A combination of classical and contemporary
dance is the Judith Marcuse Dance Ensemble's
forte, and their first lower mainland tour will
premiére at the New Westminster campus of
Douglas College on Friday, February 28.

The program will include music ranging from the
classical to Aretha Franklin, and Spanish tradi-
tional to original jazz works of Kirk Nurock.

In total, the ensemble will perform for 90
minutes.

"We try to hit everything from what people
expect, to stuff that is more off the wall,"
Marcuse says. "A particularly fun piece will

be the Canadian premiéreof our original number,
‘A Tango, Two Waltzes and the Blues’."

The ensemble is made up of five well known
Canadian dancers, including Shacha Belinsky,
former principal dancer for Les Grands Ballets
Canadienne, Arron Schields, of the Karen
Jamieson Dance Company, Joe Laughlin former
Canadian Tumblingteam member, Betsy Carson
of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet and Mary-Louis
Albert of the Anna Wyman troupe.

Judith Marcuse, artistic director of the ensemble,
is one of Canada's most celebrated choreogapher/
dancers, and winner of the 1976 Chalmers Award
and the 1979 Clefford E. Lee Award.

Her work has received performances in Holland
England, the United States, Israel, and a tour
to remount a new project in Portugal this spring.

The Judith Marcuse Dance Ensemble will perform
at the Douglas College Performance Theatre at
8:00 P.M., Friday, February 28. Tickets are
