Curtains Going Up -- Broader Horizons Offer Enticement To Local Devotees Of The Dance -- Dance

The Allegro! Dance Festival specializes in contemporary dance. It features the works of both nationally renowned choreographers and emerging regional artists. As the season opener, Pat Graney, recently returned from an East Coast tour, will be premiering "Sax House," set to music composed and performed by the Billy Tipton Saxophone Quartet. Also on the bill but in a totally different vein is "Jesus Loves the Little Cowgirls," set to the live country-Western tunes of Ranch Romance.
