Nonstop Dance Co. teaches kids
to perform to different drummers
By MELISSA CRAIG
Contributing Writer
They call themselves the Non-
Stop Dance Company and they live
up to their name.
The company, which meets as a
class twice a week, performs in
Georgia schools at least 15 times
during the school year to teach
types of dance that may be unfa
miliar to students.
“Our purpose is to go into the
schools ana provide a program
which will educate them about
dance nnd entertain them. Most
people in Georgia haven’t had
much exposure to dance as an art
form,” said University dance in
structor Virginia Carver, who orga
nized the company nine years ago.
She said the 45-minute pro
grams include many types of
dancing such as ballet, improvisa
tion, modern and African.
“We try to open people up to
other types of dancing beside TV or
pop. Most don’t realize it’s a se
rious discipline," she said.
The dancers agree they some
times surprise or shock students
for whom they perform.
‘When they see us do modern
and ballet, they don’t think we can
‘dance’ — like the Hammer or the
Reebok,” said Amy Carter, a senior
dance education major.

conduct a "view and do” program to
give children from kindergarten to
fifth grade a chance to learn
movements they watched. Master
classes are designed to meet the
needs of older students.
Because University students do
all of Non-Stop’s dancing and tea
ching, Carver said it’s one of the
best practical experiences in their
college careers.
Member Jacque-lynn Nutbrown
said she learned communication
skills, responsibility and discipline
through her experiences.
"1 want to be a teacher and this
will give me the experience I need,”
said Christine Cunningham, a
freshman dance education major.
The company isn’t limited to
dance majors, but Carver encour
ages at least two years’ mem
bership.
‘"Now and then, 111 get somebody
who’s great and not a dance
migor,” she said.
Auditions are held biannually;
once in the fall and once in the
spring.
Carver said it was hard to get
bookings at first and the company
still has difficulty with financial
matters due to a lack of funding.
Dancers often purchase their own
costumes and props if a budget
from donations isn’t available.
However, the company has re
ceived high marks from the schools
that have seen it perform.
Amy Beck, assistant principal at
Grovetown Elementary School,
said, ‘We enjoyed it immensely.
The children were amazed at how
creative movement and music can
be because they’re more restrictive
in their ideas of what dance is.
There were a lot of mouths open.
‘We got to see all the shows
acted out on the playground for the
next week. We’ve already sched
uled the company for next year and
I’m just sorry they’re not closer so
we could incorporate them into our
curriculum.”
Carver said, ‘We’ve spent eight
years developing this reputation.
Our calendar’s all filled for the
next year and I could even start
filling up for the year after that.”
SA wants student say in semester proposal
Student Association senators
voted Tuesday to send a letter to
University President Charles
Knapp requesting a time period for
student input before an official pro
posal to switch to the semester
system is presented to the Univer
sity System Board of Regents.
The University Council voted
May 31 to ask Knapp to submit a
request for a switch to semesters to
the regents.
SA President Heath Garrett
said, “It’s a very controversial issue
that students have not been rep
resented on. I feel like we have got
to get involved.”
The University Council dis
cussed the semester issue during a
meeting before taking the vote.
Garrett said student opinion
wasn’t considered.
Senior Sen. Aparna Deshmukh
said a student poll will not be valid
unless students are well-informed
on the issue.
‘We have to make certain that
we give both sides of the story," she
said.
Garrett said the SA will use
summer quarter to research the
pros and cons of a switch to semes
ters.
‘There are a lot of question
marks out there,” he said. ‘We
have to take over some responsibi
lity for student input on this issue
immediately." _ Edw|| , d(
