ENTERTAINMENT anon 4:1 s They may be small, but they can out tango, waltz and cha cha some of Broadway's best. STEVE HARTZ Staff Writer Marci Lynn as a tapping 10 year old. 68 FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1990 w hen she was 2, Stefani Bindes was , fitted with her first pair of dance shoes. Since then, she has worn out more than nine pairs of ballet shoes, 12 pairs of tap shoes and a score of jazz shoes. 4 Now 13, Bindes lugs eight sets of dance shoes with her as she commutes from her Livonia home to Annette and Co. in Farmington Hills where she studies tap, ballet and jazz. Bindes is one of several local Jewish children ad- dicted to dancing. They in- clude everyone from 3-year- olds wearing tutus to youngsters wearing the gold medals they've won at na- tional dance competitions. Bindes has donned more than 40 dance recital costumes over the years and will sport seven more next month as Annette and Co. presents its recital, "Les Follies Fantastique," at Birmingham Seaholm High School. For the past year, Bindes, one of Detroit's junior Gin- ger Rogers, has been per- forming with one of its ju- nior Fred Astaires — 12- year-old Marc Bleyer of Bloomfield Township. Bindes and Bleyer have danced together in local pro- ductions of West Side Story, playing Anybodys and Baby John, and Once Upon a Mat- tress, appearing as a ballet- dancing prince and princess. Bleyer moved from Marc Bleyer is reaching new heights as a dancer. Chicago six years ago, where he studied tap and ballet in an all boys' class. Since corn- ing to Detroit and joining Annette and Co., he's added jazz to his dancing resume. After watching his older sister, Jennifer, and younger sister, Stephanie, progress as dancers, Bleyer desired to tap his way to the stars — but he wasn't interested in tap. He wanted to learn break-dancing. "I made a deal with my mom that if I took ballet and tap for a year then she'd let me learn break-dancing," he said. He enjoyed his dance classes so much that he soon forgot about the deal and didn't collect on the bargain. "I think more boys should take dance," said Bleyer, a 7th grade student at Hillel Day School. "Some of my classmates now think that it's really cool that I take dance and even ask me to teach them 'The Roger Rabbit' and 'The Running Man,' two new dance steps." Both Bleyer and Bindes were dancing successes at the Dupree Dance Competi- tion last March in Plymouth, where more than 500 youngsters showed their best dance moves. Bleyer won a gold medal as he and partner Mark Bergasse, 12, performed a jazzy routine, dancing to the South Pacific song, "There's Nothing Like a Dame." Bleyer and the junior chorus from Annette and Co., com- prised of 16 8-12 year-old students, then took a silver medal for their jazz routine. To top off the competition, Bleyer received the Dupree Dance Academy Scholarship and will attend the academy in Hollywood, Calif., this summer. One award Bindes receiv- ed at this year's Dupree
