Yet it takes a certain amount of grit to defy convention, especially in that bastion of conformity and peer pressure - high school. "In high school, ballet and jazz dancing were not exactly the popular thing to do," Ken Urie says, "and I got razzed a lot, which was an obstacle to my dancing. I had to overcome that obstacle - and I did." a community The drive to dance was so strong, Urie says, that it overrode his fear of being belittled. He began taking jazz dance privately in his senior of young artists year. Once his classmates saw a performance, he says, the snickers died. Now, as a dancer in the reer goal or avocation, Whitworth Ballet Company, Urie has found acceptance among football the arts are not simply players, physical fitness freaks and something you do, say other avid dancers. "Dancing has given me a base, an these Whitworth students, they're identity. You ask people what they do and they might say 'I'm a part of what you are.

While Urie would like nothing better than to be a professional dancer, he knows the odds against by lonna baldwin that are great. And he's torn. He values academics, too. photographs by don woodward "I really don't know how I feel yet. Being a dancer is kind of like a dream. And not all dancers are Baryshnikovs, you know. So it's nice having the academics." During his three years at Whitworth, Urie visited London with a Whitworth study tour, where he saw many excellent dancers. In January, he traveled to New York with 13 other dancers and instructor Rita Rogers. While he was there, he auditioned for a Walt Disney's World Dancer's show. "It was a real tragedy," Urie says. "I was number 300 and something in the singing competition but I was passed on to the dancing portion of the competition. And on the first combination, I did a hitch kick and sprained my big toe." Naturally, Urie was disappointed, URIE but the trip provided inspiration, rather than defeat. He found he 4
