Ethnic Dance Festival June 12-14
La Meri has been called 20 wo-
men in one. She also has been ac-
claimed as the world's foremost
authority on the ethnic dance.
Dancer , teacher , lecturer and
author , Russell Mcriw e a t h e r
Hughes for the past several years
has devoted the tremendous skill
and enthusiasm that is La Meri to
instructing here on Cape Cod. As
a result the Cape Cod Ethnic
Dance Group came into being in
1966 and is now registered with
I he Association of American Dance
Companies.
Last June this group presented
its first dance festival sponsored
by Barnstable Comedy Club. Au-
dience response was immediate ,
enthusiastic , demanding more .
On June 12, 13 and 14 at 8:30
p.m. La Meri and the Cape Cod
Ethnic Dance Group will offer a
second festival at the Village Hall.
Barnstable.
Here the rich gold and silver of
Benares saris, Spanish laces and
the lava-lavas , kikepas and muu-
muus of the Islands will furnish
colorful complement to the dances
of East India , Hawaii and Spain.
A special Capo feature of this
year 's festival will be the group 's
interpretation of two tales from
Elizabeth Reynard's " N a r r o w
Land" , with Ann Williams of Oster-
ville doing the narration.
Among dancers appearing will
be New York professionals Renato
aud Ricci , who plan to settle on
Cape Cod largely because of the
activities of the dance group.
Those who saw last year's festival
will remember well the fine per-
formance of Barbara Dodge, La
Mori's student for the past year
and a half , who leaves shortly
after the festival for Spain and
further study.
As delightful a dancer as she Is
a skater, Sheryl Handler will join
her mother for an Hawaiian duet ,
and Melody Hall , who last June
had the title role of Coppelia in
the Spanish work , will dance The
Bolero and team with Cynthia
Small and Renato in The Pandan-
guillo this year.

unseen hands at work backstagc-
Joan Condit dualing as production
and stage manager , Jack Vetorino
