ff any or all of these events interest you
(Mayor Gerry Jennings will attempt to appear at all 50 First Night venues), pick up a
First Night button soon to beat the rush for
· buttons later. There is a limited number of
buttons available, and the staff at the
Mayor's Office of Special Events expects
that the gubernatorial inauguration the following day (and accompanying influx of
Pataki people) will increase demand for the
buttons. Buttons will be $10 each until December 27 and then will go up to $12 each.
Buttons may be purchased at many branches
of Price Chopper Supermarkets, City Hall,
Albany Visitors Center, Records 'n Such,
Palace Theatre, Omni Albany Hotel, Empire Center (The Egg) Box Office, selected
Ben & Jerry's, Albany Savings Bank, Fleet
Bank, and at the Knickerbocker Arena. Tickets, if available, will be sold at the New York
State Museum, Washington Avenue Armory,
Evergreen Bank on State Street, and the
Knickerbocker Arena until 9 p.m. on Dec. 31.
Transportation will be provided free of
charge to button holders by a fleet of 50
shuttle buses. Shuttle buses will also include
STAR buses for disabled persons, and most
events will be held in accessible buildings.
Vehicles may be parked for free at t~e Empire State Plaza and at some municipal parking lots, although you should avoid parking
at lots without attendents. For those who
wander off the First Night trail and into local pubs, the Safe Ride program will be providing free rides home to Albany County
residents. The Safe Ride program runs from
10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Safe Ride can be reached
at447-7040.
In addition to access to First Night venues, parking, and shuttles, the buttons will
be accepted for discounts at several affiliated events. Tickets for the 10:00 a.m. and
2:00 p.m. performances of The Wind in the
Willows at Steamer No. 10 Theatre are half
price for button holders on December 31.
Entrance to a production of Gemini, directed
by Don Bessette and staged at the Kraft Auditorium at CDPC at 6:00 p.m., is free with
a button. The Henry Hudson Planetarium
will reserve free tickets for button holders
to a Premier Star Show which will be presented from 7:00p.m. to 11:00p.m. on New
Years Eve. The Albany Amateur Radio Station will transmit messages of up to 20
words to anyone in North or South America
free of charge all evening in the City Hall
Common Council 'room. Finally, the River
Rats will offer ticket and food discounts for
their game against the Cape Breton Oilers
at 7 p.m. on the 31st.
There will be free admission for everyone who wishes to visit the New York State
Museum between 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. on
New Year's Eve. Those who do not make it
downtown for First Night may enjoy some
of the festivities by tuning in to several radio stations which will broadcast live from
First Night events.
The First Night Celebration is the result
of the efforts of Dorothy Dack and the staff
at the Mayor's Office of Special Events. The
planning for each First Night is often started
more than a year in advance. In addition to
the full-time staff of four, the group is joined
by volunteers in the month of December.
The volunteers help in the office by answering phones and handling correspondence.
On First Night, the volunteers act as greeters and hosts at the venues and number about
500 altogether. The Office of Special Events
also recognizes the help of dozens of sponsors who contribute to First Night. In addition to a wide variety of exceptional entertainment, next year's First Night will also
include a 5K run. Attendance at the celebration has remained in the vicinity of 16,000
to 18,000 people for the past few years. For
additional information about this enjoyable
alternative to traditional New Year's Eve
celebrations, call the Mayor's Office c;>f Special Events at 434-2032.

Dances of the Middle East unveiled by Yallah ensemble
By Kate Cohen
ALBANY - To most Americans, the cultural heritage of the
Middle East is as hidden from
view as the women who live
there. We know little more of the
region than what we read of political conflict, oil negotiations,
and terrorism.
But to the Yallah Dance
Ensemb]e, the Middle East is rich
with history and culture , traditions and innovations, music and
dance .
Caravans and Desert Sands,
playing this Saturday at eba
Theater in Albany, wi11 showcase the cu1tura1 wealth of the
countries that border the
Mediterranean. Earlier that day,
Ynllah will offer a workshop to
teach two middle eastern dances
to the public.
For the most part, Yallah will
perform traditional folk dances
Saturday night, but they will
also perform a cabaret" style
dance - what Americans refer
to as belly-dancing.
The featured performer for
this dance is Zayda, a dancer
and instructor from Palm
Springs, Florida. She and Yallah
Dance Ensemble have had a
long working relationship; they
offer educational programs in
Florida and New York State.
The ensemble, "a group of local artists who present eth_nic

Caravans and Desert Sands conjure up the...sights and sounds of

dances of the Middle East," organized in 1978, according to
Susan Polhemus, the group's
artistic director . Though they
are of varied ethnic backgrounds themselves - African,
Lebanese, Armenian, Romanian,
and Russian, among others ensemble members chose the
dances of the Middle East simply
because they •1ove the music
and the dances," said Polhemus.
The dances they have studied
a nd performed come from
Eg yp t ,
Turkey ,
Greece ,
Morocco, Syria and Israel. The
dan ces are different from one
another, said Polhemus, but they
influence one another and share
common traits. Middle Eastern
dances, for example, tend to emphasize the torso _ from the
shoulder to the hips. Zayda will
also be performing a flamenco
dance from Spain, which,
though it has links with Middle
Eastern dances, emphasizes
footwork instead.
Polhemus said Middle Eastern
dances are fairly easy for Arnericans to learn; unlike ballet, she
said, those dances are extensions
of the "natural movement of a
person." The movements are
generally the same for men and
women alike, she said, but
"unfortunately, men in this
country don't dance."
In Middle Eastern countries,
said Polhemus, it's actually more

workshop, where they will be
taught the Cane Dance and a
Pharonic-styl~ dance. The Cane
Dance originated in Upper
Egypt, wher~ canes used to -. be
used for walking and plougrung .
Male cane dancers imitate com·bat and fighting movements,
whereas female cane dance.rs
use Bofter, more flirtatiou s
movements, said Polhemus. ·
The Pharonic dance was
choreographed by Zayda, using
studies of tbe hieroglyphics
found in the tombs of pharoahs.
Would-be dancen can sign up
the morning of the workshop,
and can wear-anythlng as long
as it's comfortable and loose-fitting. Polhemus suggests that
they also bring a sash or a hipscarf, and a cane, if possible. But
