Mr. Show- man Himself, Dennis Moore says he creates each costume to inter- pret each dance number “because costuming, as well as the steps of the dance, must make an har- monious picture to the audience across the footlights.” The Dennis Moore revue, “Let’s Dance Again”, held in the Thornhill High School Auditorium last week, was not only a sellâ€"out (900 tickets being sold), but a smashing hit, from the time the orchestra under the direction of Philip Barnes swung into the opening overture, “There’s No Business Like Show Business” â€" right through to the end of the three-hour performance when dancers, Heather Hughes, Jean Tibando, Carol Russ, Elice Oughtred, Molly Pitman, Susan Elford and Susan Oughtred gave their closing number, “Should I”, everything they had. The orchestra did the same â€"- and the audience stood on its feet to salute the youthful artists and their teacher in a final burst of applause. Sharon Lang, Valerie Fowles and Jane Fumerton started things tapping with “Everything’s Com- in‘ Up Roses," and right there and then the audience and the performers had ‘that feeling' that the revue was definitely “in rhy- thm." Then came the number, “Be A Clown" in which Bonnie Bryan. Kim Bell, Noranne Cor- less,-Diane Frater, Janice Green, Alice Kormendy, Barbara Upton and Lynda Taylor literally had a circus; dressed as clowns in red and yellow, these little girls went through their acrobatic dance, adorably. Next, the “Syncopated Clock.” with Debbie Burton, Susan Quin- Call it a revue, or a recital. But whatever you do, chalk up any performance by the pupils from the Dennis Moore School of Dancing in Richmond Hill, as the work of an artist and his co- artists; for every item necessary to putting on a really big show comes under Mr. Moore‘s care- ful scrutiny and receives minute attention, before the show finally goes on. Standing Ovaton For 1961 Revue Held In Thornhill High School The charming and beautiful methods in which chiffon, nylon tulle, satin, taffeta and even cot- ton materials were manipulated into a bevy of rainbow costumes and accessories, had to be seen to be appreciated fully. High- lighting the costumes were bril- liants, gold, silver or various shades of shining sequins -â€" and special mention should be made of the ‘stardust' and glitter dust- ed over the dresses of the various ballet dancers, who looked like “living dolls" as they pirouetted on stage.

It would be difficult to say which dance number was ‘tops' for each was a headliner in its own way, but the “Easter Par- ade" item on the program scored heavily with the audience. Com- plete with Fashion Commentator ‘Uncle’ Dennis, this was a minia- ture Ziegfeld numberâ€"with darl- ing little girls dressed to ‘the nines’ and wearing beautiful and fantastic hats (there was even a live bird-cage-hat), walking across the stage, as poised as any pro- fessional models or show girls. 7 Joanne Comfort then starred in “Stepping out with my Baby," after which Cathy Marnoch led Majorettes Debbie Godsman, Caroline Marnoch.

They got a big, big band from the audience. “Baby Face" brought out a bevy of tiny ballet dancers clad in blue satin costumes. with matching hats. For “Copp’elia”, mama dolls (live ones), dressed in cloudy net, white ballet cos‘ tumes and wearing brilliant cor- onets, brought Ah’s and 011’s from the enraptured crowd pres- ent â€" and the next number “Penguin Hop" brought delight- ed laughter; for who ever saw a “colony” of penguins who could keep in step While dancing, or for that matter able to wave their flippers in unison? Bobby Doherty won warm ap- plause as Mr. Snowman (really a cuddly little roly-poly); followed by “Totem Tom Tom" in which Darlene Harcourt was principal lead, for feathered and fringed Indian moppets, Sharon Crooks, Lesley Gossman, Christy Kor- mendy, Roxanne Newitt, Winni- fred Smyth, Joan Worsfold, Carol Anne Legge, Valerie Trunk, Jan- et Gould, Michele Smith, Wendy Battler and Linda Ormston.

