Armenian dance troupe looking for new members
Friday, May 20, 2005

As the Sayat Nova Dance Company of Boston gears up for another busy
year of rehearsals, activities, socials and performances, the troupe
is looking for Armenian youth to join into the family-like, energetic
environment of dance and camaraderie.

Interested individuals should not feel intimidated to join the company,
because no dance experience is necessary.

Since over 60 percent of dancers currently are women, there’s plenty
of room for male dancers to join. The atmosphere is comfortable and
the dress code is casual (sweats and sneakers) for beginners’ classes.

Dance classes for beginners are free and have already begun.

They are held at the Abaka Armenian School for Performing Arts,
101 Bigelow Ave., from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Classes are held every Sunday
and are designed to teach inexperienced dancers the basic steps of
Armenian dance, along with correct posture and stance. Once they
master these basic steps, they will be ready to join in the regular
group rehearsals of Sayat Nova, held on Sundays from 7 to 9:30 p.m.,
at the Armenian Cultural and Educational Center, 47 Nichols Ave.

(next to Abaka). Interested individuals must be over the age of 16
or a junior in high school.
