IT'S YOlJRi3lJSINESS
Dance instructor expands lessons in Zurich
Kim Redick offers- weekly Latin, ballroom and ballet lessons at the town hall
By Brenda Burke '
T -A Reporter
ZURICH - From the structured
steps of clogging and line dancing
to the grace of ballet and ballroom
dancing. Kim Redick has mastered
them all. Now the Zurich dance/
music instructor has a passion for
Latin steps that are currently hot on
the youth dance scene. •
"You pick it up realty fast," she
explained of the expressive moves
g popular in the Caribbean and in
y central and South America.
"It's really good aerobic ex-
ercise." she said. -"All the. people
that leave (my classes), .they're to=
tally out of breath . and they're
sweating...You can -really express
yourself. • • • -
Redick got hooked on Latin danc-
ing in Cuba five years ago and
learned a -few tips • from South
'American friends- in Korea while
doing TV dance demonstrations
and attending festivals.
She aims to proniote Latin danc-
ing with teens and young adults and
is teaching some steps' to exchange
'students from Australia and New'
Zealand, ••
"They're my star students,' she
;said. adding her other Latin dance
students "can even make up some
of their own steps. now, they're get-
ting so good at- it."
Redick began to teach ballet.
'ballroom and Latin dancing at the
Zurich Town Hall. in November,
l just two months after moving her
;voice and piano lessons from her
thomc into a rico.studio in Zurich.
. "i need to he dancing some-
' how...it's my passion," said Rc-
jdick, who had put her dance career.
ion hold when a car accident in Zu- .
rich left her with lower hack in -
"My plans kind of went all out
the window." explained the 26 -
year -old
who initially set her sights
on opening a city dance school.
However, she considers Zurich a
central area:to teach and, after com-
ing up empty-handed on a suitable
dance space, settled on the town
hall with its supportive wooden
floor. - ,
"I really like the students and
that's why i haven't left." she con-
. tided; stressing Zurich is her home.
Redick began to teach dance
overseas last year -and was' over-
whelmed with enquiries when she
returned. The 'Laurier University
music major has been dancing her
entire Iifc. Shc attended the Dor-
othy Carter School of Dance in
London, where she was introduced
to hallet as a late beginner at. nine
years -old.
While on Wednesday nights she
offers Latin dancing (including the
salsa and merengue) and ballroom
dancing (including the tango, waltz,
cha-cha and foxtrot), Redick de-
scribes Saturday as "ballet day."
She teaches three classes. in-
cluding pre -ballet for ages four to
seven, a beginner class for ages 10
to 13 and a teen/adult introductory
class. - -
"They do it mostly for exercise."
she explained of her ballet students.
describing her .10 -member pre
-
ballet class as the most popular.
"i'm getting most. of my, calls for
the little kids' class, really," she
said. "It's good exercise for older
people too." .
Redick teaches dance in four to
five-week sessions from September
to July and people can join the Lat-
in class at any time. She plans to in-
clude a stretch/relaxation class next
year and may offer courses during
the summer.
Pcoplc often -ask Redick about
aerobics:
"1 hate aerobics...probahly be-
cause I'm a dancer.' she said. ex-
plaining aerobic benefits can be
•
achieved through dance, which of-
fers movement with more of a
sense of purpose.
"1 know there's a lack of ballet in
the arca," she said, adding "You
pretty much (had) to go to London"
to learn ballroom and Latin dancing
as well.. .
She recalls teaching dance in
high school, university and in her
Zurich home.
• "Now I'm bombarded with stu-
dents," she said. "I'm happy to ex-
pand."
Redick's assistant, Laura Cooper,
is a Grade 11 South Huron District
High School student who has trained
at Dance London.
"1 just started out with jazz. and
now 1 take eight .classes a,week,"
said the 16 -year-old who also has
tap, ballet and theatre experience.
"1 love helping with this." she said
of Redick's dance husiness. "It's so
much I'm"

Playhouse and
GRAND BEND --Big money
prizes have hit the Playhouse this
summer! The Huron Country
Playhouse is once again joining
with the Ausahlc- Hayfield
_Conservation Foundation to help
support the preservation of nature
and professional theatre.
Both the environment and per-
formance arts (theatre) arc two
components of our society that are
being forgotten. Through nature we
can experience the beauty and
peacefulness ofwhat our globe has
to offer us. The theatre 'is a place
where the imagination can come
alive through the presentation of
drama, music and dance. Both of
these components are where magic
can happen, from the growth of a
tree, the birth of an animal to the
dazzle of a chorus and thesinging
of a sweet lullaby. These are things
that are rarely experienced by our
busy and chaotic society. So this
summer take some time to sit hack
and enjoy nature and the amaze-
ment of a theatrical perforinance.
You can help support by pur-
chasing a CASH IS KING ticket by
either calling the Playhouse now or
picking one up during the summer
