of the” company
springs from its dedication
to variety and originality and
its mission to remove dance’
from unreachable high-brow
shelves and bring the univer-
sal beauty of its movement
and physical grace to au-
diences that might normally
dismiss dance as esoteria for
the arts community.

‘Admittedly, we're a
strange mixture,’’ says Mar-
cuse, “all the dancers in the
company are professionals,
each has been soloists in his
or her own right and each
has at least six years of pro-
fessional experience. The
company is difficult to
categorize .because, though
we are strongly oriented
towards classic ballet, ‘we
perform an enormous range

of dance styles to an enor-.

mous range of musical

Goodman to Willie Nelson
to the Rolling Stones.”’ ;

second season,
