Radcliffe Modern Dance Group Will Take Male Pupils

The Radcliffe Dance Group reverses the joint-education program at 4:15 p.m. this afternoon in the Agassiz Living Room when the society opens its ranks to men for the first time.

Since Harvard has no similar program, the group decided last week to include men interested in modern dance in their regular meetings. Tutees will be employed later in the year for mixed company dance productions.

No previous experience is necessary for membership. Dance Group president Judith Haskell '50 advises, however, that the dance schedule requires regular attendance at weekly meetings on Mondays and Wednesdays, when members will study dance techniques and go through stiff doses of setting-up exercises.

Although the dance group members generally do their plie's locomotor routines, and stretches in two-toned blue leotards, the standards have been shelved for the prospective male contingent. Men dancers can go barefoot and the girls suggest old shirts and trousers.
