IS 11 II llll II AC-:" i i yy II: company has recently been titled, brought a program of 14 dances. In "Yurochka," the Byelorussian's Don Juan, a rakish young man swivels his hip as tho attached to an outstretched heel, tilts his shoulder, tips his hat and plays male chauvinist games with a townful of demure lovelies each with a perpetual dainty finger on her dainty chin. In the Russian festival dance, the Polyanka, there's a funny heel-toe scissor step and a brush-step swagger. The classic Ukranian "Go-pak" uses men as spectacular projectiles.

Thruout much of the folk dances, the lines are punctuated with an exclamatory kicking leg, dotted by the floor contact of a flex-footed heel. In addition to the abstract folk dances, the company does several scenarios, "Old City Quadrille" is a nose high, stiff necked, mock pompous pre-revolutionary social dance. "Khorumi" is an eighth century dance of crouching Adzharian guerrilla fighters, moving to the tight staccato of a Caucasian drum. Moiseyev introduced a Si- BUSINESS as usual at the Civic Opera House last night. Even tear gas on opening night, a bomb threat, and tight security measures for Thursday couldn't keep a nearly full house away from the Moiseyev Dance Company's first Chicago visit in five years.

The tension may have even helped. There was more of an edge on the opening old Russian Dance Suite. The proud dancers stood even more erect than they had before Wednesday's disruption. Their opened chests led them into their movements, their wide-stretched arms with the outstretched palms seemed at once a gesture of gracious innocence and defiant confidence. You can imagine, seeing Igor Moiseyev's startling male dancers, that they sometimes sit on invisible foot-high springs which give them the stability to shoot both legs out at once and the incredible buoyancy to keep them airborne.

They've legs so loose and flexible they seem almost to deflate as well as fold. The State Academic Ensemble of Popular Dance of the Soviet Union, as the IT JL -TIME MAGAZINE Soloists Tamara Zeifert and Boris Berezin From their bag of tricks, the company pulled out the familiar "Partisans," where the dancers become both riders and the ridden who can trot and cantor, and a wonderful wrestling match between two halves of the same man. For an encore? The Virginia Reel, no less. Linda Winer cilian Tarantella, complete with decorated chariot, and a "Gaucho" a strange combination of the zapateado verticality and the soviet horizontal use of space into his repertory. His daughter Olga Moiseyeva, and veteran Lev Golovanov were among the highlights in a Bessarabian Gypsy dance.

The order was massacre, and good soldiers follow orders. These soldiers were the best.
