After four hour of nerve-wracking and muscle stretching tryouts, 25 girls were awakened at 3:30A.M. to a voice screaming \"You made dance club!\" Then, the girls were promptly dressed in traditional \"wacky\" initiation attire, paraded around town and ordered to do humiliating stunts: kissing strange men, buying a penny's worth of gas, or asking, hand in hand with another novice, a motel manager for a room. Continual practicing resulted in successful showcases, a concert and children's theater. A new and challenging experience in dance came with the production of the school musical \"Kismet.\" The dancers were required to learn Mid- Eastern style dancing, closely related to belly dancing.
