...Judy West, at Los Angeles' Red Roulette room, is a kind of Patti Page of the keyboard. Combining elegance and brash good humor, she bounces freely from Latin to folk, Hawaiian to Dixieland, but is most effective in numbers with a hint of country twang.

He stands out against the brash red of the fire engine--black uniform, arms akimbo--like a medieval executioner. His domestic life is equally grim. His wife is preoccupied with the puppets and parrots on their mammoth television screen. The two live in that great monument to sterility: a mod house. Streamlined furniture done...
...poop. Later, he enlivened and internationalized his programs with Afternoon of a Faun by America's Jerome Robbins, Card Game by South Africa's John Cranko, Aimez-vous Bach by Canada's Brian MacDonald, and Agon by Denmark's First Eske Holm, a Flindt protege. Brash, bristling with energy, Flindt has reorganized the training methods of the company and its dance school, initiated open auditions and, for the first time, hired non-Danish dancers. ("Five million Danes are not enough to draw from," he says...
