Germ an, American dancers

share stage at Livonia Spree

By Sharon Dargay s t a f f W r i t e r Debbie Felton’s Academy of Dance will add a little German flair to its annual appearance on the main stage Saturday at Livonia Spree. The Academy’s competitive dance team will share perfor­ mance time with Ballettschule Feibicke, a group of dancers 1 from Berlin, Germany. ; 1 ( “At Spree we’ll do jazz, contempor^, tap—we’re bringing a little of everything,” said Janet Coppola, the Acad- emjr’s office manager. She suspects the German troupe will perform ballet and con­ temporary dances. “Their ballet is more con­ temporary. Their pieces may have a more modem look. People love to watch other people express themselves. I don’t think it matters if it’s jazz, ballet or tap. Having these young ladies from Ger­ many will be an experience for people in Livonia.” Ballettschule Feibicke is in Michigan this week through an 18-year-old exchange program with Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, which is located in Twin Lake north of Muskegon.
