Knox Roger C. Knox 702 North Tioga Street Ithaca, NY 14850 TO THE MEMORY OF RALPH PAGE THIS WORK IS RESPECTFULLY AND AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED "He was a very special human being." (Dave Fuller) "It was a sad day for the dance world when he passed on. He left thousands of friends, and probably hundreds of his-taught Contra-callers who will perpetuate his memory for some time to come." (Beverly B. Wilder Jr.) "All who knew him have suffered a great loss." (Lannie McQuaide) "About very few can it be truly said that 'He was a legend in his own time,' but Ralph certainly was and is such a legend. The world of dance is a richer place because he was here." (Ed Butenhof) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There is a danger when one starts naming those who helped in a task that someone may have been left off the "Honor Roll." To avoid that problem 1 wish to thank everyone who gave me any encouragement, advice, orders for the Index, or anything else one can imagine. I wish specifically to thank several people who played an important role in this endeavor and I will risk the wrath of someone I may have missed but who will nevertheless live in my heart forever.

Tyers Hall is th unavailable due SUN 4 NOV 2018 7.30pm to the art show VRI Hall, 18-20 Queens Parade, Traralgon There is a colourful & exotic end of year treat planned for the final show of the Café Culture Series 2018. Parvyn Singh, lead singer of Melbourne’s original Bollywood outfit ‘The Bombay Royale’ has developed the show in conjunction with the four other members of the troupe. A singer dances within, a dancer sings within. Parvyn is both and exudes a seemingly effortless grace and purity in her movement and voice. She has been performing on stages around the world from childhood with her father Dya Singh. Parvyn is joined by two other fabulous professional dancers and teachers, Ida Ghate and Shamita Sivabalan. In the early part of the program they showcase the rhythmic footwork of the classical dance style ‘kathak’ and how it interacts with the tabla (two variable pitched drums played with the hands). The tabla will be expertly played by Jay Dabgar who was born and raised in India in a family of tabla- makers and commenced his systematic training at the tender age of four. More musical accompaniment arrives in the form of the dilruba, an Indian bowed instrument played by the multi- talented Josh Bennett. (Dil means heart; Ruba means to enchant). He will also play guitar and sitar.
