This is USC's first dance company, and the troupe must be commended for all its hard work and effort. Under the artistic directorship of Susan Earle, the company put together a format of six numbers, alternating modern dance, jazz, tap and hallot The i Entei Murder on the Orient > TO?

I felt as though I was at a full dress rehearsal rather than an opening night performance. The opening number, "Wade in the Water," was a modern dance number which did not quite come off due to an unbalanced line. Following the opening number, a "Mysterious Chick" appeared.

Each dancer is accomplished in her own right, but as a group, they did not put "Pas de Quatre" together. One number which stood out was a demipointe ballet, "Summer Song," choreographed by Sherry Ratley, who kept her steps very simple and uncluttered. The performance covered the spectrum of dance.
