- Abstract
- The closing event of the Pacific Ballet Theatre's two-week International Tap festival featured all the instructors who taught classes at the intensive workshops:
Eddie Brown, Brenda Bufalino, Steve Condos, LaVaughan Robinson, Dianne Walker, Lynn Dally, Terry Brock, Sam Weber, Mark Mendonca.
Conglomeration, chor. by Coles, who no longer dances, kicked off the show;
Eddie Brown performed his signature paddle-and-roll;
Dianne Walker was hot and featherlike dancing to three jazz tunes, "Cute" "Night in Tunesia" and "C-Jam Blues"
Bufalino came out soft and quiet and worked into rhythms intricate and complex;
Jazz Tap Ensemble (Lynn Dally, Sam Weber, Mark Mendonca) plus their musicians a high point using a variety of turns and patterns;
local dancer Terry Brock had a solo with fiery turns;
Lynn Dally solo;
Sam Weber chose a classical piece that showed his unparalleled virtuosity;
the show closed with the shim sham shimmy, with Steve Condos wildly exclaiming that "Portland is a dancin' town."