Blue and silver were worn by Mary Lenton who soloed in the ballet “Naila”, before the tempo changed again for the tap num- ber “Silvery Moon”, a duet by Janice Neundorf and Jennifer Morton. Cerise and lime-coloured sat- ‘in was used for the eyeâ€"catching costume of Mary Lenon in her solo tap number “White Lies". And then came the “Dance of the Reed Flutes", a beautiful bal- let number from the Nutcracker Suite, the dancers beautifully dressed in coral satin outlined with silver, with silver butter- flies flashing and winking in their hair as they' pirouetted. “Ain't She Sweet" starred Debbie Al- len.

"For Me and My Gal", the Turner ‘twins’, Can- dace and John, were so exception- ally good in their performance of “Tico Tico" the audience call- ed them back for an encore, the only one of the evening permit- ted. Then came a revival of that old, tried and true number from the 20's, "The Charleston”. Oh those long-waisted. short-skirted crim- son silk dresses and those red sequinned headbands â€"â€" and those long ropes of "pearls", which the peppy_ dancers swung â€" and the ivy league costumes of the ‘boys' â€" apparently ex- cused from college, just for the occasion. Last Half Features Dennis and Maxine Following a brief intermission the last half of the show got un- derway. audience reaction very noticeably enthusiastic for the group of chorines who executed “Cha Cha Baton”. “April Show- ers” next, was followed by a live- ly tap number “Side by Side" with Dennis Moore as one of the colour-fully clad ‘Gentlemen of the Road'. And, for a very good reason, the audience asked “Where did they get those hats_!" Candace Turner was a lovely sight in her blue brocaded ballet gown for her solo "Witchcraft"; following came Jacqueline She- well, Judy Palmer, Susan Mc- Lean. Carol Collins, Fred Hill and Alex Sywak, in “Daughter of Rosy O'Grady". “Sleigh Ride” with ten dancing girls wearing short red satin dresses. matching hats and muffs, all trimmed with white fur, was a lovely number. And tremendous applause filled the auditorium for the number “Crazy Rhythm". Then came “The Belle of the Ball". This was a ballet in tra- ditional style, and one felt the group should have been dancing and gliding through a leafy glen, so ethereal and lovely did they look in their pale pink gowns of net and satin, with wreaths of pink roses in their hair. Following “AcroMaids” and “George Bailey”, both lively num- bers, Mr. Moore came on stage to thank those participating in all phases of the revue, including the audience who supported the artists with their lively interest. “The kids have donefi wonder- ful job", Dennis Moore said, "and I'm very, very proud of every one of them.” He then re- marked that owing to ill health both his mother and sister-in- law, Mrs. Elsie Moore. were un- able to be present for this year's revue, and thanked all the mo- thers for all the help they had given to making the show a suc- C855. The “Barn Dance", with Lucin- da Walanski, Lesley Spence, Mar- ilyn Orme, Shelly Orme and Li- ane Grunwold. was artistically and colourfully dealt with, after which a tap solo “Birth of the Blues" by Craig Shuttleworth drew heavy applause. Then came the lovely “Champagne Waltz" before the tempo changed for the gold medalist dancers, Janice Goodman, Lynda Rose, Judy Wil- son, Marilyn Ross and Cathy Mar- noch who danded “Mack The Knife."

Before going on with the show, Mr. Moore told the audience he had opened two other studios since January, one in Mimico and the other in New Toronto. but said the main studio will continue to be in Richmond Hill. Then came another high point in the evening â€" Dennis, and his lovely and talented dancing partner, Maxine, in a ballroom dance and the mirth-provoking “Castle Walk", which brought down the house. Just before leav- ing the stage Maxine received a bouquet of roses, Dennis Moore a music case, from his pupils, and Janis Goodman and Joanne Comfort were each presented with smart leather bandboxes for selling the most tickets for the dance revue. V “Night Train" with Jane Fum- erton. Valerie Fowles and Sharon Lang was a real ‘beat’ number, which these ballet dancers, clad in black leotards and white soft shoes, did to perfection. For her final solo number Candace Tur- ner looking like a lovely white and silver lily glided through the ballet “Waltz of the Flowers”: after which "Should I?" closed the show and left the wildly ap- plauding audience in an enthus- iastic mood following a wonderful evening of artistic entertainment â€" until the next invitation “Let’s Dance Again" is extended next year.
