Walking from the school where we stayed to the streetcar that would take us to the performance halls.
It only rained that first day...

Extra-curricular entertainment:

Some unknown climbers

US-Canadian cooperation

Susanna and Gloria met a friend from Cape Town, which they visited in 1997!

To the right: an American let the girls try his specially constructed wheel. Susanna seems to be having problems! (He performed with our group at Esto 2000)

"GALAXY"

For the 98/99 season, various dance choreographers worked with the group and choreographed dances on the theme "Galaxy". Dance coach Elvira Boudakova also created expressive routines for the group. This resulted in spectacular performances at the Betty Oliphant Theatre in June 1999. (Costumes by "Illusion".)
