Barn dancing offers new twist to old routine
By KAREN MASSMAN Staff Reporter
Students bored with the bar scene or the slow pace of nightlife in Lawrence during the summer might want to become acquainted with the growing popularity of the barn dance.
People in their twenties and thirties generally represent the largest age group present at most local square and barn dances although people of all ages are represented according to members of the Lawrence Barn Dancers Association and Square D-Lites.

the Dance Association ranges from 30-80 people, Carl Graves said.
THE DANCES, including old-time square dancing, contra square dancing and Appalachian big circle dancing, are taught by a caller before each dance in the traditional way. Consequently, anyone interested in dancing doesn't have to have any experience. Harsh said.
Square De-Lites club membership has risen to 70 members since its founding in 1983 with more than 100 people present at bimonthly dances
during the school year and monthly dances during the summer.
Club members at Square De-Lite, made up of more experienced dancers, are required to take square dances lessons before they join. Each class is divided into beginning and advanced levels during their dances.
IN THE TRADITION of square dancing, alcholic beverages are not allowed during the dance, Shipley said.
The Lawrence Dance Association will sponsor a square dance tomorrow night from 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. at the Community Building located in Ridgewood and advised to bring quarters for an adapted version of a cake walk.
Dancers learn to 'break' at workshop
By MARY ALICE LEARY Staff Reporter
A group of 80 new breakdancers are almost ready to hit the streets of Lawrence after watching a demonstration and participating in a dance workshop Wednesday at the Lawrence Arts Center, Ninth and Vermont Streets.
As the dance students looked on,
"Sir Breaker," "Sir Rock," "Sir Tic," "LL Breaker," and "Casper"
jumped from their hands to their feet, walked like caterpillars and spun around on their backs with their hands clutched behind their knees.
THE 10 BREAKDANCERS that gave the demonstration at the Arts Center represented five break-dancing groups from the Kansas Minority Arts Repository. "Cassius," the group, "Little Boy Breakers," "Cosmic Force," and "Fabulous Four."
The Minority Arts Repertory is a local support group for anyone interested in the arts, Hasabi Bailey, and director of the Repertory said.

"BREAKDANCING IS a combination of gymnastics, rock dancing and tumbling," Ali said. "It started in the streets of New York City when they kids realized they could do something."
The music that the breakers danced to was a combination of the sounds of groups like Culture Club, french pop groups, percussion and rapping, or rhythmic talking, Ali said.
After the demonstration, the spectators, consisted mostly of teenagers, broke up into 10 groups where they were instructed on the
techniques of the dance, such as moon walking, tic walking and slicing.
Ali said that safety was their foremost concern and told the groups, "Don't try anything we don't tell you to do."
TO AVOID INJURY to the neck, dancers "should learn not to spin at the base of the spine. Spinning should be done on the shoulders or buttocks." Ali said. "And little kids should not do headspins.
