Show Cedar City enjoyed Nutcracker IV rl --v " J ones are getting a ballet presence. "They watch the older ones and catch on quickly. Every step is in their minds and they're ready when it's their turn. But, they have a wonderful example in Jackie, and the older dancers," Vickie stated. Dedication is the theme of a ballet dancer's life. "It's a force in their lives. They condition, and they discipline themselves to perform what is expected of them," Jackie said. "For instance, Corinne Adams broke her finger while dancing the waltz of the Sugar Plum Fairy near the end of the production. She was being partnered by David Woods, and you can imagine the pain she felt each time he took her hand, yet she completed the performance beautifully, with that great big smile on her face. We didn't even know what had happened until after when we complimented her. Then she told us that she thought she'd broken her finger. Sure enough, it really was broken." The Cedar City performance was an opportunity which the Utah Regional Ballet could hardly pass up. And, that sets the stage for many more invitations which can only add to the aura of excellence that is the goal of the new ballet company. By Betty Fowler "I'm sure glad we could get it here in Cedar." "It is a young group isn't it? The soloists were excellent ! ' ' "The scenery was fabulous. A lot of work went into that ! ' ' These were just a few of the remarks overheard as people left the auditorium following the evening performance of Utah Regional's "Nutcracker" at Cedar City. A fan who had seen the Utah group before, commented that the dancers technical capacity is improving with each performance. One critic in the audience who's seen their auditions for admittance to the Pacific Regional Ballet in Tacoma, stated "they've improved since then." From the party scene at the beginning, to the grand finale, the Cedar City performance was memorable. The party children endeared themselves to the knowledgeable audience as they cavorted through the Christmas celebration, setting the stage for the extravaganza to follow. Ballet fans were spellbound as they watched the Christmas tree grow to completely fill the background and then change into a wonderland of a snowflake fantasy. Laura Clark as the Snow Queen was very impressive as was Julie Miller in the matinee performance. The Snowflakes adjusted admirably to the smaller stage at SUSC and were breathtaking in their precision and technique. An audience favorite was the Russian dance with Melissa Pace, Julie Miller and Spencer Budd who filled in for Randy Calozzo. Pace and Miller finish their pirouettes when they're supposed to. They complete double pirouettes at precisely the same time. The two girls complement each other, and Spencer showed his gymnastic skills while performing as the bear. The waltz corps was fabulous even though performing on the smaller SUSC stage must have been difficult after they'd enjoyed the spacious floor at Timpview. The Corps work in the snow scene was actually enhanced by the smaller stage. Artistic Director Colledge changed the Arabian from four to eight dancers which gave a whole new dimension to that scene. Holly Jacobs was magnificent in the pas de deux, as was the corps in the Russian. A very audible gasp went up from the audience as Madame Ginger ( Jeffery Colledge) made her on stage. She moved about the stage with utmost grace and charm, hiding the madamoiselles under her skirl. Her slight sleeve, skirl and bodice adjustments were hilarious as she waltzed around with anything but "stilted" elegance. And, the madamoiselles were .adorable as they completed their performance without a hitch and with all the panache of professionals. The Snow and Arabian pas de deuxs were exceptional, and Corinne Adams as the Sugar Plum Fairy with David Woods as the Cavalier were a suitable climax to the first "Nutcracker" since Utah Youth Ballet became Utah Regional Ballet. Bill Kirkpatrick's sets were fantastic, and even with the problems involved in transporting the scenery from Provo to Cedar City, and adjusting the sets to the SUSC stage, the production went off amazing professionalism. Colledge credits Kirkpatrick and an excellent stage crew for the smooth transition. "We actually lost nothing in the performance and a lot is due to the stage crew," commented Colledge. The parents of the dancers who were willing to bring their children to Cedar City also should come in for their share of credit, according to Colledge. "We don't have any complaining, either from the parents or the children," Colledge said. "They get along so well. They bring their books and study. And, you don't hear any complaints." Most of the dancers perform in several different scenes. For in-stance, the Wood Nymphs must change immediately for the Waltz and then back to Wood Nymphs and then again for. the finale. All three dances require costume changes. Costume mistresses are back stage holding out costumes as they change from one to another with only seconds to spare. "It's rigorous and demanding," commented Vickie Thomas, an instructor, "yet you never hear a word of complaint." Sometimes costume changes require different shoes, always different hair pieces as well as different costumes. "They're good natured about everything!" Vickie said. Laura Clarke listens to direction from Jacqueline P. It is apparent that even the tiniest Colledge in rehearsals for "The Nutcracker," which Utah Regional Ballet performed at Timpview High School and Southern Utah State College. f THE CO-E- P I AEROBIC FITNESS PROGRAM ( lONEFREKLASSlX 52.00 OFF -- i B 8 cloiwt with ihit od (" i'u- I danti only).

In addition to preparing for the annual Pageant production, which is presented each June and July, the Pageant produces orchestra and choir concerts, modern dance presentations, dramatic produc-tions, art exhibits and other arts and .fund raising events on an ongoing basis. Volunteers will be welcomed on a year-roun- seasonal or temporary basis. Those interested may pick up an application at the Pageant Center, 454 N.

Brockbank, Pageant managing director, will also schedule youth groups, such as Scout troops, Eagle Scouts or MIA groups needing service projects, for specific "one-time- " volunteer help at the Pageant Center. Leaders may call 756-720- 7 to schedule group projects. Area residents who can assist with set construction, painting, make-up- , costuming, sculpting, welding or other projects in production or remodeling will be welcome to join the Pageant production staff, Brockbank said.
