The Ballet Society of Southland produced 'Dance 76' which involved a large number of dancers of all ages showcasing the work of four choreographers. Excerpts from 'West Side Story", "Sweet Charity" and "Charleston" will be performed.

The opener 'Degas Ballet' by Julie Young and her nine girls bought to live a painting.  Set in downtown New York was a modern ballet "Repercussions' also by Julie Young.
Three dancers, Kathryn Small, Hillary Norrish, and Michelle Rongen captured the story beautifully,
'The Little Mermaid' choreographed by Margaret Cook is a love story.  The Mermaid was danced by Valda Ryan with a large contingent of dancers representing other mermaids.
