Steve McQueen and after World War I. What should have happened long before, came about this summer, ' "' " ' , ' UNL's dance dept. hired Richard Croskey as the first male dance teacher ever at UNL. Hie Dayton, Ohio native said he began dancing when he was 8. He received his undergraduate degree from Butler University in Indianapolis and. his M.A. from Southern Methodist University in Dallas. . ' He taught at Lon Morris College in Texas and was an art director for a civic dance company , in Ohio before coming to Nebraska. Croskey has been active in starting a ' new dance company at UNL This week 27 persons-including seven men-auditioned for membership in the select group, tentatively called the University Dance Company. The company will "perform in Kimball Recital Hail Feb. 5. . Croskey said he foresees no problem in recruiting talent. "There are a lot of good men in the department right now,", he said, "and more are starting all the time." The most interesting developments in dance are now happening in university dance companies, Croskey" said. , He attributed this experimentation to several causes; the facilities available on campuses, the interested audiences and a feeling of , commitment among' the "dancers themselves. One of Croskey's favorite dance companies is directed by Elliot Field, a professor in residence at New York University, ile -described the Elliot Field Company as "basically ballet," but he added, they also have a cotemporary feeling for all forms of dance. Croskey also cited the Dance Theater of Harlem. Although the group is not as good technically as some other American companies, it is one of the most exciting, he said. The greatest challenge in teaching dance is instilling in his students the sense of commitment which is vital to the art, Croskey said. "It carries over to everything in life," Croskey said. "If you're not committed to your job, then you're not committed to anything."
