While ballet is a much more structured form of dance, modern dance allows the dancers
to use more of their body. Marg Dupee (left) and Jayne Snell, instruct youth between the

Program offers something
different for local youth
CLINTON - Ballet and modern dance are
not common in this area, but Marg Dupee
and Jayne Snell are in their second year of
offering a modern dance and ballet pro-
gram to children and youth.
The third year university students decid-
ed to start the program here because they
"wished I had been offered it when I was
young," said Marg.
Presently, 27 participants, whose ages
range from three to 15 -years -old are taking
part in the course.
On Monday. nights, the pair teach ballet
in the arena auditorium and on Wednesday
nights they teach modern dance.
"Modern dance is less structured - you
use your torso and the ground more. In
ballet you use your arms and legs a lot,"
said Jayne.
During the ballet sessions, participants
spend 40 minutes at the bar, working on
their muscle control and warming -up.
"The bar is used to learn the technique
with an aid," explained Jayne, with Marg
adding, "They need to do some work on
their own to get it right."
Although ballet requires a lot of co-
ordination and discipline, the instructors
claim that it does not force one to over ex-
ert oneself.
"You work up a sweat but you're not
totally out of breath."
One thing Marg and Jayne would like to
see is more males signing up for the
course.
"Last year we had one male in the older
class but we don't have any this year,"
said Marg.
Both instructors have a good
background in dance, with Marg teaching
figure skating and both majoring in dance
at university.
