After playing the dying young ballerina Niki in last year's cinema flop Six Weeks, Katherine Healy, 14, might have been hesitant about dancing again in public. Not a bit of it. The New York City native was back on her toes most recently at the celebrated International Ballet Competition in Varna, Bulgaria, where she became only the second U.S.-born gold medalist. The first, in 1974, was Fernando Bujones, 28, who is now an established American Ballet Theater star. Healy has been rumored to be interested in A.B.T. too, but she says it is premature to make...
According to former associate athlete director Niki Janus, the Athletic. Department decided in 1979 to ask some of the women leading cheers at basketball games to perform at football games as well. "All this was at the instigation of a few graduates," said Janus. "They wondered why Harvard was the only Ivy school without cheerleaders and thought it world be nice to revive a little school spirit "So, aimed with megaphones, pom poms, and a few hundred dollars from the University, the cheerleaders took Soldiers Field by storm-or almost. "It was pretty embarassing at first," remembers one veteran...

...Hollywood is a dance number called "Famous Feet." Tommy Tune, who brings an irrepressible humor to his choreography as well as dauntless invention, has devised a narrow, mirror-backed bridge span of a stage high above the stage proper. Only the legs and feet of the dancers (Niki Harris and Albert Stephenson) are visible. By their styles and their shoes, ye shall know them. Some feet! Fred and Ginger, naturally, as well as Garland, Chaplin, Dietrich and, believe it, Mickey and Minnie...
