The Advanced Class successfully pulled together a showcase by De- cember. The program included dances choreographed by guest choreo- graphers from the Bella Lewitzky Dance Co, and other outside organizations. With the high costs of these produc- tions, the Modern Dance classes had to raise about S5000 for each perfor- mance. Trying to accomplish this task by having candy sales, the organization met with problems due to haphazard sales techniques of the dancers and the limits set by Student Council. Sym- pathizing with their problems, senior Jenny Lin commented, Modern Dance does not get the credit it deserves. lt is a vital part of fine arts program and without it, we would be lacking in cre- ativity.
