Dayton Dally Nwt and Journal Herald Jan. 25, 1987 1 ayton dance proves its grand health New York City In 1946, La Sonnambula Is a dramatic ballet in which a young sleepwalker, her elderly husband and a poet interact at a masked ball. The score Is an arrangement from TOtilY ON DANCE pEAR MR. WOLFF: When defending against trump coutract, what should a 'defender Infer If partner makes a high low play In trumps? I j. No Come-on, Eastlake, Ohio COME-ON: The high-low slg-Ina! Ill trumps Is called a trump echo.

It Iguarintees the holding of at least one imore trump, and for many partnerships lit suggests the ability to score a ruff, i t)EAR MR. WOLFF: I open two hearts and partner responds two no-trump (negative). If I rebid three hearts, Is partner forced to bid again? No Stopping, Glenwood Springs, I Colo. DEAR STOPPING: Years ago, a fore-'ing-to-game two-bid meant Just that the partnership was forced to keep the bidding open until game was reached tor! until the opponents were doubled. jTdday, many reduce the requirements an opening two-bid, and the system allows the bidding to die after a negative response and opener's minimum rebid In the opened suit, DEAR MR.

WOLFF: If we use a "short club," when Is It permissible for opener is forced to open one club with a three-card suit. As a general rule, one should not raise clubs without good four-card support. Bidding any four-card major or one no-trump should take priority over a single raise In clubs. DEAR MR. WOLFF: Partner preempted three hearts with nine hearts headed by the A-K.

I called this bid the chicken bid of the year. Do you agree? Missed One, Baltimore, Md. DEAR MISSED: A whole year covers a lot of territory, so I don't know If I can agree. However, that bid Is in the running; clearly an opening of four hearts would have shown more enterprise. DEAR MR.

WOLFF: If partner bids Blackwood and I hold no aces but do hold a useful void, should I respond five clubs or show an ace by bidding five diamonds? Stacked Deck, Detroit, Mich. DEAR STACKED: Better to show none and decide whether to bid again later. If you promise an ace, partner will play you for it and perhaps get to an unmakable grand slam. carried away. DCDC II shook loose a new one called Sweat, a frolic to pop music by Columbus jazz choreographer Dlno Anderson, It was visual enough to be a video, and meant to be nothing more than fun.

Its middle section for three male dancers was the most sedate but also the best. Dance Theatre Dayton, which is being seen little these days, performed two of Its most Imaginative staples, Sculptures in the Sand, by artistic director Deborah DeRudo, and Styled Life, by Melissa Swartz. The first is smooth but full of pleasant surprises, while the second Is a never-ending succession of Ideas that change as quickly as televised Images. DB II, DCDC II and DTD will get together for another "Afternoon of Dance" In March. If it's anything like their first collaboration this season, the tickets will probably go quickly.

All -Balanchine program Anyone who has the idea that George Balanchlne's only artistic concern was pure dance might want to attend the Cincinnati Ballet's Feb. 5-7 series at Music Hall. The Cincinnati premiere of the darkly romantic La Sonnambula will highlight an all-Balanchine program that will also Include Scotch Symphony and Concerto Barocco two works the company has performed In the past. Choreographed by Balanchine as Night Shadow for Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo and first performed In By Terry Morris DANCE WRITER They had to turn people away at the most recent "Afternoon of Dance" fea turing Dayton Ballet II, Dayton Contemporary Dance Company II and Dunce Theatre Dayton In performance at the University of Dayton's Boll Theatre. The full house last Sunday was just one more Indication on a day full them that the future of dance as it is being developed and nurtured right here Is healthy.

Other Indications were the vitality and variety of the choreography, and the blossoming presence of the young performers, Some with caution and others with abandon, they are begin nlng to explore the other side of the boundary that divides the safe privacy of the studio from the adventure and treachery of the stage. Those best able to make the transition from student to performer will make themselves known soon enough, so it would be wrong today to single out any of them as the stars of tomorrow. Before filing away a day without pretensions that turned out to be completely delightful, however, a few other comments are in order. One is the fact that It's nice to see Bess Saylor hasn't lost her very Individual touch. It's been a few years since we've seen any of her choreography (she's become Bess Saytor Imber since then), but she had two works among the six on the program.

There was Afternoon, Evenln- Vlncenzo Bellini's operas La Sonnam- bula anil I Puritan! Scotch Symphony, a 1952 work said to be inspired by Scottish parade regi-; ments, is danced to Felix Mendels-; sohn's Symphony In A minor (Scotch Symphony), while the pure dance Concerto Barocco 1 94 1 is done to Johann Sebastian Bach's Concerto in minor for Two Violins, The latter Is one of the few Balanchine works that has been acquired by many ballet companies. Pamela Bathurst, soprano with the Ensemble Company of the Cincinnati Opera, will perform arieas from the opera La Sonnambula Anting the first intermission all three nights. All three performances will be at 8 p.m. Tickets are $8 to $32 and may be purchased at Ticketron locations, Laza-' rus and Sears stores, or charged by phone (1-621-1 110) with Mastercard or Lunchtime ballet Dayton Ballet will have its second lunchtime ballet of the season at noon Feb. 1 1 at the Victory Theatre.

Tickets are $2 and will be sold at the door. Complimentary seats for senior citizens and group discounts are also available. Call 222-3661. Aftermidnight a 1979 Dayton Contemporary Dance Company favorite that lives happily on in the company repertory. By juxtaposing bluegrass fiddle with classical violin it has bio-rhythms that are as different as day and night, but the echo of one can be heard In the other.

There was also a harder-edged new Imber work entitled Refractions, a momentum-building duet for Dayton Ballet II's Jennifer Schildknecht and Robert Eberly that was the standout of the day. Set to piano variations by Aaron Copland, it's of an Inward bent and requires an emotional and Intellectual Investment that only Its participants can supply. It's a worthy challenge for even an experienced couple. DB II opened the program with another new work, Second Thoughts, by Dayton Ballet dancer Barbara Ponte-corvo. She still says she can't see herself as a choreographer, but this effort for three couples showed promise.

It was distinguished by Its effective use of the music by Gabriel Faure, anticipating the high points well. There were hints of passion, but it never let itself be responder to raise clubs? Shaky Ground, Albuquerque, N.M. PEAR SHAKY: Many play a five-card major system, which dictates an opening in the longer minor when no five-card major Is held.
