Her first year was so successful that her teacher., Virgy Lee Emmons, allowed her to start dancing in toe shoes. I'm president of the Senior Dance Club, remarked Nordmeyer in her shy, Southern drawl. The club raises money to attend dance conventions in New Orleans, San Antonio, and at the Sheraton in Houston during the sum- mer.

K '. 'f' 'S X Tip-toeing through the tutus ith grace and poise, he took her hand and together they bowed to the audience. The music began and they were swept into each other's arms, concentrating on the dance and each other. Sophomore ballet dancer David Cates said, It is different because not every kid on the block takes ballet. Cates is a student at the Houston Ballet Academy. He has taken ballet for the past five years and would like to go on to be a professional performer. 'Td like to do it, and I get a lot of enjoyment out of balletf' said Cates. 'Tm on full scholarship at the Acad- emy. There are three different stages in being a professional dancer. They con- sist of the corps, the soloists, and the principal dancer. The corp is just the background dancersf' said Cates. The soloist is when you do it by yourself. The principal dancers get the lead role. Although there is not much money in dancing, Cates wants to make it his career. lt's rewarding, he said. You enjoyiwhat you're doing and not all people get into jobs they enjoy? The Houston Ballet is divided up between the Academyand the Com- pany. The Company is the professional group that is paid for its dancing. The Academy was designed to send stu- dents into the Company. to make them professional dancers, explained Cates. Practice required every afternoon including Saturday, lasting anywhere from an hour and a half to three hours. Cates learned ballet, jazz, and modern dance. One hour a week he has a pas 1 ld Sophomores fcook-degurinj with the girlsf' said Cates. It means a dance for two. Cates doesn't specialize in one dance. He said that to make a really good dancer you have to specialize in jazz, modern dance, and ballet. After practicing 1316 hours a week, there are also rehearsals for lecture demonstrations and ballets to be per- formed. According to Cates, a lecture demonstration is when they go around to different schools and show them examples of dances . . . the basic steps, what to do, and what not to do. Cates has appeared in professional ballets such as The Nutcracker and Swan Lake. Cates feels that performing in these productions has given him good experience. With the constant stretching and dancing, a pulled muscle is a frequent occurrence that is to be expected and watched out for. It's painfulf, said Cates. You have to pull it out before it does much damage. Cates uses an old fashion remedy for strained muscles. He just sits in a hot tub and lets the muscle relax. -- 30 - -- Susan Murray POSED AT THE BAR dancer David Cates demonstrates the Porte de bra position. It means the carriage of the arms, said Cates, All the steps we do are named in French. Photo by Trent Rosenthal
