DANCE PRODUCT ON GERMAN CLUB l98l's Dance Production class is filled with an enor- mous amount of talent. Mrs. Anne Newman, head of Dance Production, refers to the class as an indepen- dent study class for danc- ers that is not completely independent . This year's Dance Production is said to have more talent together in one place than there has been for a very long time. However, it is not just Mrs. Newman that is impressed with the class. Paula Vaz- quez, a potential profes- sional who is now enrolled in the class, says, The class is greatl Mrs. Newman is just fantastic! Another promising dancer, Mia Kel- ly, says, the class is good because Mrs. Newman lets us do what we want to do. She allows us to be cre- ative. The energy of the ambitious students enrolled in the class is being geared toward this year's produc- tion. The production will in- clude such dances as tap, jazz, 5O's, modern, and bal- let. The students are hoping it will be the best produc- tion ever. l ll DANCE PRODUCTION - Front Row. Rhonda Sakson, Marlea Ellison, Heather Lawrence, Nancy Wenger. Row 2.
